That's not sad -- that car is ready to depart the automotive world. Now, that 914 being in the yard is a sad thing.

In the last year, I've seen two in Atlanta-area yards. Both were almost completely stripped, and the only thing worth getting was a rear wiper motor assembly.

There are always multiple MB diesels in the Atlanta yards I go to, the majority of them being W123s, and the ratio is the opposite of yours -- about four diesels to one gasser.
Sorry, but an MB being in a junkyard isn't automatically a sad thing. Not all can or should be saved, but I will agree that many are crushed before their useful parts can be retrieved.
