A Chevy 502 crate engine is so much cheaper and would really perk a MB W109 up.

OMG- that made my leg hairs stand up!

My favorite movie presentation of the 600 was in the "Witches of Eastwick" Here is the ol' girl at full trot:

Neat, that will fit perfectly in the W100 I have sitting out back. Oh wait ... no ... that's a 1993 Dodge Caravan out there ... nevermind.

Cool stuff ... I love the 600 ... one of the stateliest cars ever made.

Huge fun, huge thirst, huge bills, huge image, huge pedigree, huge panache, huge presence.

Very, very expensive to keep one up.
