That is sweet.
I wish they showed the engine compartment.

Here's another pretty nice one that's ending today

That is an absolutely beautiful automobile. Its amazing that someone was able to let it sit for that long, if those are the original miles.

Sportsmans Guide has them now for like 25 bucks or something. Not exactly a Mercedes part, but I think they SHOULD fit on your trunk like they should, but the base is different.

I'd think somebody here might have one in a old Benz they are parting out.

That 240D is a sweet car. That trunk triangle was added by the owner. The SDL's were not a European car hence none had the tunk triangle from the factory. But they are cool and I have one on mine. Look around the real ones are out their.

I bought a few, and I would describe them as "well used". I had to put two together to make one "sorta good" one.

I'm confused, and alittle slow. Why don't you buy them yourself and keep them?

Sweet ride but the seller has zero feedbacks [hmmm] and also needs more pictures.

Any bets it will "sell" and then magically appear again?

Cheers,

Bill
