1987 300TD W124 Wagon...DC Impound Auction...$450 Ends 07/18/2012

See link below...apparent fire damage to right rear tail lamp and right rear door moulding...I rather a diesel enthusiast get it for parts/restoration than send it to the crusher.

That sounds pretty good, wonder if it runs?
If I lived on that side of the country, that is probably something I would try and pursue.

it's obviously a northern car... corrosion all over the intake.
looks like it was parked near a fire... rear quarter/brake lens partially melted...
looks like they drug it into the parking lot... drive train could be seized, or the E-brake could be on.
looks good to me though... of course I have 4 already...

Or they didn't have the keys and it was in gear. Probably worth a close look if you live nearby. Is that a walker in the back seat? Looks like it sat for quite a while under an evergreen tree.

looking at that blow-out spare i thought maybe a tire fire but the tire doesn't look melted. maybe a mishap at the fuel pump?

All three rear seat headrests! Third row seat, too? Can't tell from the junk collection. Engine looks like the car came from a salt-air climate.
