With the money you save on hotels it will pay for itself in just a few
decades.

Everything about that screams 1970s. I'd love the idea of it but would probably 
be a money pit and end up using it once or twice a year.

Price reduced, hoping to get this sold to a new owner who can give it 
the TLC it needs. Please note that while this is a running coach, it is 
also 45+ years old and mostly original and unrestored, so it will 
definitely need some work before hitting the road. (details below) I can

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

The GMC motorhomes were really well done for their time.

My Dad went from a 172 to a Beech V35 (fork-tailed doctor killer), and I got my 
private ticket (but I still smoked weed, but never before flying, of course.)

I like the V35 better than the GMC motorhome, but the motorhome is far cheaper 
to own/operate/maintain.

BUT one had to hope it never caught fire. The body was fibreglass and it

Now that I think about it, his car was "helios gelb" which is less orangey
and lighter shade of a canary yellow.  Went really well with green.

It was the "Jet Age" era... every new car had to have tail fins.
Can you imagine finding a NOS set of tail lights that would fit that,
during restoration?
I'll throw out an estimate of $2,000 each and bet I'm guessing low.

Re: [MBZ] These are cool

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

 Our neighbor in the mid 60’s, Mr. Gobin, had one. It was an oddity among the 
Fords and Chevys everyone else had. 
His second vehicle was a 1948 International Pickup. As a five year old I 
remember “Simonizing” one of the rear fenders on that beast and he paid me a 
dime. He then piled a few of us neighborhood kids in the back of the “Binder” 
(what he called the International), and took us to the Dairy Queen.

Yeah, I did all of those - the Visible V8, Visible Man, Visible Woman (!), etc. 
I really enjoyed researching the visible people ones and painting the organs 
the appropriate colors. Those were fun.

I know it’s not all finnies - there’s an SL and a couple of others, too, I 
believe. I haven’t had time to watch the whole thing yet.

I like when they come across the line in part of it and the SL has a busted 
headlight and the finnie has the left front fender nearly torn off. Wonder what 
they hit?

Cool, but you can get a super nice synchro VW Vanagon Westfalia camper

Re: [MBZ] CCVTYERTY Re: Cool old 280S

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Early M180 engines used two solex 2 barrel carbs, Primary and 
secondary.  Much better over the long haul than the zeniths.   no 
warping problems.

M120 engines used Solex

The BMW R90S used Del Orto accelerator pump carbs rather then Bings.  I 
always wanted to find a set cheap and try them on my R75/5.  I was never 
a fan of the Big vacuum carbs.  I tolerate them, but never been a fan.  
I AM a fan of the cable slide Bings used on older/smaller BMWs.  My 
R50/2 would ALWAYS start!  Magneto and cable slide Bings.


Never  been a fan of carters.   I can tolerate Holley 4 bbl.  They are 
fairly easy to tune.


Yep, I still dislike vergassers.  GIve me a good OM engine any day!

Diesel on!

Yes, naturally aspirated VWs used Solex carbs. Single barrel downdrafts.

Should be easy enough to find in der vaterland or  ebay.deThe 
Heckflosse guy in netherlands probably has a source too.   Alex G can 
probably steer you to some.   Oh! and Les Blumner is back in the 
country for a week or two.  He undoubtedly has connections somewhere 
in Europe and /or in the USA.  Any good MB restorer should have a 
connection somewhere.   There is a whole bunch of rabbits to chase. 
How 'bout calling pierre?


Not really.  This has the Euro manual system, which is stupidly 
simple and has no fancy electronics or other garbage to dink with.


This is a beautiful car.  The more i look at it the more I like it.

Jaime - how difficult is it to find the Euro plaid fabric?

[MBZ] OT A cool developing gadget

[Rich Thomas]

For those who have ifones (I just recently got one when my 8 or 10yo 
Palm Treo died, I was sad...) this would be really fun.  Kickstarter 
stuff has risks, but it could be fun.


