Ughh my buddy almost pulled thoese for his coupe a couple months back. I think he removed the hardware for the front then said screw it. haha.
I don't really like 280 euro bumpers. I like the more basic euro ones with the rubber ends.
I guess i could give you a nickel for them though.

First, tell your buddy thanks from me for leaving the front bumper just lying there on the ground, for me to pick up, and for not damaging the headlight washer nozzles. And then, I'd like to knock the f***ing ape's teeth out for completely stripping the hold-on nuts of the rear bumper. It took Rocky and me, taking turns, about 45 minutes, sweating like pigs on the hottest day of the year, to sawz-all the entire rearmost fifteen inches of the body off. The rear bumper still sits that way, attached to the ass end of the car, in my garage.
The bumpers' metal is not bad at all. There is rust on the inside of the front bumper but neither bumper is dented or bent at all. One of them, I forget which one, has a half-dollar-size patch of flaking chrome but it is right underneath the rubber strip. The visible chrome is practically flawless.
The front bumper's rubber strip is essentially perfect but the rear bumper's rubber has been deformed (dented permanently) in several places. So I bought a new rubber strip for the rear from Abe. Price reflects the inclusion of this new rear rubber.

Ah--that explains why Rocky remained so cheerful when I asked him to break out the sawz-all (in 90-degree weather); it was prolly he who stripped the nuts. Gotta love the determination of these Mexicans Gone but not forgotten: two W123 sedans and two W124 wagons.

I'm looking for euro /coupe/ bumpers if anybody has 'em for sale, and MAYBE also sedan ones (I think I've already secured a source for sedan ones - a 230C donor vehicle).
Let me know what you have left - I'm likely interested in bunches of this stuff and stuff unlisted. I'm also driving a car back from Texas this weekend, so I could stop off at your location to avoid shipping costs. I've got a 300CD that I'd like to put a 4-speed from a 230C into, sounds like you've got the bits to make that possible - then again maybe a lot of those bits are on the 230C... Definitely want the wood and shocks if still unsold (though those are already called-for and probably gone), euro lights (price on that is a bit high though, eh?), possibly a bunch of interior parts depending what color/condition yours is, and basically anything that I could use on either the 300CD or 200D. I need front seat belts too, at least the latches that are attached to the seats. What's the deal with the swaybars? I'm not at all familiar with them. Also is there something better about the GD flywheel/clutch?

(10-14-2011, 01:44 AM)Raptelan I'm also driving a car back from Texas this weekend, so I could stop off at your location to avoid shipping costs.
I've rescheduled for next weekend, and today I bought a 1980 300D with 81k miles for $750 that needs a lot of cosmetic TLC (mechanically it's fantastic!). Let's talk about what you've got available in the interim as now I'll have four W123s.
Too bad it's not a turbo but you can't beat that price. Lesson learned. If somebody on Craigslist posts a car ad with a greatly reduced price from their previous ad, saying "MUST SELL TONIGHT", it actually *can* be a good idea!
