Wow, what a color! You wouldn't miss that car coming. I hope he doesn't part it out.

Anyone notice the air cleaner hose is pointed straight forward (not attached to the intake port)? When you put Euro lights on a 300SD it blocks the intake port so you have to reroute the intake hose. I just discovered this when I installed Euro lights on my 1979 300SD.

One thing is for sure on the stock W116....the passenger headlight gets excellent air cooling!

Looks more like two 6 V batteries in a series. Fork truck batteries?

Looks like a standard battery to me. Only 2 posts. I wonder what 'lower bearings' are compared to 'upper bearings'?? Nice looking but quite expensive for a car with the engine gone south. I'd replace the engine instead of parting it.

I am in complete agreement. Way too nice looking to part out. If it were me, i would buy a rusty northern turbodiesel, or an accident car for a donor engine.
Lower bearings = mains??
uppers being rods, maybe?? LOL! They are uppers 50% of the time.
