uhh.. more like 300SD.......

It's a LWB 116 so it's technically an SDL.

That would be a fabulous vehicle to own, but, the risk of a poor conversion...............

Price is a bit steep as well..........

But it says professional conversion. Someone makes a living converting 450SELs to 300SDLs. How can you go wrong?

Maybe you ought to take a ride over there............and see how "professional" it is..........might be worth $10K if it's truly exceptional.

I change the oil a lot in my car.. Does that make me a pro?

Only if you make the claim in a journal of authority like eBay or craigslist.

So, did the magnetic pull of such a vehicle draw you over for a visit??

Too far from San Jose. Besides, I prefer my MBs to have battle scars

? That doesn't look like a 603 under the hood, the valve cover is wrong.

He put a 617 in it.

Looks high in front. Either the 617 is that much lighter than the 117 or he got springs from Brian's supplier

Seems like a real professional would have used 300SD springs or somehow correct the ride height.

Is that 57000 on the engine or the body? used engine, or joe cool back yard over haul, or Metric motors?
Craigs list is always so vague in their descriptions and pictures. at least E-Bay lays it on a little thicker.
SF Bay area from here is about 60 - 70 miles. not that far, would take a look if my bullet proof model hadn`t bit the bullet temporarly. today with the fuel prices not doing much runing around.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Santa Maria is 220 miles from San Jose.
