hi everyone! i just bought a 1981 280ce convertible, i think it was built by coach. no nothing about 6cyl w123s. runs alittle off and seems to be horrible on gas. the wife wanted a convetible that she could drive the kids so i bought it. doors open and close perfect and it has 100k only a few rust spots but mostly solid.

The first thing I would do is do a full tune up if it hasnt already been done.
-Plugs -Rotor /Dis Cap -Air filter -Leads Really would depend on what the history of the car has been. |

Wow, that's a cool conversion! Please post more pics when you get a chance!!
I would also do a full tune up. If that doesn't improve things, do a baseline fuel pressure check.

I've got a '78, if '81 is also non overdrive don't expect good mpgs. Mine seems to be pretty marginal like 15 or so.

Not my area of expertise. Sorry. I just know that a 280CE isn't easy on gas, but as cool as it makes me feel I look, it's worth it.
