I’m parting out a W123 300CD coupe. 181k miles, but odometer doesn’t work. Silver on black interior. This car is a bit perplexing -- some systems have been very well taken care of, and some not. Black interior that is darn near perfect, especially the seats and door panels. Body is straight but rough, repainted at some point and now peeling the clear coat. Have yet to evaluate the NA motor -- working inside-out as I dismantle it. Plan to do a compression test and will post results.

Some highlights:

-- Amber Euro turn signal lamps, in very good shape, except all tabs have broken off.
-- Tail lights in great shape.
-- All glass and window regulators in good shape and work.
-- Black seats are beautiful. Front and rear. No rips or tears, good support, and cargo nets are tight. Probably the nicest seats I’ve seen. For the fronts, the rear seat bolts were rusted to the floorboards, so the seat assembly has been Dremeled out. So you’d need to swap seat rails with your old seats.

Let me know what you need. I’d be happy to provide photos.

Weatherstripping and some parts unique to front coupe seats are sold.

Plenty left on this rig. EURO amber turn signal lamps. Excellent window regulators and motors, window glass, rear deck, chrome trim, rear seats, etc. Motor is quiet and strong. Body panels and doors need paint, but are straight and rust-free. Let me know what you're looking for.

Thanks,
Ted

I need the rear interior black side panels, C-pillar panels, and floormats. If the seats are MB-tex and six-pleat, I need one front seatback squab, will also take the headrests. May need some other parts, will check out my black interior cope when I'm back home in a couple days. Is your passenger mirror a power one?

Also would be happy for rear window glass and driver door glass as mine is scratched...but that may need to wait. Let me know what you'd like for the above and glass separately if you could!

Thanks for your interest. PM sent.

Still a lot left. I need to make space, and will be sending it to the crusher before the holidays. Willing to let stuff go for reasonable prices. Let me know what you need. I'd hate to crush good parts!

Did you do a compression test on the motor yet?

Yes. Apologizes for neglecting to post the numbers.

#1: 220 psi
#2: 345 psi
#3: 310 psi
#4: 340 psi
#5: 320 psi

Here's a video of the motor running. Idles smoothly and has good power, despite the slightly lower #1 cylinder.
