W112 Sedan

So it has been a good long while since I've poked around here. Life has an interesting way of taking you down a challenging road medically speaking.

Guess I need to update my avatar.

I don't see a forum area specifically for CARS WANTED so I thought I would put a feeler out here and see where it ends up being moved to.

I am on the hunt for a 112 300SE sedan PROJECT CAR
SWB or LWB. (Prefer short wheelbase)
Engine or not (I have an M189 and have been collecting distributor caps)
Must have all interior & exterior trim present
Sunroof?
Manual gearbox?

Will travel

Thanks to anyone of help!

Tom

Thought I found one, but it was FAKE

I had been trying to find time to go see a 1963 300SE on craigslist in Los Angeles. Just got back. First I was horrified because I realized that not only was the M189 engine tossed, but so was the MANUAL transmission. And all of the air suspension. It wasn't until I got home that I became less horrified. See pics, in particular the last pic. (This car has good original horns, isn't rusty, and is otherwise a complete disaster).

It is missing quarter panel trim, the "300SE" emblem is bogus for a '63, and the placement of the "300SE/AUTOMATIC" emblems is wrong.

Thanks, for passing that along!
I just bought a Euro 6.9, #625 instead of a 112.

It has nothing that is W112. Except someone stuck the C-pillar vents on. It was a 220S that got bastardized. Which is better than bastardizing a 300SE.

You bought a 6.9 instead? Quite a change of direction. Have fun with it and check out the w116.org group.
