I purchased a '67 W111 Coupe with 4 on the floor and electric sunroof, and an in tact cognac leather interior, on the super cheap, because it needed an engine. I could have easily rebuilt the original, because it had a spun crank bearing. But there was a W108 in the local wrecking yard with a 280SE. They wanted $500 for the complete, ready to drop in and fire up, engine. So that's what I did. I kept the 280's tall engine oil cooler, and made a couple brackets that mounted it off to the side of the radiator fan blades. The car ran perfect, looked correct, and had all sorts of power. When it was done and ready to sell, the buyer was stoked to have the 280 engine in it.
