Rarity at the yard

A 240td with nothing missing in reasonable good shape .I first looked in the engine bay and really wasnt paying attention til I got to the emblems on the rear hatch.Pulled a nice taillight ,a factory rear rubber mate from the back,and a triangle which was mint.Its an auto ,no 5spd so no luck their.It made the trip all the more worth while.

Spheres are worthless, the shocks arent!

A 616 with an SLS pump in the head has to be as rare as hen's teeth in the USA.

I agree with Kerry on this one. I'm still kicking myself for not pulling that head off the 300TD that donated other parts to forum members.

Granted. I'd probably still own the 300TD head. I guess it would make a good door stop.

Problem with getting a good/rare head is, ... you don't want to sell it even if you can't use it because you're afraid you won't be able to find one, IF you need one.

Babymog - I have this problem with most parts; rare or not.

Now at last the problem has been brought out in the open and those of us who suffer form this syndrome can more easily seek help, I know I will never need that passenger side rear view mirror for a CD

I have one sitting next to the barn. A 240 with SLS, not hen's teeth.

There is a 240TD here in town that I see every so often. I'm not sure it's still around here or not I haven't seen it in a while.

Those bumpers are still there in case anyone wants them. There's also a W126 280SE with both intact euro bumpers, set of 15" Pentas (but with wheel locks and no key), and Zender side skirts.

Their other location has a 6.3 with a mint interior. See here:

300SEL 6.3 with MINT interior at parts yard in Houston!
