Buy it! Which means....YES!!!!!!!!!!!

To all those who vote "buy it"
 
Just so everybody knows who unfair this election is my generous father is not accepting votes saying "buy it" he says the only votes he will accept will be those that clearly say YES. He will of course accept any vote that in any weird or partial way says no; go figure.
I think this is total:

YES, buy it!

150$ is cheap, and you'd recover that in the first three parts you sold on ebay. Rust free body worth more than that.

peace,
sam

Have a Great Day

Are you nuts?
 
If it has a straight rust free body and good running gear you would be crazy not to buy it!

EDIT- YES.

Phil 11-21-2005 02:16 PM

Oh yeah.. Heheh, didn't mean to put any ideas in his head! If he gets it for ya, take the only set of keys, and keep the sucker locked all the time, otherwise those dash trim pieces will start to look awfully tempting to ebay... ;)

peace,

Buy it! all these guys are right on target so alls I can add is that it makes sound economic sense,if you decide to part it out or fix it yourself.

If it wasn't on the wrong side of the country I would buy it..(right before my wife strangles me to death)..I have a perfect engine for it.....

"If it was a lot closer I would take you up on that free offer.....but its too far away."

240D thread

Lester your wife is going to kill you if she reads these posts!!:D

For $150 you really can't go wrong. Heck turn around and sell one of us northern guys the body for $500. A rust free W116 is worth money up here.

I've still got most of DCulkins old W116 in my driveway.....I'm pulling the driveline next week.....starts in 3 revolutions in 10 degree weather...but its not no interior and its rust out beyond repair.

I would have grabbed that 240D for the parts for manual conversion.......and a few other spares and sold off anything else of value to anyone.

And the winner is
 
The final vote count is 1 no 14 yes and I would like to point out to my fine son I counted yeh and ja votes as yes furthermore one person was no doubt bribed into six yes votes which were tallied . Tomorrow I will have the friendly code enforcement lady stop by and inform him of the laws against inoperable cars and the $250 a week fine for such offence then I am sure he will be reasonable about paying me $25 to rid him of his problem. MATT WINS of course selling parts off the car like the heater servo on eBay should be allowed to help fund the parts needed to make the car go.
I may post a picture of the last W116 we bought for parts the day it was finely towed off the only person living within a mile who sad to see it go was the 14-year-old boy that would come over to take his anger out by beating the car hulk with a 12LB sledgehammer.
I would like to thank every one for getting me in trouble with the wife, neighbors and city but making my son very happy. Any leads on a rusted out W116 parts car with less than 50K miles at a good price we can travel to pick up the right parts car. However it has to look real bad and run real well think see-through doors and a roof so rusted you think it was once a convertible would be a nice touch.
