1964 190D fintail Diesel available in Phoenix Arizona!
The white 1964 fintail is a 190 Diesel with a good interior, upholstery and carpeting is fairly neat and clean. It hasn't been wrecked and it looks like it has been sitting for about 15 years or longer, but it has all the original parts, trim, lenses, lights and even the original wheels with the hubcaps intact!
It is at Ecology Auto Salvage at 320 S 27th Ave Phoenix AZ #602-233-2277 It has some rust issues, but I've seen much worse than this get repaired and the body is very straight for this vehicles age! A rodent made a nest in the battery tray, but he's gone and the egine compartment looks complete with no hose or wiring damage! I took the grill, but will gladly return it to the next owner who will get it and restore it. Frankly, it looked like it belonged to someone old who just stopped riving it and left it somewhere until they passed away. It's a column stick shift tranny and the dash is really the worst part of the car in looks and appearance. I thought about bringing it home myself, but I don't have the room for it. Somebody rescue this car! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rv2-DYgzcY I would be willing to help get it home locally by towing it on a car trailer with my Dodge Ram for someone with their own trailer or willing to rent one, About $65 with tax to get a car hauler from Uhaul! It even has 4 new tires on it! __________________ "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice and moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!"

I may be purchasing a 300SD in that area if everything follows through... Whats the price? If noone else wants it and its cheap enough, I'll take it... Do you think a SD is capable of towing it back to Atlanta? It'll have to sit in my garage for the next 4-6 years or so, but thats way better than the crusher!

I think your SD could pull it back as long as the tires were good and you had a good hitch to pull it with, but the going would be slow. Putting it on a trailer and towing it and the weight of a car hauler I think would be too much for a 300SD transmission though. A car hauler weighs a couple thousand pounds by itself!

Much as I know the car should be saved I'm just not in a position to do so myself. I've been "discussing" the situation with my girlfriend who wants to know if she can get on the forum and ask how she can get her boyfriend to stop thinking this kind of madness. I mentioned it would be the wrong forum for that and she said she didn't mean a Mercedes fanatics forum but one for the disgruntled wives and girlfriends of Mercedes nuts
Actually I'm still toying with the idea of heading down there to look at it myself but realistically I just don't think it's something I can take on. Sure hope somebody would be able to though. - Peter.
