91 300SL partial dismantle. Located NE USA

Built 5 - 91 Interior code 274 ( orangy tan / brown )

3.0 24 Valve engine , 722.3 hyd shift 5 speed trans

102,000 miles

I bought this to turn into a track day but still street legal race car. Items to be sold are interior parts, engine and trans. No body, suspension, or brake parts will be sold. ( All 4 wheels are bent. )

Interior had some good and bad spots, let me know what you are looking for. Soft top fabric isn't worth removing for install on another car.

The factory amp is in the trunk ( not hooked up ) , aftermarket radio / cd in the dash. If I can come up with a wiring diagram I can test the amp.

Engine is 3.0 DOHC 24 Valve with CIS KE jet injection. This motor was used only in the SL and possibly one other high end model. Mechanically the engine is fine but intermittently it suffers from a fuel / electrical fault. Sometimes it runs clock work smooth, other times it will have a rough idle / poor power when trying to drive. I'd have to dig for my paperwork to be sure, but compression was even and was around 165 / 170 PSI. Oil pressure at 600 - 700 RPM idle was 1.5 to 2 bar after running 45 minutes, oil is thin ish. Engine to be sold less mount brackets, starter, alternator and maybe a couple of other odd bits.

Trans is a 722.3 hydraulic shift 5 speed, it has weak reverse so I'd consider it a rebuildable core.


I will trade + / - $ for:

Black interior parts ( mostly 96 and up )

Factory tool kit

Windshield ( no stone chips / sand pits )

Trans cross member / mount for 722.6 electronic shift 5 speed

97 SL320 engine computer Bosch ME 2.1 ( 97 was first year for ME 2.1 it has 5 or 6 plugs )

AMG Monoblock 18" x 9" wheels ( thick 5 spoke ) used on the rear of 97-8 Sport SL, 98-02 ish E55 210 401 02 02 ( the 129 401 01 02 front wheel looks the same but is 8" wide )

Stuff that fits my 97 SL 320

Other car - machinery stuff / LCR22 / ?

UPDATE ON ENGINE CONDITION.

I fixed the engine running / low power issue. The plunger on the CIS distributor was gummed up with old fuel. Removing the dist and spraying with carb cleaner did the trick. A couple of the injectors likely have poor spray patterns due to old fuel but the engine is mechanically sound.
