Noted. I don't want to hijack this thread, but I think I am going to look for K-jets 1977 to 1980 -1977 would be optimal (lacking the Chrysler climate control) or Euro 280 or 500SLs. If it were my choice it would be a 280SL stick, but the wife has to have an auto ...

I passed up a '73 450SL stick a few years ago...if only...
