A $5,000 IP for a 6.3?!
Seems a little pricey, even for a 6.3.

I have a 1979 300Sd that I'm willing to sell for $20K too............
I'd as suprised if he gets that as I would be if I got it too.

Its fine once you understand DB's pricing structure for the M-100 engined cars. Take normal (read "rather high") spare part prices, multiply by a factor of 6.3 for the parts unique to the 6.3, then follow that same formula for the 6.9 model. Its when pricing 600 parts that this curve gets close to vertical.

Sad, but true. I have heard of Inj pumps costing large sums, but this is not the way to do it. If you need a perfect Inj pump, I would buy one used and have it professionally rebuilt, there are several good places to have them rebuilt for anywhere from $1500 to $2000.
It is similar to a miniature engine, really.

BTW, in general, the Inj pumps from this era are more bulletproof than even the most durable MBZ engine. I've never thought of completely rebuilding one.

Exactly. However, you probably could bolt it on and enjoy.
Anyway, it's much more expensive that a professionally rebuilt spare, which should run fine for the next fifty years.

He's looking for the maniac restorer who will not let cost stand in the way of perfection. It IS probably one of a very few in the world.

I wouldn't call this rare. There are many many out there to rebuild.
Now, if a part needed to be fabricated from the bare elements to be replaced, that I call rare. Sure there are not many 6.3 still on the roads in good shape, ans sure the parts are expensive as MBZ parts go, but these cars are not rare. There are very few post war benzs that are extremely rare to command absurd price tags on parts.
