I didn't take any others. This blue car the guy bought in 1989 a year
old and had DDed it until the engine had its issue, so he kept it in
half decent shape. The maroon car is the turd, somewhat trashed but has
the supposedly good engine. We're going to get it shortly.

So Max and I went and loaded up the more decent 420SEL that has the hole punched in the
valve cover, I am thinking Kleb's explanation of the chain jumped the sprocket due to
failure of tensioner/guide is probably what happened. I guess that engine is trashed. I
got it unloaded from my trailer into the barn with minimal drama, we'll get load the turd
with the "good" engine tomorrow. This one does not have a key, it got burned
up when the PO's trailer caught fire, so I guess I can't try to spin it for now.
This car is not half bad. So now I have one with a bad engine (420) and bad
tranny (300) that are both fairly decent cars. Now I need to find a 300SEL
with a bad motor and good tranny I can get for cheepcheep.
