Re: [MBZ] Don't See These Every Day...

[MG via Mercedes]

Yeah more or less the same thing. I believe there were just minor 
timing and carburetion differences.


That engine was also used in the bus. That might be an 
interesting car to get. I have a 6 cyl 911 engine with 5 speed 
transmission in an 82 bus that would fit into there right easy 
and probably make it go just a bit better.

The seats do look a tad MBish. Is the engine that is in this 
similar to the
one in Porsche 912s? I had a friend back in the day claimed he 
had a 912

engine in his type 4. I could never verify.

I don't know and I'm too tired/sore (cut up a scrap snowmobile trailer today) 
to go find my "For the Complet idiot" book. I think that sounds vaugely right. 
The engine is only a relative cousin to the upright engine in the Beetle 
anyway, more like the pancake engine in the Type 3. I *think* the Type 4 engine 
is the same as in the late bus.

My Saab 99 (a very aerodynamic car for its day and mine had a huge factory air
dam in front) would do an honest 200kph with the tach over redline, on 2 liters
and 8 valves. Don't know how fast it would have gone if the power peak coincided
with top speed.

Re: [MBZ] Don't See This Every Day...

[Rich Thomas]

There is a Lebanese restaurant here in town, the owners have a big 
picture on the wall of Beirut in the 50s, some big square with lots of 
cars going around it taken from some tall building, and the father/owner 
is in that picture somewhere (he says -- apparently he was the wrestling 
champion of Lebanon at that time, and he was doing something official 
when the pic was taken).  Anyway, the thing I noted is that a bunch of 
the cars were Benzes like that one.  I talked to the guy about that, he 
said lots of the taxis and private cars were Benzes at that time, Beirut 
was a very wealthy destination city for Euro types and Middle 
Easterners, lots of entertainments not available in other places in 
the region. 

He lamented that the crazies had taken over, and was very sad for his 
country.
