Hi. I am new to this forum. I am looking at buying a 1969 280SE Coupe. The engine seized while being driven and it will need a new engine or rebuild. I have found a few sources for the parts to rebuild, but I would like to find a few sources for a used engine as it will be quicker to change the engine and drive the car while I undertake the rebuild in the future. Can anyone help for potential sources?? I am located in CT.
Thanks.

I have a buddy (a pro, not a backyard guy like me) in MD with a concours, freshly built engine for you ready to bolt in... is not cheap, but is likely cheaper than buying a spare engine, properly rebuilding yours, then swapping it in... PM me if you're interested.

Take a look at the restoration story of a 280 SE 3.5 convertible at www.mbca.org/ STAR ARTICLES/ Jan/Feb. Beautiful example of a convertible restoration.  |
