Hi all, I'm new here. I live in MD and I'm in the planning stages of building an electric car. I'd really like to get an early 90's 190E with a manual transmission for my chassis. But after searching for several months it seems like that is a really tall order. Looks like the only ones I've seen are 16V's and I would HATE to tear one of those beauties apart. So what I'm looking for is a car that fits ALL of the following requirements:

1) MB sedan that weighs less than 3000 lbs
2) Manual trans
3) Body and interior in good shape
4) Engine can be bad or missing
5) Less than $3000.00
6) MD/DC/VA area or able to tow it to me

I was hoping that since this is an enthusiasts list maybe someone would have what I'm looking for stashed away in their yard just looking for a good home.

Thanks
Rick Stewart
