5 speed for OM617 : auction alert - llopness - 01-03-2015
just found this on the Copart website.

What make you think is a 5 speed ? It could be a 4 speed

They didn't make that car w/ a 5 speed unless someone performed one of those g265 swaps

Simple google search of the vin shows this car was for sale before the wreck. Very nice looking car, but a 4 speed.

I'm quite certain they did make the 280SL with a 5 speed, although in retrospect not necessarily that year. most of the ones I've seen have been 83 or 84.
Sorry folks

Mark Turnbull in UK made a swap kit, his site seems to be down. It was to swap g256 into a w113, they are out there if you are looking.
