Difference in California Model?
 
How much difference is there between a regular North American model and a California model? 1991 SL in particular

Emissions equipment for starters.

The actual factory window sticker even states "$30 charge for California Emissions testing"

Some 1991 models you couldn't even BUY at ALL in California. Such as the 350SD and 350SDL

The factory sales brochure for that year doesn't mention any differences between California and 49 state SL models for 1991.

The engines, the 300SL 228 hp and the 322 hp four cam 32-valve 500SL V8 are both good reliable engines for the R129 Panzerwagens, but most buyers went for the the 500.

It's engine was better suited for a heavy cruiser like that.

Geez
Californians can't even buy the car they want
All the hassle we got to go through to clean up the state

Yet you have a
"Oooops I did it again"

Bald, pantiless, lobotomistic pathetic creature
running around without a valid drivers license banging up our Mercedes.....

As they say $$$$ talks
I think the pink wigged moron should keep her mouth shut
Even a a $20 bill has a higher IQ
