I will have the car in my possession after the 14th of December, so I will be able to better evalute what works, what doesn't, etc. at that time, but until then, feel free to e-mail me if there's something in particular you might be interested in, and I'll get back to you when I get the car.

mikemover@mindspring.com

I'm in Atlanta, GA, but can arrange shipping of parts to the lower 48...sorry, no international shipping.

Details I do know:

Maroon/burgandy paint w/ at least some good body parts (not original color)

Engine runs but has 'unknown' problem

Good transmission

Doors with working power windows, manaul locks

good original radio

good wheels/hubcaps

some good interior stuff (palomino color, I think), including wood

suspension parts

I'll update this when I get the car.

salvage yard off of hwy 247 near Warner Robins? I have seen it parked out front for awhile now.

No, it's in Columbus, actually. I have to pick it up on Sat., the 15th, so I can give everybody the lowdown on it then. The person I'm getting it from struck me as a very reliable source of info., so all the stuff I posted above will probably hold true.

Drive on,
Mike

Will have the car Saturday, so I'll evaluate everything then, and post details here. E-mail me with any questions/offers

mikemover@mindspring.com

I will have some photos of it on my site as soon as possible.

I'll forward it to you again just in case.
Thanks

OK, I've got the 300D....Motor has a bent rod, but everything else is good as far as I can tell. I have a power steering pump, starter, almost new alternator, fuel injection pump, injectors, AC compressor, which seems to be good--I don't have any way to test for leaks, but PO says it works--someone I trust. Also have water pump, radiator, many good hoses, head, valve cover, air filter housing, etc...New glow plug relay, original radio, good wood, Transmission is good, rear end, suspension components, brake components (no master cylinder), pretty smooth doors on passenger side, with working power windows/manual locks, good quarter panels, bumpers, grille, drivers side fender, taillights, fuel tank, many trim parts, etc.

Body parts are NOT original color. Car has been painted (poorly) in a maroon/burgandy color, but the original color, Light Ivory, is still on the door jambs, etc., so it wouldn't be difficult to spray them back to the original color. Nevertheless, many of the parts are good. Trunk lid, quarter panels, pass. side doors, hood is OK--has very minor surface rust--could be sanded off easily. All glass is good--no cracks.

Interior is BROWN, not palomino. Driver's seat is trashed, as are the front door panels, but I have many other good interior items.

E-mail me to request more info/prices/pictures. I have posted some more pictures on my site--see link below--and I will have engine and interior pictures in a day or so.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello, djoyce,

Just sent you an e-mail.

'79 Super Turtle · #12 01-04-2002, 09:49 AM

Hi Mike, I'm curious as to whether that glow plug relay if you still have it, will work in my'79 300SD, light ivory!

If so, I may be interested if it's functioning okay.Please email me at 11bearing@go.com

Thanks!

mikemover · #13 01-04-2002, 12:03 PM

Sorry, the relay is sold already, but.....hey! Nice car!

Mike
