this reminds me about back in the 80s sometimewhen David E. Davis joined
Car & Driver as Editor he was given a similar car that had received many
upgrades. Can't recall if it were a diesel or gas but is was
_definitely _powered by /MB/. C&D had the suspension lowered,
installed AMG wheels (IIRC) and put in a $3000 or $4000 sound system.
They also did heavy window tinting and some custom painting where i
believe the lower area (below the waste Trim) was painted a darker color
- possible brown below and a soft yellow above. I probably have the
C&D issue around if I ever get time to look for this article i will. I
will scan and share it if I ever find it....
re the 300TD with a 383 crate engine -- don't know why they didn't just
repair the MB engine - it would never have cost as much as a 383 crate
= or perhaps they just wanted an American V8?
