Apparently they cost a small fortune to restore because of the ceramic bores.

But are they reliable?

The reason I ask is because there's a 380SL for sale locally at an almost give away price.
I don't know, but I'll find out. If the motor is a pain, I'm thinking of putting in a 5 cyl. diesel I have out of a 300D. That would make a fun car that I can run on the biodiesel I make!
