Euro w126 at Rancho Cordova Pick n Pull

Saw a somewhat partially stripped black (repaint ~ok job) w126 (87 maybe??) gasser at the Rancho Cordova PNP off Sunrise.

The Good: Manual windows, 1 euro headlight (glass ok, inside of housing rusted and some parts missing, the other glass was broken). I'm not sure if this is the original euro style hood or what but had the ?different grill style? without the spot for the hood ornament, but did NOT have the central tri-star of a sec. Blue interior, and all the seats had been recovered in a blue with dark bluish-purple fabric which was still in good shape although the actual pads at least on the drivers side were shot.

The previous owners had also at one point double sided taped on a wing, and mounted a faked air intake on the hood! (no hole just a dirt/paint mark).

I took some crappy pictures with my phone but didn't think to take a picture of the hood, and unfortunately the import sticker isn't as readable as I would like.

Yikes, that looks like Buick-Blue-Fuzz(TM) Seat material.

Those crank handles for the windows can't be original either....

You're right, my last Olds ('89) had something similar.
