geez what's the fuss about? I have a 280 se with a five speed... Good power curve I have to say. Is that long body that desirable then? I thought they just eat tires faster and are a ***** to park? Who ever takes their grandparents out for a ride nowadays anyway?

My 280 is for sale by the way. Runs good, needs front seal and some tightening up here and there

Congrats to the new owner of course, having a five speed is like not having to search anymore...

Dang, that sounds like a great car. It's too bad they didn't make the 560SEC with a manual. I'm looking for one right now, and the one thing I don't like is having to go to a slushbox. I just love a good manual transmission; even with the new dual-clutch transmissions and such that can match the equivalent manual-trans car with the best of drivers, there's just something right about fully controlling your own gearbox. Anyway, have fun with your truly unique (over here at least) ride. Hard to argue against a W126 with three pedals.

MERC Master is his user name. His last post on this thread is right above your first post. Click on his name and there will be options. Probably the easiest would be to email him.

I am going to let this car go open to reasonable offer,

It is a very good condition un molested example and SUPER RARE.
