That's it - I'm out. Bigtime DC lawyer had a similar car in S class. The dash comprised about 1/2 of a 90 year old walnut (?) tree. Considering how ordinary the exterior looked the impact of that wood was enough to blow your mind.

If anyone wants me to look at it, it's 10 - 20 miles from me. What kind of engine is that? I do recall our '72 220D/8 with an OM615 had the injection pump on the driver's side of the engine. I don't recall what our '64 190Dc had for an engine, nor specifically which side of the engine the injection pump was on, but I do recall replacing a gasket on the lift pump in my parents' garage in Eugene, OR, and that was on the driver's side, implying the injection pump was there as well. This car's engine appears to have the injection pump on the passenger's side with the lines going over to the driver's side.

My 36HP VW would maintain 70 mph as long as the head wind wasn't too strong nor the hills too steep. That Diesel will have much more torque as well. I think it will easily do 75mph.

This is about what I was thinking: 42hp 0-60mph 37s 0-100kph 42s Top speed 68mph. But that was a manual trans, and the Hemmings car is supposed to be an automatic? Compares favorably to a 36hp VW a friend drove 60 years ago that had to draft a truck to maintain 65mph. https://www.automobile-catalog.com/car/1955/1460195/mercedes-benz_180_d.html On Sun, May 17, 2020 9:32 am, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: > Todd Knutson would be the best resource on this, but I believe he has > said these cars will hold their own on todays roads as far as speed. > Definitely the six cylinder models will. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

At least the first one is. I wonder how old that picture is, and what the car really looks like today? That’s a major, major pet peeve for me. People who use pictures that are years old for a current advertisement. I once considered a W110 in CT (thanks, Dwight and friends!) that had photos in the ad that were between two and three years old. The car barely resembled them, if I recall correctly. -D > On May 17, 2020, at 12:46 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > period-correct photos > > --FT > > On 5/16/20 10:17 PM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes wrote: >> https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/mercedes-benz/180d/2401588.html?refer=alert_source=alert_medium=email_campaign=2020-05-15 >> >> >> Dwight Giles Jr. >> Wickford RI >> ___ >> http://www.okiebenz.com >> >> To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ >> >> To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: >> http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com >> >> > -- > --FT > > > ___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Todd Knutson would be the best resource on this, but I believe he has said these cars will hold their own on todays roads as far as speed.
