Larry, thanks for the post. I am interested in a 320/500sl. My son says there are people there who will do the conversion, but Im a little leery of this since I read the regs about RIs etc. If we find a car that is US spec welland good, if not , I can look here.
The reason the 8cyl cars are so reasonably priced is the cost of fuel. Many people buy them to find that the cost of Insurance and fuel are a bigger part of their budget than projected. Thus lots available.
Some are quite low mileage.
Bottom line is, however that the manufacturers have the import regs so tied up that it is hardly worth doing unless you have a friend in the business.
Best Wishes
John Kennedy
