Salvage yards for W116 300SD?

I am the new owner of a 1980 300SD. I have quickly learned that parts and repairs of these glorious machines can be expensive. I am located in Miami-Dade county within driving distance of Broward county. Anyone know of yards with a decent selection of 'donor' W116s?
Thanks,
david

Check out european automotive group.com

They are in Georgia.

Davy Johnson has almost everything at a very good price.

You shouldn't have too much trouble in Broward county


Here is what William (MTUPower) sent me about 5 years ago. The names may have changed , but I think the yards are still there.

"There are three yards called U-PULL-IT. One is off Haverhill street in West Palm Beach, just south of Martin Luther King Jr highway, aka Purple Heart highway, aka State road 710 or 70. Another one is on Benoist Farms road just north of Southern BLVD., just west of the turnpike. There is another yard right next to that one, dont recall the name. The biggest UPI is off 441 just south of I-595 in Davie, which is part of the greater FTLauderdale area. Mxxxxxx Wreckers is behind UPI in Davie, much more expensive, but hold alot of promise because cheaper folks wont go there, and the cars tend to be unpicked over. Cant remember the full name. Off Old Griffen road in Dania Beach is Millions of auto parts- about a 10 minute drive from the other two yards in FTL/Davie. Those are the yards I visit, there are other more south, but I dont go to them. They all have different prices, and different counter people that charge what they want sometimes. Nothing is outrageous, and you can always say no and they dont care. Call me when you come down....I'm always happy to share the info."

happy hunting...what do you need?

Rick
