190Dc.... towing damage / drive train
Found a collection of standard shift 110 Heckflosse "parts cars" ranging in years from 1962 - 65 just 3 hours from my home.
My plan is to put one on the road - souped up with my 85mph 240 engine. The one that interests me most was towed from Texas without disconnecting rear axles or driveshaft...... Owner tells me transmission damage resulted, but was not specific. The car isnt running. Am planning to jack up both rear wheels and check for play in differential, axles, etc. What can i expect to find wrong with drivetrain of 110 standard shift sedan that was towed with rear wheels spinning more than 2,000 miles?

Totally trashed tranny, it ran 2000 miles with no oil. The tail shaft with the tranny in neutral doesn't spin the main shaft, so the gears in the oil are stationary.
Lack of oil will eat the bearings, and possibly also some of the gear teeth. Not worth fixing, especially if there is another one available in good shape. Peter
