Any Denver area W123 diesel owners?...
I have a friend I would like to bring into the fold, but he needs to find a car and talk to some knowledgeable people. Thanks for any help.

Yeah, me here. Also, grimgaunt is just south of Denver. Both of us are nuts about Merc diesels, myself just recently, but he's been into them for YEARS.
Also, I think Kerry Edwards is from the Denver area? Anyway, you can send him my email.

For about $200, I got everything I need to convert my 300D to 4 speed. Also some interior parts with that.

Yes, I'm in central Denver. What kind of help does your friend need? There's a couple of TD's in the local paper right now. There was also a very inexpensive 123 on Ebay down near Co. Springs but it looked like there were some mechanical issues with the vehicle.

It's called Pull and Save and it's actually in Aurora. On 33rd Ave (?) just west of Peoria. There's not guarantee it will have any Mercedes when you get there. They go thru vehicles very quickly. They don't seem to stay there for more than 3 or 4 weeks.

About four weeks ago bought a 1984 300D engine and transmission complete for 210.00, Car was showing 163,000. Had a local pull it for $80.00, every now and then they run some excellent specials.
Good Luck |

Any of you guys in Denver know if a place called Best Deals on Wheels ever opeaned back up? It was on 2084 South Broadway. Just kind of wondering if they went under for good. The 500 came from there way back when
BTW to any of you Buffalo fans GO BIG RED! |

Hi I also live in Denver. I was at the Pull and Save last Friday. there was a 115 series 300d, a 1983 123 series 300d and 116 series. I got some good stuff off the 123, for my 82 300d. The headlight surrounds are like new they are going to look great. although I did have to pay $1.49 each. I am lookig for a manual trans 240d, or the holy grail a 300d. My auto sprung a leak. Well it was going anyway. E-mail me if you need help or to talk about whatever.

Hey - I live in denver, drive a 126 diesel but I know people with 123s. I was at pull and save today - Down to 1 or two 123s right now..
If you are intrested in finding some parts I know all the yards in the area and usually keep tabs on the ones with mercs. E-mail me and I can direct you them.
