Holy cow! If it weren't 1200 miles away I would jump on that.
Nice find.

I wonder whats wrong with it, other than the missing key interlock for the ignition.

Also missing the 6.9 trunk badge.. no engine pics. Can't see if there is the hydro adjustment wheel

Hmmm, I don't think this is gonna be a 6.9. It doesn't have the 6.9 specific US bumpers, but instead the standard issue W116 ones. Also, don't the US version 6.9's also have rear headrest, this one doesn't have those either. Wish it were a 6.9 I'd buy it. for sure.

VIN shows it not to be a 6.9

and I pass.. If I am going to buy a w116 it will be a 6.9

That 2-tone 91 Caprice Classic looks mighty tempting :)

What kinda JAMF wheels are those on there? Geez...

Just as I figured from the pictures.

VIN
 

Hanno is right. 116033 is a 4.5. 6.9 is 116036. Too bad but I'd buy it just for the chassis. Swap my 6.9-specific parts over to get rid of the rust. Might be a job but rust is the death knell ---especially in my part of the country.:(

The $600.00 doesn't go far when the rust has come to visit.

I sent the place an e-mail last night. Maybe he changed the listing, maybe not.

It's a parts car no matter what.

I sent thefollowing message to them:

Just an FYI:

The vehicle is just a standard 450SEL 4.5, not a 6.9.

A 6.9 has the self leveling suspension, with a push pull knob on the dash above the steering wheel. The 6.9 also has upgraded “burl” woodwork. Lastly, the 6.9 has different bumpers, and most have rear headrests.

Yep, pretty much what I previously said in an earlier post.

At any rate, it seemed to work, they changed their ad. Have to respect them for that!

6.9?
 

I seriously doubt that it's a 6.9.
