Gesswein Motors: rip off merchant.

Wish I knew more with a PM. I looked at three vehicles this year there. Didn'T buy anything. I communicated my interest in future 72-73 Imperials. He tends to find Imperials and NYBs. Not 72-73s yet.

Thanks a lot, Steve. I always wondered how to tell from an under-hood shot whether or not a car has ATC II. I learn something every time I read one of your posts. What does the Performance Analysis fix cost?

Not cheap, but worth it to me..............................

ACC Version I
Application: Mercedes-Benz ’77 – ’81 107; ’76 – ’80 123 and 116 models and Chrysler/Imperial AutoTemp systems

Auto Climate Control (ACC) Servo – Price: $595 includes $75 refundable core charge.
Performance Analysis Company has a permanent solution to a persistent problem for all 1976 to 1981 US model R107, W116 and W123 series Mercedes-Benz automobiles. The ACC system in these models utilizes a control valve housed in a plastic case; the most frequent failure of this device involves cracking of the large upper housing. Coolant leakage through the cracks eventually causes failure of the servo. Undetected loss of coolant can result in a ruined engine. Replacement with an original equipment plastic part is not only expensive, but the plastic replacement unit is also subject to cracking.

PAC instead offers these units with a heat-treated aluminum housing that eliminates the possibility of cracking and subsequent leakage. The PAC units are a direct replacement for the original equipment part in all MBs with the first generation automatic climate control (vertical row of pushbuttons).

ACC Amplifier – Rebuilt $119 exchange ($50 core charge)
This solid state device is the “brain” of the ACC system. It signals the servo to move in response to changes to inside and outside air temperatures and temperature wheel adjustments. (We buy amplifier cores – call or email us)

Yep

No, can you show me an example?

This beauty from another thread is the closest I can get so far...Burnished Red...I have seen it called Dark Red Metallic Poly in some ads. Rallye Red on Imperials are hard

to come by.

Burnished Red really suits the Fuselage Imperials, I like it a lot.

Stopped by this dealer a couple months ago. Can't say anything about him being a "rip off artist" but his cars were all super nice. Prices did seem high.

I agree. $15500 is a very high price for that car.