I built a 3D camera rig and stereo viewer, and there is a Windows app I 
used to print the photos, that is fun for just looking at static pics, 
but this would kinda automate it.  If others had the viewers you could 
send them photos and videos.


--R


http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/935366406/poppy-turn-your-iphone-into-a-3d-camera-0

Poppy is the first device in the world that turns an iPhone into a 3D 
camera capable of capturing, viewing and sharing full-motion, full-color 
video and stills in 3D.


*How does it work?*

Poppy works with iPhone 4, 4S, iPhone 5 and the fifth generation iPod 
Touch.  You put your phone in and Poppy's mirrors capture two 
stereographic images using your iPhone's single camera.


When you look in the viewfinder, Poppy's lenses combine the two video 
streams into a single, crisp, 3D video. It's beautiful, and really hard 
to describe or show in two dimensions.


It doesn't need batteries and there are no electronics. It's just optics 
and your iPhone's camera and screen, so we can keep the price low 
without sacrificing quality.

Your car is dead, you need to sell it cheaply to me.

(Read: Yes.)

Start by unplugging monovalve and see if you get full heat.
Remove the insert and look for tears in the rubber.  Check
the screen for clogging.  Auxiliary water pump working?

Re: [MBZ] 91 350SDL cool heater

What temp does the engine run at? A stuck open thermostat will also prevent
lots of heat in the cabin, though it's probably the mono valve, as I suspect
that you keep a close eye on ALL the instruments.

[MBZ] OT but cool.............Every Chevrolet convertible since 1912

[Rusty Cullens]

 
WHAT A COLLECTION !
Top this one
Every Chevrolet convertible since 1912

Wow !  What do you suppose this collection is worth?

This collection belongs to Dennis Albaugh in Ankeny, Iowa,
   

   just north of Des Moines.

  The personal and private collection consists of 110 + Chevrolet 
convertibles... 
  all years from 1912 to 1975 and Corvette convertibles from 1953 to 
1975.

  That is a Chevy convertible from every year of manufacture EXCEPT 
1939...
  The reason? - Chevy didn't make a convertible in '39 -- and ended its 
convertible line in '75!

  His 'boy toys' include his own 18 hole golf course, copied somewhat 
after Augusta National.
  He is what you call a REAL Chevy guy, but his passion seems to be 
convertibles !

  This billionaire made his fortune selling farm chemicals ! 















  This is enough to make a grown man CRY 
  What a collection..gorgeous !!!  Enjoy the trip down memory 
lane.. 
 

  =

Re: [MBZ] Very, very cool. IMPRESSIVE!!!

[Barry Stark]

Ed -
Save your money it's been done. odometergears.com will sell you the gears
for $25 a copy and less if you buy more gears. Also the stock speedo gears,
if you have experienced them, are made of some really soft material so they
don't make noise. The odometergears folks have a new compound that is strong
but really quiet. They also have gears for Porsche and others. I guess there
must be a weakness for the single blade M/B windshield wiper gearbox as they
have a replacement gear for that too. Beware of odometergear.com (missing
the s). A lot more expensive and not as quiet. Excellent customer support!

Barry


You can use the plastic part for Proofing and then use a CC Machine
to produce the part Or use it to make a mold for casting the part.
I wonder how many Speedo gears I would have to sell to pay for that
set up. H'mm

The gears are $60 each (?). If the machines cost $10,000, then 167 to break
even, assuming supplies are free.

That plastic string is about $30-40 an ounce in quantity.
Some places will spin out prototypes on that rig for $80 an ounce or so.

There are a lot of speedo gears in an ounce, but I don't know if polycarb or ABS 
would be suitable for them or not.

[MBZ] heard a cool sound this morning

[Wonko the Sane]

When I left for work this morning, outside air temp was -8F. Because my
garage is insulated, the temp gauge in my 300E said +28F when I started the
car.

