I once looked at a '78 W116 350SE that was for sale. It had the four speed standard transmission with limited slip. It was scary fast, but the owner wanted too much money for a gray market car.

I of a lady that has a early 80s Mercedes 280SEL sedan. It has a manual shift transmission, manual windows, etc, but looks like a very upscale model. Definitely a Euro model.

560sel

when the new series of engines came out on the 126 bodies there was big difference in fuel injection.they changed to ke jetronic [like the 190s]that 500 that you are refering to prob had black valve covers instead of silver.now the real diff between us560 and euro560 was hp.but if you take the euro exhaust and fit it to a us560[keep the main cat]you can have 300+hp for cheap and still pass the emmissions test. david poole european performance dallas tx.2149567007.
