A knucklehead down the street bought a 1953 MB 300C Adenauer and, rather than repair the drive train, dumped it and stuck a 350 Pontiac drive train into it. He ripped out the tranny linkage, cut a hole in the floor and that's where the tranny shift is.
Now he wants to sell it because, guess what? he's out of money.
I'd never drive this car with a GM engine, so....looking at my options:
-- Find an M189 drive train and put it in (VERY EXPENSIVE)
-- Replace with a more common MB inline 6 or V8 having at least 175 HP to power this big ol' car Maybe a 250 or 280 power train?
-- Leave as is
-- Pass it up.
Opinions please.
He hasn't even decided what he wants for it.
I am also thinking about letting him keep the Pontiac drive train and cut the price.
This is a strange situation.
