And the M103 gasser seems to be just about as good as a 617....aside from being a gasser, and less low end torque.
I think we're going with a red 300E we found in Long Beach, the owner got in a slight rear end with it and it needs a new left headlight but other than that runs fine, same year as my old 300E too, an 86! We're going to call her again today, i'd be happy with this one. The A/C doesn't work, but she said she was told all it needs is freon.
