1960s Fintail Behr Radiators

[Thunder-71]

In a salvage yard Original Behr radiators.
1. 111 500 06 03 in a 1960 220SEb 6 cylinder F.I.
2. 111 500 09 03 in a mid 60s Fintail
3. 108 500 05 03 in a mid 60s 250S
All have some dents on the tanks and should be re cored, then the dents could be straightened. Is there value to them to pick up?
Thank you.

All those old radiators are getting hard to find. So the answer is yes- sort of.

You will need to invest $ in repairing them all, store them and list for sale. I'd find out what repair costs are and work from there to see if you can still make a buck doing so.

May be better if the buyer that wants one does the re core and repair himself and to his liking. I would rather not do it.

absolutely! any fintail parts you can get your hands on, please do. Hate for them to be scrapped If they can be salvaged. If you buy them and decide they are too much work I'm sure you could still throw them for sale and fetch a pretty penny!

Thank you for a good advise. I will do that.

Look up under the dash on the far ends and you will find plastic tubes that lead to the air vents. These tubes are NLA and sell for far more than you might imagine.

Also grab the blinker relay off the firewall. And the radio if it is still there.

Check for the power brake option. On the pre 1962 cars, and perhaps on some later ones, this booster is not on the firewall but up under the battery.

And if there is a Kuglefisher under dash air conditioner then any parts of it are worth something.
