No, IIRC, it's one of the most desirable years, before the 450 engine was de-tuned even more. Only the last years 560SL had more power. See: Road and Track Article 1994 Mercedes Benz 107 SL SLC Roadster (mb107.com) On Thu, May 25, 2023 at 11:01

No, the Cats were beside the head in the engine compartment in '75 and '76. They cooked everything there. The solution is to get exhaust manifolds from another model year and the associated front section of the exhaust pipe. On Thu, May 25, 2023 at 12:23 PM Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes <

I thought it looked to be in good shape and is really low miles, so I bid $1700 and am high bidder. Seller countered at $2k which would be about $2700 after fees. It does not say it runs, had a tow hook on the front so I assume no. Might be a hell of a deal, or might not. Sent from my iPhone

Well, the point was to reduce fuel consumption, and lower speed does indeed do that EXCEPT in some trucks with engine like screaming Jimmies where the RPM doesn’t match up well. Gotta remember that 70 mph speed limits were actually a fairly new thing in 1973, most two lanes were 65 or less (in
