Re: [MBZ] This is a pretty car
I know these cars very well (owned and restored two of them, plus several 111 coupes). The declining angle of the bumpers probably means they need to be adjusted - relatively simply to do. I like the power windows although a s/r would be nice. One wonders what's under the sheepskins On Jan 16, 2008 8:27 AM, LarryT [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's a typical 280S W108 chassis - carburated version of the 280SE/SEL. I owned one for many years - it was my 1st MB. Big 6 cylinder that cruised effortlessly at 80 all day long - that was it;s sweet spot - the suspension got firm and felt as smooth as glass - the engine was running at the rpm it seemed to like - I guess it was into the peak hp or peak torque rpm. It was a typical S Class sedan - MB offered more powerful versions - like the 300SE/SEL 6.3 which was a true hot rod but the 280S/SE/SEL was the S Class for the masses. Loved it. My only complaint was the carbs (dual) which never seemed right altho I usually for upper teens/low 20s gas mileage. I probably would have disliked the FI even more since I knew nothing about FI at the time. The price for this one is not bad - but I wouldn;t pay more that $2500 for a very nice one. Also, this one doesn;t seem to have the typical rust around the headlight buckets but the angle of the front bumper indicates rust on the bumper supports - which can be pretty expensive to repair. The 6 is more economical to operate and maintain that the 4.5 V8 common to the 72-73 models. But nothing compares to a diesel for simplicity and economy. Let ,me know if anyone gets serious about this car and Ill look closer at the photos. Now that I think about it, I'd like to have one of these if I had the space.

Re: [MBZ] Does anybody else get Homepower?
Yup - it was me. I gave up on the 617 idea right after I got the SDL - it HAS to be a 603 engine. The 603 is both lower, and much more V8 like than a 617. The difference is night/day. I suspect the photog in that article thinks all Mercedes are Diesel powered.

Does anyone know what the difference in height between the gas engines in a '78 450SL or an '83 380SL and a 617 are? Several years ago, somebody here (or mbz.org) claimed to have done the measuring, and if you gave the engine the normal height above ground there would be 2-3 inches of interference between the timing chain bulge on the valve cover and the R107 hood. I don't know if that would also make the air filter too high, or if a hood scoop over the valve cover would do the trick.

[MBZ] The Homepower picture
I emailed Homepower and have gotten a stack of replies from them. One thing you've got to admit is they stand behind their product, I've always gotten good replies from them quickly. Anyway on this one they say its a conversion. One of the respondants says he talked to the owner of the car (the husband of the woman pictured) who said it came from a 300 series car. I asked for more clarification just to see if maybe it was a scam. Interesting -Curt - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
