I figure each car is worth $150 by weight, then there are the numerous W107 specific parts to sell on ebay. Never know, the early car may be salvagable, but then I'm a sucker for old Benzes. I've got a more or less complete 85 380SL with a locked engine. That Chevy conversion might be just the ticket...... Maybe in more ways than one.

The small block is interesting, as there is a good market for a SBC and a turbo hydramatic. Had a 4bbl on it.

Of course, when I figure the amount of time I need to invest in this, and what that hour is worth at work.... But then I can't drink at work.

I'll tender an offer, but I'm inclined to go low....
