Ever heard of a 240CD? I had one! It's a 300CD running on only 4 cylinders. If I'd had just a few more of the parts, I've long toyed with the idea of putting the 95D motor in one of my generators. (190D motor with one thrown rod, I'd take out the complementary one to keep it balanced.) --

A complete 190D 2.2 puts out 72HP, so half would GENERATE 36HP. I would think that would run a sizeable genset (not as big as Big Bertha though). Kevin in Hillsboro, OR 1983 300SD 267Kmi, Ursula ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list

10 liters? Maybe a 5 liter under the hood and one in the back seat? (chuckle) It does appear to be a non-USA market car. When we went to 17 digits, the VINs no longer began with the chassis number. Would WDB1260361A100119 be a 126.036? I thought .036 was the 500SE, and that's a SEL in the pics.

Hi all, Here is a reply from John Olson, SL Market Letter editor to my query concerning a purported 1000SEL on eBay. Take care, Chuck ~~ Daimler-Benz never built or sold a car called a 1000 SEL. In my opinion this offering should be pulled from E-bay, by E-bay,
