Imagine this motor in a TeamW116 280S ?

Something looks bent in the front end.

The 420 always suffered from having too long a diff ratio and felt sluggish compared to a 560.

Looks a tidy car apart from the ding.

I reckon the dude was doing burnouts on the front lawn and hit the letterbox!!

If this engine were going in my track car, and if it get's re-listed it possibly will.....it would incur a 3.46:1 LSD diff ratio.. none of this 'lazy' 'cruisy' MB diff standard.

Would definitely be a good buy for say a panel beater shop to buy and fix on the cheap to sell on e-bay.. Oscar, maybe you could save this car?!

Hi guys, you get a hell of a lot of car for quite cheap money. I have driven one some while ago and you've got to give it 'some stick' to get it up and going - but they certainly will do that and are an extremely serene and restful cruising car with plenty of style in abundance.

It'd be interesting to find out what the reserve would be. Regards Styria

This should bring in its present status about $1200-$1500....

We can put this thread to rest now. There had been a reserve of $1000.00 and the car changed hands privately at that price. Regards Styria
