[W126 Coupe] off topic asking your opinion on used porschecarrera 4

[Sharan Bains]

I may be wrong, but as far as I read, only the SL/S/CL 65's have hand-built 
signed engines, which carry a plate on the air housing bearing the 
technician's signature.

SL/S/CL 55's and 600's are standard production cars. The 65's are built to 
order.


That's what I read. ....could be incorrect.
