Dieselvolk,
Checked out the gasser car tonight. Turns out to be a 1981 280SE, with
cloth seats (manual adjustment), five speed transmission. Mileage is
unknown; odometer stopped at 105k miles long ago. No cruise control.
Lots of problems beyond the electrical issue. Belt for AC

I might want the tranny if you ever part it out. Heck, everybody
might want the tranny.

Christ, you'd better. That motor is practically done. 5-speed or no, the car
is toast.

Marshall,
Thanks for the info. I know remember that the 'E' means fuel injection
on this car - my Dad taught me that once but it was pushed deep into the
memory banks by all the 'D' information I've been gathering.
How will I be able to tell if this engine is a Euro engine

Dieselvolk,
In my desperate current desparate state (no AC in my wagon) I'm considering
the purchase of subject named automobile. Price is right, lady is selling
it due to an electrical problem, description of condition indicates a decent

OK, parly answere my own question, 123.033 was available at dealerships if
the MBUSA EPC is correct, with M110.984 engine. Looks like it was
carburated.
However, EPC does not indicate that a manual transmission was available, so
this car still may be a euro.

This car is a Euro car unless someone converted it after the fact. Should
it still be in true Euro form, this will be a very nice machine. I have
always wanted one of these w/ a 5 speed. Of course it should be injected
being an E. For reference, my 280slc with 4 speed manual gets about 22-23
