My New Toy
It's not a Mercedes but this group seems to be well equipped to appreciate fine examples of automotive history...
I should be bringing this beauty home sometime next week or the week after. It does mean that I'll be selling my 1967 Dodge Monaco (anyone interested?  )jlc

Paul,
Thanks for the thoughts. The car also comes with a trunk load (and then some) of spare parts. I believe that the brake servo is one of the items so if this is the iffy and difficult system, I may be all set. jlc

W126,
Yup, the Monaco is the "Magnum" version of the 383 a year or two before Chrysler started using that term. That means it's got a 4 barrel carb, dual exhaust, and 10:1 heads. I've got the timing slightly retarded to run on today's lower octane gas but it still moves nicely when fully tuned up (which I've just about completed doing). jlc
