Not quite what you're looking for, but **************.com hq is in Bellingham, I think.

So, went to 3 pic and pulls. They were relatively small, but chocked full of interesting cars: VW's (vintage bugs, vans, and station wagons), mg's (b's and a's), and lot of Japanese old schools (datsuns, etc), and a tonnnnnn of cool SUVs/trucks (range rovers, Toyotas, monteros, fords, Chevys, jeeps, etc).

Mercedes-wise, first place I went had a 77 MBz and a couple of 80's and 90's versions. Next place I went, few 80's. A little disappointed, but then I went out towards Arlington (past the Indian reservation), and hit pay dirt (see attached). It was a 72 se- must have been a show stopper in the day. Black leather interior, wood grain dash (no cracks; that's a first), wood on the windows (what?!) , etc.. Best part about it: vultures hadn't picked it dry yet (mainly just the headlights/tail lights missing)!!!

Had flawless silver seat trim (8 pieces); km/hr speedo; and a trunk fuel sensor- all mine!!! I wanted to pull all the wood, but would be a shipping hassle (or even to get in plane back to dc), had original speaker boxes as well (left them), and un-touched engine compartment (but didn't really need anything).

All-in-all, fun little treasure hunt. Oh, FYI that .com place Jmela referred to is really just a warehouse- I called. These days they "make kits, for shipments".

Still in seattle, still having tons of fun (sighted 3 Tessla, vintage bmw, studabaker, and an ultra rare honda that at first I thought was an mgb). Auto show this Friday...

If the steering wheel is uncracked you might want to grab that, too, but only if it is the thin ivory or black plastic one. The Rubber one they started putting in in, I think, 1974, is not really all that much in demand since there are still so many of them out there on the 123's.

And don't forget the horn ring if it is not all rusted through, and the horn pad if it is not cracked.
