300SEL 6.3 with MINT interior at parts yard in Houston!

The local Pick-A-Part just received a 6.3 with an excellent interior. No cracks in the seats at all. Wood seems good too. Somebody in the area grab this stuff! They even made an ad for it on Craigslist:

Ugh, depressing. Just think, that yard probably bought that car for $100-300. Makes me wonder if the owner even knew what they had, let alone that they could have fetched more for it on CL.



A yard I hit local has a W180 in the corner pretty much complete. Thing looks like it came straight from The Third Reich.

They've got some W123s, W124s, a W116, some W126s, and 107s. But nothing older than that.

I went to their other location on the north side today and they had quite a number of goodies. 240TD with euro bumpers still intact. W126 280SE with both intact euro bumpers, set of 15" Pentas (but with wheel locks and no key), and Zender side skirts.

key type wheel locks can be removed with a slide hammer, but if the penta's were wide ones i would just cut the axles off and extract them home at my leisure ..

Thats the yard ,its my bi weekly hike thru both yards that keeps me in parts for the time being .I will always find something ,Im guessing by the great condition of some of them that they were garage queens .Interior pieces come easy but its the rare 300cd back seat that has been unabtainable .THe bad is that their raising their prices again.

I could really use the air-conditioning control unit...that looks like the thermo king unit I have in my 250...

Mine works but needs to be refurbed a bit as the markings have worn...

Hmm...

I don't know that I'll be going back there any time soon, but if I do I'll grab it.
