Oh, yeah, The vent rings were off a 1975 280 w114. Nice looking inline 6 under the hood. standard torn up interior. It looked like it had been a good enough ride when it got there, until I pulled up the carpet. Looking for the rubber stoppers for the floor board. No floor at all. It had rusted completely away.
I would have pulled the body trim, but I had no desire to spend $5/lnft. Sadly I had two sets of trim for Gump, but sold it last fall. clay On Jun 20, 2012, at 2:30 PM, clay monroe wrote: > Frosch came to me minus her front plate holder.
