Score (for me) possible euro??

Well, I think so. Got the gauges out, and took a good look at the car.
Car is a 79 300D, with manual windows, manual sunroof, cloth seats(blue check, yuk), and thin bumpers.

First question, should I strip the interior out and sell it on here or Ebay, or should I not waste my time. Don't know how much demand there is.
Second question, should I get the bumpers and sell them too? I'd kind of like them, but dont' really need them. The rear even has a trailer hitch. (not sure if a factory item, or aftermarket)

Last time I tried to get parts for someone, I still have the parts.

Here's the gauges I got.

It is a Euro, but the speedo was switched. Check recent posts because someone is looking for Euro bumpers. Maybe you can make a few bucks off of it.

Rear hitch? Euros usually had those and even SLS on the sedans.

Bone the car on the parts forum here. Euro goodies are in high demand. If the hitch is original MB then it wont have a removable ball but will be goose necked instead.

Not sure on ball size til I get back out there today. Manual heat controls, that I've thought about pulling. Didn't check to see if it had AC.

I agree, but it's a pretty cool addition IMO. Actually, I wanted the other gauges, not sure what I'm going to do with the speedo.

I believe if its a factory hitch the car would have SLS and it would be really a bear too remove. I like the euro bumpers but there not near as strong as the US ones.

Definitely not a factory hitch. Antenna was on the front fender, now it's in my garage. Got a very cool air deflector, made by Air Press. Rotating flap in the middle of it. Here's some pics.
