The 300 line of cars were all fuel injected. You should find a intake pipe with a throttle at the end of it with lots of pipes for fuel and linkages to control things.

These are unibody cars. Floors and rockers are the structural strength of the car (along with the roof and transmission tunnel).

You describe a car that needs like 200 hours or more of work to make it water tight and look like it was worth spending thta money.

However, they are indeed rare birds, worth keeping around when salvagable and worth passing on as a parts car when they are past the point of no return.

If you're paying somebody to do the body restoration, it's not worth it. If you friend welds and knows how to deal with an old car, then it's a worthy thing to resurrect a vintage benz.
