Are these 14" steels?

Are the 2.47's limited slip?

Yes, these are 14" steel wheels; also known as hubcap friendly. I guess I should point out that I also have some hubcaps, but none in China Blue.

How would I know if the 2.47 rearend were limited slip?
Can you look at the pics in this post and tell if it is limited slip?

Wow! $50 for steelies? It was a pain to get rid of the steelies in CA. I ran the ad for 3 weeks and ended up selling them for $5 each with mediocre tires.

I am pretty sure that differential is non LSD since it would have the clutch pack in the center.

Well, I did say, make an offer. I'm reasonable. Do you know how hard it is to find a decent set of steelies? The junkyards like to weld them together to make car stands.

I could travel thru Jackson on the way if you want a w126 hood? I'm going to be pretty full coming back from Atlanta....unless, of course, you want to take a look at what I bought and maybe buy "some" of it.

Do you want to buy a w116?

If you were coming through definately would take the hood. As far as the 116 goes I have sworn off non running vehicles for the rest of this century. Maybe next century

Okay, what if I throw in a 1984 300D 144K miles that runs? Then are you interested in the w116? I'll also find a driver's door for it.

PM sent about the hood.
