My parts van (obligatory Vanagon content) is stored in an abandoned gas
station owned by a friend of mine.  The former station operators left lots
of stuff when they skipped out on the rent two years ago.  The station is
still vacant, but that's a long story.  Besides, it gives me a free place
to store vehicles.

One of several engines left behind (with the old Chevy 350s) is a Mercedes
V-8.  My brother thinks it is from a Mercedes 450.  I don't know anything
about its condition, but it is free to anyone who wants it.  Just come and
get it.  I will ship it only as far as I can push it on its dolly before
the first caster falls off.

Just think of the torque curve if someone could stuff it into a Vanagon!
