Yes, it was a brown 116 . . . pretty trashed . . . row 14 I believe in the SE of Phoenix, not sure exactly the address, but it was the next exit West on the I-10, past the 202, take a right, second light go left (north) I believe it was 56th street, about a block up on the right.

Most of the yards in Tucson don't let you in . . . or they don't have Mercedes . . .

I hit 2 PNP yesterday looking for a R/R 123 light assembly. only one 83 300D w/o the tail lights. quite a few 126 gassers, one clunker with 111k. one had an engine fire with almost perfect red burgundy leather interior. saw my first M/L in a PNP. another clunker with almost perfect interior.

The E-Bay junkies are right in there, so as quick as the cars are set, they are jumping in to strip the good parts. says he makes 6k on E-bay ea month.
It`s either this crew in the beginning, or the second crew that destroys what is left.

Last year and the year before, there were a lot on 123`s in there.

I might go back to that 123, the vacuume pump looked to have been just put on. the aluminium didn`t match the surrounding grease and grime. and can see what looks like Permatex gasket sealer that is clean.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
