After a mere 175,000 miles, the head on my 1969 280SL is kaput. Have a very good mechanic working on it (used by several M-B club members), in Downers Grove (suburb w. of Chicago), and he tells me that it is beyond repair. Thus far, we haven't been able to locate a replacement. Thus, I need to source one in good to excellent condition, or find a magician out there who can repair it. I have had the car since September 1970, and have personally put over 160K miles on her. Nothing could cause me to give her up. However, in her non-running state, she's a major disappointment.
And, so, I am turning to all of you who may have a helpful suggestion as to where to source a replacement. Thanks in advance for your help. David
