CLASSIC AMG HELP ...1973 450slc AMG

[bluefang]

Thats one hell of a funny vid, V8 getting almost the same mileage as a car built JUST to get good mileage.

Will never get that good with the 107s but all i need is a damn good 5-6speed auto to bolt on and i ll be close =P 20mpg atm with MSII, but thats cruising on the highway at over 3000rpm doing about 70mph O.o

By the way i asked in the Vintage areas about early 450SLC engine bolt patterns, trying to get some info so that i can go to a automatic replacement/modification forums and see what they think would be feasible in replacing the 3speed slushy i have atm.

I thought u would be interested , Hurry up and get those lambo doors done, they seem a pretty easy job(i hope at least) that i can do while i research/save for the automatic lol.

Just imagine modding the lambo doors to be able to remote open them......

I known how you feel another ten years of rust. But they would of been fun. Or like one of my show buds said, $55,000.00 in restorations and he's thinking of getting it painted again.
