Thank you guys. I will look into the harness situation.

Just got an over the phone quote from a MB-indy shop of around $1800 for the head, (with no surprises). I have one other shop that will get back to me tomorrow. I intend on bringing it to them to get a real quote for everything. If the cost of the head job alone does not come down, and the wiring harness is gonzo, and I can't find one quickly for a reasonable price, I am afraid I will be letting it go.

Obviously I will not be bringing it to a dealership for trade in. I may bring it back to the guy who I bought it from 7 or 8 years ago. He only sells MB's and may give me something decent for it towards a trade. If not I will be sure to post it here for someone who can appreciate what it is. I live in Lee NH by the way.

I'm hoping for the best right now though. I have always known that I had a special car and was lucky for it. You know I have never seen another 1995 in person! Only 1994's. At least every time I have asked someone who had one that looked like mine the said it was a 1994. Pretty rare, at least around here.
