The same engine as the 86-87 SDL; 6cyl. 3.0 litre. Great engine. Is there a turbo in there? I would love that engine and tranny in an early 80's G-Wagen.

VERY interesting car. If it has a turbo with the manual tranny it could be a real sweetheart.

BUT! salvage title screws the pooch. Repaint and salvage title followed by this type of sale (probably traded-in to this used car dealer who can claim ignorance as to condition) means that something serious probably happened to the car (bent frame?). Combine that scenario with new tranny and this deal starts smelling pretty bad.

There is always the chance that a good deal can be had here - but with all those factors lining up it does not look good.
