Remember (probably not) the 560SL from my Chicago trip?

Here’s a quick refresh: I was staying at a family friend’s house for my trip and they had this non running 560SL in their garage. Guess what? My uncle bought it.

Yes, the same crazy uncle who had a Diablo SV and is trying to LS swap a 1986 300ZX. He bought it for $1000 and for now he just changed the battery and wiped it down to remove all the dust. Here’s a picture of it now, cleaner and in his garage. More updates on his restoration project coming soon.

Good luck. Hope the engine is OK, a rebuild can be hilariously expensive. Although maybe good for a swap.

Change out those wheels, stat.

Seeing the going rate for these MB’s, you can get a good used engine for cheaper than repairing one.

The person who puts wires on a 107 also wears white leather shoes and a pastel blue polyester suit. Just sayin :)

Sniff... Is there something wrong with that?

And also, the engine is more or less fucked. It hasn’t ran for years.

Time for an AMG V12 or LS1 style swap?
