[MBZ] I fit! (Sorta)

Dropped in n my buddy Todd’s shop to leave off the swap E350 that refuses to start. Was cranking but not firing, now not cranking after some fooling around He has a couple Lambos in the shop, one getting an upgrade to 1650hp with huge turbos, etc. it will be a monster. --FT Sent from

Very. You can get a 10 year newer Bluetec E250 sedan for about the same price. On Fri, Oct 27, 2023 at 4:28 PM Allan Streib via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Sunroof inoperable and a few other small issues but looks overall nice. > That's quite a price, is it not? How rare are the

For what it's worth, the latest Hagerty Owner’s Club magazine is themed as the “patina” edition. It’s 2-3 page articles on owners who have old cars that they drive regularly but have not been restored. It’s actually pretty cool, there are some really interesting cars and many of them look like

Re: [MBZ] Looks solid and complete -- project 1957 Mercedes 190, $1, 500

I would be more in it to make an old car nice as a driver, and correct-looking but not necessarily original. Not interested in concours-level perfection or the costs of that, or doing restoratations at a profit (Leno says if you're making money restoring cars, you are doing it wrong). Just

To opine on this a bit, I’ve done complete, chassis-off restorations on a few cars, and more “cosmetic” restorations than I care to recall. I am not retired - yet. If you’re serious about a major restoration, do your due diligence upfront if possible. It will save you some major headaches.

While I would never own a Mercedes hybrid short of someone gifting me one, the concept does work well in my opinion. I've driven several midsize Ford hybrids for several weeks at a time and found them to be very efficient. For a “Point A to Point B” sort of car, I could see it, just not a

Oh -- re-reading what you wrote, you were talking about storing the batteries themselves. Yeah they need to be charged to 70-80% and kept from freezing. For long term storage they might need some kind of battery-minder attached? On Fri, Oct 27, 2023, at 11:59, Allan Streib via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] Looks solid and complete -- project 1957 Mercedes 190, $1, 500

Yeah old cars are money pits to put right, but I'd be sorely tempted if that were close. It's a weakness. When I retire and am done sending my money to colleges I hope to be able to restore one or two but the project backlog is already large so we'll wait and see. On Fri, Oct 27, 2023, at

As I understand it, they store pretty well but ideally they are at about 70-80% charge for storage, not full charge. And you can't let them freeze. I think they will keep themselves warm if needed but that uses power. So if you have winter, you need a garage, and maybe a heated one at that, or

Re: [MBZ] Looks solid and complete -- project 1957 Mercedes 190, $1, 500

$10k minimum DIY to make it whole. That doesn’t include paint and body, just mechanicals and interior. And many hundreds of hours of time. Not the ideal Floyd car unless he’s looking for a lawn ornament. -D > On Oct 27, 2023, at 12:44 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > Close by? You

There’s a guy in Orlando on FBM who sells a lot of parts, and he had a brand new, still-in-the-crate, OE batteries for one of these a while back. I think he wanted $3k-$4k for it, something like that. If it was NOS, I wonder how well those things handle being stored. -D > On Oct 27, 2023, at

If it's a hybrid will it still (possibly) be able to run on the petrol engine or do they require a working battery pack to run at all? On Fri, Oct 27, 2023, at 08:32, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes wrote: > I recall seeing somewhere that the batteries for these things are $40k.  > If it's bricked

Some good looking parts - uncracked dash, interior panels. Hard to decide whether it makes more sense to restore v. parting it out. On Fri, Oct 27, 2023 at 11:41 AM dan penoff.com via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > < >
