Found a V12 theft recovery car. Ignoring possible damage to the engine from abuse, the interior is trashed. My only interest in the car would be the drive train.

How much of the engine & transmission control circuitry is in the passenger cabin, which has been severly abused.

The car is a W140 chassis?? with a M120.980 engine.. What year?

The 1992-95 cars will require all of the computers & UNDER-hood wiring.

Yep, a W140. All the under the hood stuff is intact. It's the passenger compartment that's trashed. Were the engine management computers under the seats by any chance? -CTH

I'm sure that I'm not the only one here who is now curious. That has to be some pretty severe interior abuse for you to wonder if the modules are under the seats.

Pictures, please!
