Given that this car is from the great north salt country, I'd expect that if rust is peeking out in these places, there's lots more....

Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely car, just needs a nice southern body shell to make it perfect.

That's why the price is too high.....

The euro M110 is very nice, I prefer it over all but the 560 engine. I've had 4 of them over the years (3 W123, 1 R107), still have two....

True its not perfect but its pretty clean. That engine will make that car scoot. They really don't weigh hardly any more than a 123. If I were in the market I would consider it.

The tranny should bolt right up to a 617.
