Hope to have it back from my mechanic in time for the MBCA June Jamboree at the Montvale headquarters...having a slight hydraulic issue.

A 6.3 liter V8. Measured using DIN it pulls about 300 hp and 434 lbs/ft of torque. But still not enough for such a heavy. 0-60mph in about 10 seconds. As slow as my 350 Bluetec.

It was a good learning experience, but in the end I changed my mind and sold her to buy another and go a different route. I learned a lot about this models suspension, wheels fitment and DIY customizing options.
Next is a MINT 1970 250, red wine, tanned leather, power steering, sunroof classic. This time I'm doing classic wheels (BBS RS?) and lower.

Here is a couple of photos recently sent to me from a fellow MBCA member. We were at an Autumn 2011 club drive in CT.
