RE: [diesel_mercedes] Re : MPH & Fuel Economy

 

Yeah, it's an irontop.  XLS "Speedster".  '83, first year after The Motor Company bought themselves back from AMF.

It's leaky, noisy, greasy, the seat is torn and you have to beat it with a stick to get it around a corner.  But, you know what happens when you push the "Start" button?  It starts, runs and gets 45 mpg on fuel (gas) that costs $3.55 a gallon.

Wouldn't mind a panhead or even pre-Evo shovelhead.
