Who has one or more diesel parts car?





Would you post a picture of the parts car as it is today?

..I also have a 427 Cobra replica with an aluminum chassis.

The only diesel Benzo in my posession is a parts car. I do hope to pick up another in better condition...one of these days.

I'd grab an SDL parts car in a heart beat. I have been looking for one for years, yet to find one.

I would never be able to keep it at our house. I'd keep it down my dads friends shop. He will give me a few months to strip it, then it would be crushed.

It doesn't look nowheres near that nice in person, especially if ya crawl underneath it!

Yes, the junkman came and picked it up in November. I had most everything off that I wanted, though if I had the space I would never get rid of a parts car until it was entirely used up. I think it is wonderful to have a parts car to play with when it come to making new repairs. It is a great training vehicle. I do have a wonderful selection of usable parts in my garage. I did a lot of sorting out and modifying my storage so that it would be easier to know what bin the part is in.

1983 Mercedes W123 240D 4 Speed 285,000 on the road with a 617 turbo, beautiful butter yellow, license plate # 83 240D INDIANA

2003 Jaguar Type X, AWD. beautiful, good mileage,
Mom's car, but I won't let her drive it!

I was planning on just grabbing parst off my wrecked '85 until I could scrape up the $4k to fix it but now I'm thinking more along the lines of finding I good body with a blown motor and do a swap. I'll post pics later.

Oh yeah I should also add I'm lucky enough to be living on 30 acres so, between my dad's old rusting cars that he says he's going to resurect "some day" and mine, we've got one heck of a collection. Too bad most of his are his old Hondas that he's got sentimental attachment too. I wouldn't mind having another Mercedes parts car, though. Its very hand to have.
