hey there, my 1985 190E 2.3-16 "gray market" will now be on the market. I have about 3,000$ invested into the car and i have redone the lower end of the motor. the entire engine and car have been cleaned very well. unfortunately when i put it back together i didnt do a valve job. couldn't figure out why it wasnt starting so i took it to the mechanic. he thought either the valves were off, the cams were bent or the timing chain was put on wrong (least likely). it has new pistons, rings, seals, lots of new hardware. it had been garaged most of its life so it is in "good" condition. two dents and some peck marks where the previous (2nd) owner of the car repeatedly hit it with the door of his other car while getting out. the first owner of the car brought it over from germany back in 1985, obviously the US detuned the car. so he spent around 5K in labor and parts to get his euro exhaust and computer put back into the car. as you all know these cars are VERY rare and i wanted to rebuild it but, i just bought a 2003 E500... anyway i have about $3,000 in the car. happy to answer any ?s btw vin # WDB2010341F132952.
