hold on, i got this.

"I have a 1979 Mercedes Benz 300SD (a very large and ominous vehicle) which recently had the radiator fail. I visited several auto parts stores including Napa and Advanced Auto, and they found my request for a replacement radiator to be ludicrous. I found that eBay only has newly manufactured radiators, which are too expensive for my budget. Where would you suggest I attempt to source a replacement at a decent price?"


and an answer: try partsgeek.com, autohausaz.com those are the two i know of off the top of my head.
