87 300D

I will keep this in mind, although I would prefer cash in hand when I "sell" it.


Thanks

Ashedd, the "Pull a Part" out on W16th street pays pretty good money if you can drive it in. They have a fleet of tilt bed trucks with winch that can pull it on with or without wheels. They paid me close to $525.00 this spring for the LIncoln. I think they pay about 50% of that if they pick it up.

That's the one I've been eyeballing. I could do the tacky tow strap thing, I've been known to do it in a pinch. Two problems with that, well three: 1) Rear calipers are sitting in the garage, 2) doesn't run(very little brake pressure), 3) The engine is "sitting" on the cross support underneath it. Under the right circumstances it could hit the ground lol.

I could set it on fire... I do have a mosquito problem out back.

When i scrapped my 300sd, we used our forklift and put it on our car trailer with out the wheels and the scrapyard picked it off the trailer. I would find a damn cheep towing company that will winch it up without wheels. Or find a friend with a trailer, and tow it up on the trailer, then use your floor jack on the trailer to take all the wheels off.

I was just in your area today, spent the day watching the Grand Prix race at the Motor Speedway.

Its pretty much cash in hand as youll be getting to deduct blue book value from your tax return.

Be careful. The rules changed in 2004 because the IRS saw this as a deduction that was being abused. You can deduct the fair market value (which is NOT necessarily the same as blue book; it depends on condition) IF the charity uses or substantially improves the car. If they just resell it, you can only deduct what they sell it for.

BTW, I could really use a good ALDA for my '81. Don't know if you still have yours, or if the one from an '85 would even fit...

The alda for this car didn't work, I dont think. I removed it and got great power. I then tried to reinstalled the alda, even with the screw all the way out it was dead slow. As far as I know they are all the same or very similar.

D'oh. Yeah, that sounds like the same problem I had with mine. Except I knew mine was broken because I broke it. Heh.
