Its not eBay or Craigslist, but they are Mercedes trucks/vans!

Just found these in California:

Public Surplus: Auction #1056499

Public Surplus: Auction #1056497

Currently each has been bid up to $175.00-ish. Parts have been pulled, and I don't know if these are diesels or not...

Can not be operated in Kali Land

It can not be licensed or operated in Calif. will not pass CARB. Unless the expensive emission crap is installed.

Kali is successfully eliminating all older vehicles off their roads.

The engine must remain in out-of-state use, and the purchasing party agrees to provide a sales receipt and/or Bill of Sale documenting the purchase of the vehicle.

looks like there are others there that might not be on the auction block? bummer is you probably need to get everything they have in that yard to put together one running bus, with the disclosure on the site they look to be diesel and from what i have read they will haul a heck of a load but they will take a week to get out of their own way.

Looks like OM352 like a UNIMOG of that era or maybe OM314.

It would be worth the drive out to see and inspect whats been taken from the vehicles ,I would be willing to bet if you had a reasonably good Cali 300d turbo motor and trans installed it would be passable.If it orig had a 240 4 cylinder diesel,the 300d transplant could make the bus even pass something.
