Now that I think about it, I am pretty sure I saw the wagon in fairfield on the road and talked to the last owners, its an unusual color and that was the only time I ever recall seeing a wagon that color. It didn't have many miles on it, but was noisy and smoking badly, and they were very happy to talk about how they were running biodiesel in it.

The front Bumper is pretty mangles, not too much to salvage.

Charlie, was the 230E upholstery regular cloth or velour?

Did the engine look serviceable? Did it have an SLS pump?

I sent a P.M. to capflya, but figure might as well put this out. Looking for the hatch latch as mine no longer triggers the dome light. Also looking for the spare tire cover and emergency cover in palomino, and know it will be faded like mine; just prefer something without holes...

On my wish list be the rear window regulators which are wagon only.

Darn bummer the yard scrapped the Oakland wagon before it was fairly stripped. Guess they found it more profitable.

It had regular cloth.

Yes the engine looks like it is good, the accident damage doesn`t look to be into the engine. Did shove the Radiator into the fan.

No SLS pump or system. Has regular Shocks on the rear.
