Seller's comments about 1980' Mercedes-Benz 560SEC
With the sleek body raised a couple of feet higher than the road-going version, it looks a little ungainly at first, but a turn of the key and it’s clearly a true competition car and not some wacky monster truck. The sound of the big V8 blowing through the silencer-free exhaust is just glorious, but so low-revving on idle that it seems lazy, more like an American truck than a performance car. The M117 V8 is either a 5.0 or a 5.6, it’s not so easy to tell from the outside, and is mated to a three-speed automatic that began its life in a 6.3L 450 SL. The axles are a pair of heavily reinforced G-Wagen units, and because it was built to go massive distances in the wilderness, this car has a huge 200L fuel tank where the rear seats would be in a road car. mail L{censored}
