considerable, however.
WRT the aftermarket variants, I would suggest only obtaining Ronals
10mm. Make sure to bring extensions and a hefty universal with you as
well. 1/2 drive is better, but 3/8 will work most of the time. Do not
forget the screwdriver and the 13 or 17mm for the solenoid connections.

Karl,
Yes the swap is possible, but the transition is rather painful if you
plan on doing it properly. Late last Fall I did such a conversion,
albeit a 4 speed manual, into a 1980 300td. It took over 50 hours in
labor with a fully outfitted shop. Costs were high on parts as the
owner wanted
For the record, all North American 300Ds had turbos starting in 1982.
In Europe you could still get the non-turbo variant. This EBay car is a
US spec car and for sure this is not the original motor. Caveat Emptor!

Fellow listers,
I have a client with a '76 450sl. In an attempt to improve performance
a bit, we are considering installing the tri-Y headers and downpipes
from a 500slc and fabricating a custom exhaust (or modified 500slc
exhaust) for the remainder. Both are m117 motors and as such I believe
This was done. I have a '77 300d (actually it is a '76 build date) that
was flown in after factory pickup with LTU. Car came with all the
papers including the bill of lading for the flight plus the European
delivery papers. Discriminating customers did not want their cars
exposed to the salt
Luthansa's budget carrier.

Kevin,
Things to check:
Check the fuse on the top of the OVP relay. It is a 10 amp ATC fuse.
This can cause hard starting when cold and explain the ABS light. It is
a silver box relay, located near the battery with a fuse (red) on the
top of it, iirc on a w124. Sometimes, the OVP will still
Have a client with a 1980 300sd with around 420k miles on it. Looking
at the car, it looks like it may have 150k on it. Quite clean. Car is
daily driven and does quite well. Black on black too!

Rich,
If the attachment goes through, here is the same car shot from another
angle. That (#18) is a w196. # 722 to the left is a 300slr (Mille
Miglia car driven by Moss w/ Jenkinson navigating) followed by a w165,
iirc. The car behind #36 (some sort of record car) is a w125 and that

Mike is 100% correct here. I have the literature to document this from
AMG back in the day. Also, AMG did have a North American operation
which closed down in the early 1990s. AMG also would sell body panels
for folks to have installed themselves. WRT the m110, where this
discussion began,

If you took the time to read through all of these, thank you. All
vehicles are being sold as is where is. Please feel free to contact me
with your inquiries. I have email access Monday through Friday during
business hours.

Hey Mat, is the 5 speed a ZF transmission or...?
No, it is the getrag box. If it were a ZF, I would not be selling it
and installing it in the w113.
Also, I'm puzzled - what good is the fanfare horn is they are
missiing??
Not
While it is a tough decision, I am looking at getting a very special
one-off C36. I have been after this car for a number of years and the
door of opportunity has opened. You could always have the 300Ds shipped
out to you. ;)
