Kind of a follow-on to the "tipping point" thread. There's a 300D in the yard in Conway, SC if anyone wants to go picking. Think it's an '83 but I might be off a year. I think they get $350 for an engine ($300 for the engine and $50 deposit - I'm assuming we won't have a core). The trans will be $150 unless it's a stick, which is cheaper. At our PnP they try to talk the price up if it's a Diesel but if you stick to your guns they'll let it go for the price on the website (I've seen it happen).

I don't need anything right now or I'd drive down. We have an '87 300D in our yard (Cape Fear PnP in Wilmington - both are the same company) but of course that won't be a 617 so no good to me.

Their website doesn't say what has already been picked so you're forewarned.

Happy Hunting

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

Just trying to help out the East Coast Mercedes crowd. Folks are saying there are no more dead Mercedes of our vintage in the world.
