@polishadonisYou are correct.
@Sergeysorry but I have plans tomorrow morning. If you live in the area I’d be happy to meet and show the car later in the day.
As far as I can recall the 300CE and the R129 300SL that were manual came with a getrag dogleg trans. The cosworth 190e and the Evolution also came with a dogleg getrag trans but were more desirable because of the torque capacity. Strange that the CE is not equipped with a dogleg trans. The 300CE with a manual trans was not offered in the US if I’m not mistaken. The SL300 was offered in the US with a manual trans but is quite rare. @Merc2000 Your car looks great and wish you all the best with the sale!
@IlovebigtoysBoth batteries (Duracell) and alternator (Bosch) were replaced last year.
Let me start by saying the suspension work and the split cooling was done by euro works in Tampa, PLM heat exchanger, VRP under hood tank, VRP secondary heat exchanger and VRP superflo cooling pump. All front control arms and ball joints were replaced around 100k miles/ January 2022. Crank shaft pulley replaced April of 2022. BS motor mounts done March 2022. The car has zero leaks as all VCG and rear main seal were replace when the mods were done. Hellcat TB and harness, supercharger oil, supercharger upper housing gasket, supercharger gasket, lower intake gasket, snout gasket, surge tank gasket, bypass valve rubber seal and gasket, vacuum line plug behind supercharger, looped fuel rail, fuel tampener valve, intake manifold gasket, TB seal, one step colder plugs, SAI gasket, crank vent valve, breather and vent filter, manifold studs replaced, oil cooler seals, MAP sensor. Vtech tune. I would say the car make around 550 whp. It has not been on a dyno. It was my daily and need it to be fun yet reliable. I’m sure I could easily throw a smaller pulley with the supporting mods but I don’t need it. The car has always been a southern car and has no rust. I’m the 3rd owner if I’m not mistaken. It spent most of its life in Hiltonhead, the second owner was a financial person at Mercedes in Columbia SC if my memory is accurate. All of the mods were done when the car was in my possession. The air suspension does not leak. The car has been lowered using star. All pictures show the car in the lowest setting. The instruments were not replaced. I will comment again just in case I missed something.
Thanks to all the bidders!
@charliegerHead gasket was replaced at 138,861 miles. I do not have any documentation on the wiring harness.
@benzerI have only the receipts for the parts installed.
@J4177The swap was completed November 3rd 2019, the car had 163,xxx miles on the odometer at the time of completion, the trans is from a euro spec 300ce-24 m104 980 engine, 717.450 getrag dogleg. The same trans used in the r129 SL300 in the US. There are other transmissions that will work but wanted to be sure I sourced a trans that I would not have to replace because of weakness. The flywheel is dual mass, both the trans and the flywheel were sourced from rennsport factory in the UK. Shifter bushings, both pilot and release bearings are new so there is no slop in the shifter, transmission fluid was also replaced at the time of the swap. Unfortunate I was unable to source the oem dogleg shift knob and boot which is rare so the shift pattern on the knob does not indicate it’s a dogleg. The driveshaft had to be lengthen and the car was down for about a year because I wanted the swap done right. The swap was not done by me but by a friend of mine that’s a well accomplished tech and has worked on all of my cars.
Unfortunately the car was purchased with the dent in the hood. I have not attempted to fix it.
@mji1984 It is so much more enjoyable. My biggest concern was swapping the wrong transmission. I initially purchased slk 717.460 trans only to find out the M104 has too much torque. Doglegs aren’t readily available in the US so had to source the transmission from the UK.
@benzer No accidents recorded on the car. The paint is in good condition and absolutely no rust. The car has spent all of its life in the wormer parts of the U.S.
@Jeb105The trans is from a 300CE, 717.450. This transmission was also available in the R129 300SL. 1 of 2 gtrag transmissions available from Mercedes at the time.
