240D project car in North FL

The Redneck Rivera finally has a self serve auto wrecking yard.!!! (Pick and Pull). I have no clue how this area got along with out one of these. Have had atleast 4 or 5 wrecking yards operating in this area forever but they were all full service. The Grand opening was today.

Anywwwwway to my suprise they have a COMPLETE 240D Faded and flaking paint but NO RUST that I saw. Great solid looking body. Engine tranny everything still there.

Anyone need anything? Anyone want the whole car? YOu can paypal me the mula if you do and I'll pay a wrecker to pull it to my place temporarely.

Anything I should grab off it for my 300D and or SD or my Unimog? (w/617.952 installed)

Oh yeah, there is also a 190E. I wish it was a 190D... anyway, would the alternator on that be an upgrade to the one that comes with the 300D or SD or is that a way out in left field thought. Anything I should consider snagging from it?
Location- North FL - Panama City

We just got one here in Tallahassee too. I've been layed up with a rupture achilles tendon and haven't had a chance to venture in there. We've got a couple of U-pull places other than Pick-N-Pull here that used to have some W123's in them. At least one of which doesn't try to rip you off on prices.
