WTB: Various w123 items - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

daw_two · #1 06-14-2012, 07:25 AM

I'm looking for a "perfect" w123 300D parts car, but since the likelihood of finding it is quite low, here's what I need:

84-85 Palomino front and rear seats or covers/skins
OM 617 running engine and transmission with less than 200K miles
Trunk feltboard pieces

I'm willing to trade, barter, or buy these items. In addition, I can pickup the engine & transmission.

Not sure if you saw my recent post for someone else...

I can offer a 1984/5 transmission with 245k, but more recent service or rebuild.
Also have the non-turbo NA 5 cylinder pulled at around 220k

One good passenger seat and a usable, complete driver for parts

IF nothing local turns up, I would be happy to work with you

I did see your other posts. Let's discuss. Email sent.

If you don't locate an engine/trans, I have a setup with around 145,000 in a SD, so you'll have to use your engine mount arms. But, I wont be parting it out for a couple months. I'll keep you in mind when I get to that point since your in the next state over.

You are still welcome to what I have. Great 85 style palomino passenger; rough but complete driver...

I hear you guys. It's just NC and VA aren't in the weekend cards for a while.

And yes, if I haven't found any seats nor an engine by the time I roadtrip to MD and PA, then I might have to sidetrack to NC and VA.

Did someone say "roadtrip"?

I found a 170K mile engine --- the seller listed it as a 300TD engine; TD meaning Turbo Diesel; NOT Touring Diesel.

I was a little bit put out since I drove over 1.5 hours; however, after jawing with the guy a bit and recognizing his situation and all, I decided to grab it. Keeps me from having to pull an unknown one from the junkyard in this heat.

Need to get it unloaded out of my truck.

I really need 2 front seats --- or just the seat skins.

I have someone driving from Columbus, Ohio next week in a truck ---- he can haul seats for me. In addition, if you want something from he, he can haul it up there.

Leaves are soon to change..good time to road trip to the NC mts!

Did I send you pics of the palomino seats I have?
Passenger is good all around. Driver springs are broken and some wear/tear in bottom.
Could send skins in the mail, just not sure how to remove skins from the backrest?

If you want to go custom: I have a pair of front leather skins in good condition too, driver needs the outer seam re-sown
