[QUOTE=Jim B.;2590438]They are the fastest stock engine in the beloved 123 body style engine that was ever sold in the USA, but their carbs were troublesome.


Jim,

That's because they didn't have any!

The USA version was a real dog. Lower compression, 135 HP, loves to slurp gas. Once you drive a grey market 185hp M110 engine, you'll never want to own a USA version.

Whilst the diesel cars still hold a premium, the gas engined cars are real dogs on the market currently.

Overall, gas engined MB sedans are the least valuable combination. Your car's value lies in it's emotional attachment, and there's no way to put a value on that for you, but certainly a buyer would not attach any additional value.

Given the description, I'd guess $2-3.5K, IF you could find someone who really wanted the car.

Jim
