keiser31 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Want to buy 1935 Mercedes 540K engine to put into a convertible coupe restoration. Would like it to be as original as is possible. Would prefer to find one near or in Michigan, but at this point I cannot be picky. Please contact me through this forum, or at (541)535-1890 or via email at keiser31@charter.netThanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 The 540k wasn't introduced until mid-1936. 1935 would be 500k which is very similar.You are kidding about finding one near Michigan, right? I've never seen a single 500k or 540k on it's own. Your best bet would be Germany and if you can get it for less then 100k I wold be impressed.A.J.

keiser31 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 It is not my car so yes, it could be a 500K and the owner will pay up for the correct engine. There were two living in San Diego a few years ago, so yes, there are some in the U.S.A. and yes, he will get it from Germany if he has to.

keiser31 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 I was hoping that this forum would bring out someone who may know of an engine like this for a very serious buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I see you are in Oregon. Get a hold of Jim Friswold 1-503-639-1158 in Tigard. If he can't find you an engine then there are none to be found.good luck.A.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
