Read more than one horror story with regards to the 6.0, but think they might be the DOHC version of this engine, not the SOHC... I know that a few people with them lurk here, and am seeking their inputs.

I have one (SOHC) and it is.... thunderous

Especially at highway speeds. And no headaches of 32V heads. There's the M119 for that.

It's fun. Get one!

If it were that easy, I'd already have one.

Thinking about a certain 6L TE wagon, the uber-iWrock??

The black 6L TE wagon on eBay looks like it needs alot of love. Poorly photographed and being from the east coast would definitely require a diligent check for rust.

There is currently one for sale right now in a car I am interested in.

Hehehehehe.

Im currently wavering between a Porsche 911 GT3 (996) and a MB CLK63 Black Series, but this car also interests me. Just a weee bit scurred with regards to the health records I have read on various 6.0s...

Definitely an awesome car but the price tag is up there with the 32v's. Does the paint of the bumpers look suspect to anyone? Wood is cracked (But really rare), the rest of the interior is super stock.

I think closer to $20k would be fair? It is a rare bird after all.

If that silver widebody recently posted checks out, I'd hit it over the black wagon.

Black wagon had its lower end grenade, thus a replacement block. Shop that did the work??

Id rather a car touched by AMG and left that way.

 

[oisaj_dude]

^ Ah. I didn't read the description, those would be details worth looking into. Could very well have been done the right way but there is a chance that a stock 5.6 bottom end went in.

That car just really needs to be seen in person.

As much as I love W126 AMG's, I hear you loud and clear on a GT3..... (lust)

The ebay 300TE has a few differences to the C&D magazine article car it's purported to be, so I'd say this car needs to be checked in person.
