Hi Tarek yes the alloy wheels are only for the photo not currently on the car. The photo's are not current so car is in worse condition than shown. But Franz is the owner of this car Chassis number not stated but known to be #00166 one of the first 600 made . Geoff

Motec what happened to the project? Loss of interest or funds? Was it an ex-client's car, or Franz's personal one?

 

[motec 6.9]

Hi Mark it was Franz own car he had twin turbos on this car at one point in time with pictures on his site. Says in add that he does not have time to work on it due to work commitments . Geoff but it is over priced in that condition as most people will tell to re store a 600 that is not going srarts a six figures and then climbs quickly

 

[Styria]

Well, I honestly think that this is a dreadful car - more question marks to it than you'd find in the United Nations charter. Priced to frighten anyone. Regards Styria

Was this it Motec??

 

[motec 6.9]

Hi Mark yes that is the same car . Geoff

Twin turbo?

Bugger that!

The legacy of the thrashing that thing would have copped not to mention the low compression needed to run turbo, O ringed heads, trans and driveline damage etc.

The car is worth parts value.

Anyone notice it is a 6.9 in there?

 

[Tony66_au]

Nope, But I cant tell one M100 from another anyway.

 

[Oversize]

I did!!!! If it's an Aussie engine I'd have thought the comp would be low enough for a pair of turbos... BTW I don't think the project was ever finished so it prob never had the chance to be thrashed!

 

[Tony66_au]

So its a Bitsa!

Shame all these hotrodded big block Benzes for sale.............

its the one hard rule I have with these old girls, any chance of hoonage and I walk away.

 

[Oversize]

Yes what they did to the front of the engine to drive the original equipment of the Grosser is just a mess!

 

[Tony66_au]

I see the hydraulic pump on the left bank but whats the big compressor on the right bank?

 

[Oversize]

That's for the original air suspension. I think the hydraulics for the Grosser was driven by a pump attached to the rear of the air compressor

 

[Styria]

I can count six belt driven pulleys, including an interesting one in the shape of an air suspension compressor, yet I can also spot the hydraulic pump as used on the hydraulically suspended Ch. 116 and Ch. 126 models. Which one was he using - also, what was the method of feeding oil to the air suspension compressor. A very gifted engineer, an overly complex project. Incidentally, an Australian M100 (6.9) engine runs a compression of 8.00:1 - surely even that ratio could be a bit high for a turbo installation.
