Saw a 72 230 4 cyl GAS engined sedan and it was nearly whole. The thing that caught my eye is the belt driven vacuum pump mounted on the engine. I have looked under a lot of hoods and never seen a belt driven vacuum pump before. Also, the Euro 81 280SEL has a smog pump stacked on top of the AC compressor. The AC compressor was a rotary type, similar to the ones on later 300E, etc. It also had ABS, the earliest model I, personally, have ever seen. I know the 6.9s had them from 77 but US legal cars are rare with ABS. Any interest, send me an Email.
