I have seen him say that they can do it but what can they do?

Engine pictures, a front exterior shot, a few interior shots. Always covered at night/when not in use.

I purchased this car unseen over eBay.The seller forgot to mention that 40 years ago, the vehicle barely a week out of the showroom was stolen from the first owner, a doctor in San Francisco.It has Replacement Identification Numbers from the State of California. It was purchased by the California Police Department and used by them for almost 40 years, before finding a middleman and then me. A bit of a hassle to register in Kentucky, but that's another story (and ongoing).

97,000 miles when I purchased the car (104,000 now)
Silver and black leather look great for a 40 year old car
NO rust, at all.
New fluids, belts, air filter.
Could use new Bilsteins in a year or two.
Super smooth power delivery and ride.
I need to clean the window regulators and sunroof motor, as well as tint the windows and replace all the doors + windshield seals.
Other than that, a great, solid Mercedes.
The mechanics at the local Tafel dealership love this car = the kind of cars cast from steel.
Background: I sold a 2006 Subaru STi with suspension & some performance mods = my 4 y.o. likes riding faster in the old car, but loves the Chitty Chitty Growl Growl of this car.

I'd love to figure in a replacement turbo in the future (Holset, other), a straight 3"/3.5" exhaust, a Myna/Black Smoke Racing Injection Pump, massive US bumpers delete, speed-friendlier tires/wheels, may be an air suspension setup. Interior-wise, the only things i'd ever consider doing is add sound dampening, add nicer carpeting and redo the door cards in black ostrich leather.
