[W126 Coupe] 560 SEC cracked engine block

[FPecar4525 at aol.com]

Yes, this is good advice.  
 
I have a #2 level 89 560SEC that had wonderful care it's entire existence  
in Southern California.  I'm keeping it original with the exception of some  
aftermarket rims.  I feel it would be a bad idea to do anything to ruin all 
 the hard work that the two previous owners went through to keep the car  
pristine.

The discussion of Chevy in a Mercedes is a good  one.
 
I have owned a 220S ChevroBenz, a low milage 1969 Impalla  327, my (111,000 
miles) Euro 500SEC and my current driver is a low  milage 1969 Chevrolet 
C10.
 
If you are a collector and/or enthusiast then keep the car  as original as 
possible.  If you just love the car and want reliability  then udate the 
vehicle with readily available, reasonably inexpensive and  relatively reliable 
mechanicals.   Be that  from Motown, Japan, Korea or ...
 
Every collector hates to see the pool of original vehicles  deminished but 
then again they love to see their example become more  scarce.
 
Do what best suits you and good  luck.
