The wagon is so-so some good parts tranny is in the back and engine is gone. Its a 78-79 type 2 Ac system and interiors are sort of OK. Used but some can probably be used. Orient red with palomino interiors.

The yard is.

From Northeast mall at 820 and 183 go southeast on 121 to Carson ave. Turn south and when the road T's on Elliot Reader go west. Its the Import yard located on that road. Can't remember the name. He has 12 or so Mercedes of various years. Only 1 W123 wagon, and a W124 wagon. A couple of W123 sedans.

PS I'm going to suggest something on your car. Have the mechanic disconnect the oil separator system on the car. IF your check valve is bad as mine was. You may be sucking oil up the drain tube and burning it. Mine resulted in a leak. I think it was stuck closed. No where for the accumulated oil to go. Yours may be stuck open and allowing a small amount of oil to be sucked into the air filter. if you open the airfilter and the seperator has a good amount of an oil film then this could be the problem.
