[W126 Coupe] Gemballa 560 SEC

[Jonathan]

The fellow selling the car (kyle) does post here and on BW from time to 
time...he's always bringing in far out/rare 560's from the UAE.  I went 
to look @ his silver wide body a few years ago up in DC.  He sent me 
photo's of this car a couple of weeks ago as well.
If I understood him correctly he spoke to Gemballa about the car..I'm 
curious to see how they could manage to pull 6.9 out of a 117...I 
suppose w/ a stroker crank, sleeved internals w/ a 102/103mm bore one 
Might be able to get up that high..  Either way, it would look bone 
stock on the outside.  Ideally, were I looking @ a car such as this I'd 
like to see the dyno chart etc..
