Check out the former Copher's U-Pull it. There should be a few in the area. Not totally sure of the exact addresses. Causeway blvd. near hwy 41. Ulmerton Rd. near Roosevelt Blvd. Some diesels-not much, Paul.

Ricks European Connection 6720 114th Ave Largo, FL 33773-5417 (727) 546-5347 ...
This guy has the goods, but I don't think walking around is much of an option. A few years back he let me cruise the yard for a few small pieces (door hinge, other small stuff) but last time I was there he was reluctant to send me back there. I think maybe I just caught Jim (nice, knowledgeable, helpful kind of guy) on a day he was either too tired, too busy, the boss wasn't around, or maybe he didn't want to piss around with me to make a $25.00+- sale. Let me know how it went down there if you go, I'd like to go and cruise their inventory if they let you. MATT
Also, I have been to:
Copher U-Pull-It
12501 40th Street North, Clearwater, FL 33762
(727) 572-1976 (just past Clearwater/St. Pete airport)
you can positively walk around there ($1) but on the few occassions I have been there (looking for volvo and chevy parts), of course I looked for the MB's and did not see anything but some 60s- 70s stuff that had been pretty well worked over. They tell me they move stuff around quite often, you might get lucky.

Yes, Mattc mentioned the one I said off of Ulmerton Rd. in Clearwater. The other is on Causeway Blvd. East of hwy 41 & west of hwy 301. There may be one or two others if the company didn't sell them off. Paul.

All the former Cophers as well as the PullN Save in Daytona have been bought out by LKQ, which seems to be forming an evil empire of upullits. Compared to what came before them, they suck. Prices went up and entry fees doubled when they took over. But they're better than any non-self serve junqueyard...
