Whoa is me. I have wrecked my wonderful 79 300 CD!

On Wedneday, I was on 84 West in Conneticut when I met with tail of a deer. Luckily, I am unscathed. Unfortunatly, both the deer and my benz are gone.

But, if you are in that area, you can profit from my misfortune if you act quickly. The front end of the car is shot, but there are many salvagable parts on the car.

I have removed the front and rear bumbers, wheels and tires, rear signal lamps, interior rear view mirror, and all switches, a few Burl wood peices including the center console which has minor cracking, and all emblems from the rear. (all of which I can sell seperatly)

Whats left? Well, the entire engine (except for the radiator, which is shot obviously), good rear quarters, passenger quarter panel, passenger door (drivers door suffered a bit from the impact), good trunk, drivers and pass rear views, molding. Inside: the dash is in very good shape with only minor cracking, door panels in perfect shape, black MB-TEX seats (a bit of sagging, but the Tex has no rips). Remember this is a CD (two door)

I'm getting sad writing this list, but I know that someone with a flatbed, and a better mechanical hand than I, can profit from this. I dont have the car, but I have the title. That sounds dodgy, but I live in Philadelphia, and the car was wrecked on 84 West in CT (near exit 10). It is currently being held at a towing/repair facility in CT. The place is anxious to get it off thier lot, so am I since they are charging me storage. Let me know if you want this car. Make me an offer. The owner of the tow place was talking about donating this car to a frat house so they can tear it up so MOVE QUICK ! He is already hounding me for the title.

Pls respond to this post and/or email me at jplevens@yahoo.com

Im gonna post a few pics
