Several years ago, I decided to start getting clean rust free pickup cabs and beds from down south and out west.
By the time I received them, I could barely make enough money to break even when sold. Still thinking about it though, even though on a local level, there isn't much demand for old W123s... or really, and old Mercedes in general.
