I saw this wagon today. What a wasted trip!!! First, it looks like it's been rained in for months. Wow!! Has a 3rd row seat but it has tears in the seat bottom section around the edges. It does have 3 rear headrests in pretty good shape, albeit filthy! Tan in color.
Also had a metal over flow tank, but I didn't grab it.
The front hydraulic pump was gone, the rear valve was gone, both accumulators were gone. Only thing left were the struts.
I grabbed the cruise amp. Of course, it didn't work.
Nothing else on that wagon worth having really, except maybe the radiator, but I got service calls in while I was there so my time was short.
Rear hatch struts were awful. Too bad because the rear hatch of Smash fell onto my head yesterday. I have a nice knot and a very impressive 2" scab too! Darn near knocked me out as I had just put something on my tool cart and was raising up as it came down. Youch......
Oh, there was a W123 280SE next to the wagon and I did manage to get an aluminum bodied Evil Servo

as well as an unburned amp. Compressor and expansion valve both looked fairly new so I bet that thing works. No cracks of course and everything was hooked up. Hmmmmm
So, as far as the wagon goes, it is fairly awful. But it does have a decent [black] drivers side rear door and the rear hatch was non-rusted also. Calling Dan..........

280se?

The 280se had the m110, Right. Anyone needing a 185 hp injection setup--I still have the injection setup off a euro 280ce that I parted out.