On my one mile drive to work, kept hearing this rapid snap, crackle  pop
from the car roof. Almost like someone was eating Rice Crispies up there.
The water droplets (garage must have actually been warmer than +28F) on my
car instantly freezing and expanding as I motored on down the snow-covered
highway.

Don't remember ever hearing anything like that before.

Re: [MBZ] this is cool, too bad I dont speak german

[Werner Fehlauer]

Jeff - the last shot is when the well-dressed gentleman pulls into a service 
place (like our old time gas stations) and is quizzed by the owner/mechanic 
as to what he might want - and when he exhausts the list of what the usual 
drive-in customer would want,  asks well, what did you come here for?
The driver responds that the children musst, which is the usual German way 
to say that they had to relieve themselves.  The mechanic sadly turns away 
muttering about the die kinder musst, and obviously discouraged that he 
wasn't going to make any money on this guy.  The facial expressions add a 
lot to it.

Re: [MBZ] Prom, was cool swap

[Christopher McCann]

Here here. I know lots of fams with many children (and
some with few children) and when they learn to obey,
be polite and think and speak coherently as early as
possible, they RARELY turn out to be problem
children...if ever. Being a Catholic, I cannot leave
out that they learn and practice their Faith early.
That doesn't mean you don't worry about them at times
and that they don't occasionally screw up, but that's
raising children.

I think Lt. Don is convinced I can't pay for my
children, which is funny, b/c he has never seen my
budget sheet or my tax return. Sure, a teenager might
want a Mustang. I wanted a 560SEL when I was in 7th
grade (or so - I'm 32)...did I get one? HELL NO!
Connie is the oldest of 9 and they were dirt poor
farmers...all the simblings are wonderful people, with
good jobs and real/decent lives.

Lt. Don must like getting me going on this, cuz he
keeps bringing it up. I'm tired of answering. If my
daughters are all drug addicts and whores in 20 years,
then I'll go weep on his 72 year old shoulder...but
till then, I'll just worry about being a good daddy.

out. Chris

Re: [MBZ] 1987 300SDL cool down

Any turbo diesel is going to have exhaust temps around 200-300 degrees 
at idle, up to 1000-1300 F at max power. I'm guessing around 500-600

going down the freeway in your 617. That's hot enough to coke dino
oil, but not M-1. When I pull off the freeway at a rest stop, I let
it idle for 30 seconds or so,

I find this also reduces the spike in water temperature.  If I come to a 
stop after a hard freeway run and immediately shut off the engine, the 
heat soak sometimes spikes the coolant temperature by 10 or 15 degrees 
C.  I've seen this on normally-aspirated engines in various cars, as 
well as in my 300D Turbo.

Re: [MBZ] 1987 300SDL cool down

[Christopher McCann]

I asked Marshall about this a while ago. cool downs
are for gas engines with turbos as they get much
hotter. Only on a long trip, hot weather, etc would a
little cool down be recommneded IF using dino oil. If
using synthetic (say Mobil 1 :-) ), it will never cook
off, so no cool downs necessary.

I am sure Marshall will correct this if I have
misrepresented what he said.

 Does he do a cool-down idle after highway runs, or
 does he pull into
 rest stops and just shut the engine off?  If he just
 shuts off and has
 been using dino oil, the bearings in the turbo are
 coked up and it
 won't spin at low engine rpms.
 
 WHAT? you're saying there must be a bit of a
 cool-down?...are you sure?...if 
 your sure, what is the cure for the 'coked-up'
 bearings?

Re: [MBZ] 1987 300SDL cool down

so...it may have nothing to do with my 300sdl?

Re: [MBZ] 1987 300SDL cool down

[shustew]

My manual (94S350) states 1 minuet cool down mandatory even if you are
working on it in the garage.  They spin at over 100k rpm  you want  to
remove lube  cooling oil.  Bad juju.

Well, perhaps Marshall's response was specific to my
300SD's OM617, the manual of which says NOTHING about
cool down. I actually stopped cooling down after
Marshall's advice, except in the few circumstances he
recommended it.
