I just think about all of the 1975 450SLs I've looked at that had roasted fuel
lines, D-Jet issues, etc.
When I was considering buying one a few years back, I can't count the number of
1975 models I saw - tons of them. They were almost all roasted under the hood
from the cats.

Neat article. I bought a Bosch front loader back in 2000 and never had any

I will say it's been about a week since I installed my little CPU fan
arrangement and the washer has been smelling just fine.
I forgot about a load of laundry in it overnight, which almost guaranteed
skunkyness, and amazingly enough - none.

Northern Tools has some awesome sales on space heaters. I like the
convenience of propane and will only be heating the garage to keep my
heirloom tomato seedlings toasty during their vulnerable time. Any
recommendations?

Actually, I worked for the Generator Division. Even smaller plant than the

I used my signed personal copy of John's book to do my research when I was
looking at these cars. For some reason, there are just tons of 75s and 76s
around this area. I'll bet there are a few on CL in Tampa right now.
Nearly every one I looked at would have needed all of the engine

Best I ever got on the 280 SE 4.5 was 17 on the highway, typically
in
town it was 14 at best, as low as 11
Just like my '73 450SE. Of course, gas was a wee bit cheaper in the

When mine was new, regular was often 21 cents per gallon, and I could
fill up my Olds 88 for $4.
Now I get dinged for $60 a week if I'm lucky and don't drive the TE.
