    Swing arm, type of IRS, but there is not a joint at the rear wheel hub. The wheels are always perpendicular to the driveshafts.

      Swingarms are what early Volkswagens have. That's why they get negative camber out the arse when you slam them too.

      When the government pays, the government controls.

          I did too, but I thought I was drunk at that time.

            I would roll any if those Benz!

            The later model diesel actually get pretty damn good gas mileage, almost in the 40's.

              The last,600 I saw sold for a tad over 400k. I guess you can look at the bright side, you wont have to spend any extra to bag it since they come bagged from the factory.

                I would definitely spend that kind of money on one if i had it.

                  Only one I'd consider is a 6.9L . Those others look cool but I have a need for speed.

                    Lsx swaps are somewhat common.

                      Finally went and snapped a few shots of the 2 I know of. I like the blue one, red one, not so much.

                            Thanks for grabbing picts man, I appreciate it. That blue one doesnt look terrible, just a big rough around the edges. Im stuck on the S models that got the quad headlamps. I dont know why, but the single lamp just doesnt do it for me.

                            Would be a pimp LeMons candidate, except that he wants way too much for it.

                              The best thing about that red one is that they removed those full-width bumpers front/rear, and left the bumperettes. That's a cool touch, didn't realize you could do that. Now, what he did with those cheezy 1986 ground effects is a little weird, but swapping in some nice subtle looking roll pans would really make that look good.

                              I'd offer $800 for both. It looks like they've been sitting there a long LONG time. Then at the very least you'd have enough parts to get a project started.

                                I dont want anything close to that kind of project. I guess just swapping the front clip from the red car to the blue one would get me closer to what I want. Then I could put the blue clip on the red one and go race...
