Fun stuff!

I ran across a fellow like that about 15 years ago. Had all sorts of interesting iron and parts amongst the most memorable, a 53 studebaker disassembled, 53 vette blue streak motor with dual carbs and split exhaust manifold, and in back a 37 cord/ hupmobile in rough shape....

after wandering through a while I had to ask....."say....you married?"

He said no but he used to be. (And this is just too predictable). He said his wife finally said it was her or the cars......

(in unison) .....and then he said "I miss her sometimes".;)

True story including the punch line.

AMG parts cache discovered (many pic's)
 
To see the actual pic's I took, of them, you may have to register on benzworld.


But they are real, and still exist in time warp condition, with the parts. I have known the man that has them since 1985, near San Francisco...


There are two threads with pictures, that I took last year and this year on separate visits.

Aside from the benzworld posts, they have never been seen on the internet before, because their owner does not like computers.


There could be some other AMG W123 parts in there, besides the springs and W123 euro tail lights (new gray market euro take offs) that I verified, and saw, actually. Maybe some other ones, that would fit, (AMG ones, that is). Lots of brand new AMG wheels in their AMG boxes, untouched and not even inventoried yet.


First visit with camera.

2nd visit with camera. (This time I did verify some W123 AMG springs, brand new ones. And W123 euro headlights and tail lights too ..see actual pic's of them, hereinbelow)

you might be right, when I mentioned ( in a whisper ) the word "sell" he said he would not sell to just anyone, but someone that appreciates the cars , he had a lot of time and effort invested in them to let them go . I guess I gotta win his respect.
