Gary, shame on you. I don't know your health issues, or whatever else you have going on, and it would be un-fare for me to assume what happened between you and Rusty, but I do know your dealings is what I'm dealing with. I have to say Rusty loved this business, he loves cars, and of course mercedes, You all might think there is huge money dealing in these parts, there's not. I don't know the whole buymbparts story. or where anybody went wrong, I can only speak for myself, I bit off more than I could chew.

(grin) Which is why I didn't recommend the new Dodge Dart. It's a worthy competitor to the Fusion IMHO and gets closer to 40 mpg on the highway, but they aren't selling too well and I have my doubts that Chrysler will be around in five years. I predict that Fiat will bungle their acquisition of the company, cut their losses just like Daimler did, and the only part of the company left standing will be Jeep, which'll probably be bought by one of the Japanese companies (rebadged Land Cruiser as the new Grand Cherokee?). Alex That sounds like a very possible scenario. It's a shame, too, since Chrysler has built some exceptional cars in the past. I had a Plymouth and a Dodge with those nearly unbreakeable slant sixes hooked to 747 transmissions. Tuned up, and with careful driving, they would get 25 mpg.

Re: [MBZ] 1979 w116 headlights
Well guys, since I've owned a 116 (1980 300SD) for about 16-17 years, I can say I am a fan of the 116s, or at least the last year model. My 1980 still has the original engine, never had the head off, original IP, original exhaust...front to rear, and almost everything else. I did replace the seats (pads and leather) about 12 years ago, and just recently put in a used tranny (original had about 425,000 on it). Yes, I've replaced several servos, but only 1 a/c compressor when it was converted to 134a about 9-10 years ago. It starts fine, runs fine, and is an absolute pleasure to drive and ride in. Now, the Northern ones probably get rust, but I'm in GA and the car has always been Southern. I've seen lots of folks comment about how great the 126 is. Well, not me. I've ridden in a few and didn't like it (personal butt preference I know). The monovalves go too often on that system (I have it on my 1983 300D) and all the plastic around the bottom makes the car look cheap in my eyes (again, that personal preference) . I've also seen way too many with the front seats all cracked or torn because apparently the seats are not designed as good as in the 116. And I've seen too many cases of rust hiding behind all the plastic skirting around the lower body. Just my opinion to add. Best Wishes, Roger Hale Dinnerware Classics, Inc.

When i was a kid, I spent summers with my grandparents in KY. They lived on farms near this little town, maybe 20k people if that.

In the 60's, pretty high, they didn't use many key variations (on the order of 10k or so on models they sold millions of). I've heard the same story from several people.

71 definitely was, but sometime during 72 it was changed to 450 for the US market. Big bumpers in August 72 for the 73 model year, so the 350 and small bumper in either designation are rare. I've seen them all, but only one each of the 350 and the 450 with small bumpers. I don't think the 350 passed the US emissions and the 450 did using the low power cams.

Re: [MBZ] buymbparts
We have to be careful of slandering people, accusing someone of being an alcoholic is pretty strong stuff. Perhaps Trent has issues with alcohol but we don't know this for certain. Anyway I wrote a while back that his first course of action is to sort things out with Rusty, crying about how hard it is to sell parts and how there is not a fortune to be made is BS. It don't take a genius to work out there is not a shipload of cash to be made on slim margins and a very competitive industry. Yes most businesses do take a fair bit of work to be successful, what did Trent think or what did Rusty tell him about the world of parts retailing? You work two hours a day to make 500 bucks?

Re: [MBZ] 1979 w116 headlights
i've known a number of people who are huge 116 fans. i also know a far greater number of 126 fans, particularly of 560SECs. i never like either i like 123s a lot and 108/109s a lot. it might just be nothing more than different strokes for difference folks (although telling a 560SEC owner than you like a 300CD more will not be taken favorably) On Sun, Sep 1, 2013 at 10:36 AM, roger...@comcast.net wrote: Well guys, since I've owned a 116 (1980 300SD) for about 16-17 years, I can say I am a fan of the 116s, or at least the last year model. My 1980 still has the original engine, never had the head off, original IP, original exhaust...front to rear, and almost everything else. I did replace the seats (pads and leather) about 12 years ago, and just recently put in a used tranny (original had about 425,000 on it). Yes, I've replaced several servos, but only 1 a/c compressor when it was converted to 134a about 9-10 years ago. It starts fine, runs fine, and is an absolute pleasure to drive and ride in. Now, the Northern ones probably get rust, but I'm in GA and the car has always been Southern. I've seen lots of folks comment about how great the 126 is. Well, not me. I've ridden in a few and didn't like it (personal butt preference I know). The monovalves go too often on that system (I have it on my 1983 300D) and all the plastic around the bottom makes the car look cheap in my eyes (again, that personal preference) . I've also seen way too many with the front seats all cracked or torn because apparently the seats are not designed as good as in the 116. And I've seen too many cases of rust hiding behind all the plastic skirting around the lower body. Just my opinion to add. Best Wishes, Roger Hale Dinnerware Classics, Inc.

Re: [MBZ] buymbparts
No one is dealing with Trent or is even thinking about it IMO. It's just an interesting situation that several of us have been involved with. Those that want to keep him on the list probably just want to see how it all plays out. What's this about Rusty threatening to murder your daughter and your reporting him to the police? What about Rustys claim that you took $15K out of his bank account? I don't see where anyone is treating you like Hitler. Gerrywho never ordered anything from Trent and just reads the emails. . From: Gary Hurst jabbahur...@gmail.com why not just deal with people who don't rob you to begin with? the guy stole from most everyone here and then lied to them about to this day. he hasn't even acknowledged what the has done, let alone explained it. rusty continuously threatens to murder my daughter to the point where i have to report him to the police and end my association with him and you guys make me the new hitler despite my treating each of you excellently. this guy comes along out of nowhere, rips everyone off, lies about it , runs away and then comes back saying he wants to start over and you are desperate to offer him a ray of light at the end of the tunnel this is real madness On Sun, Sep 1, 2013 at 9:33 PM, Gerry Archer arche...@embarqmail.comwrote: ..

Re: [MBZ] buymbparts
Hi Gary, I've been curious to know about your relationship with Rusty ever since Rusty claimed that you took $15K out of his account; the reason being that I didn't know anything about you or your business methods and I was thinking about ordering from you. I didn't think Rusty was a saint like some of the list members do, and I often checked his prices against other sellers on the 'net. As of right now, I plan to order my parts from you since others have had a good experience doing so. I'm close to deaf and don't hear very well at all on the phone, so I'll probably be ordering online and trusting you to choose the best compromise between highest and lowest price. I will call you at least once to provide my CC number. I had a hilarious experience with Rusty not long before he sold out. I ordered a couple of driveline mounts from Rusty, and when they got here the package contained the shippers invoice to Rusty listing the price he paid. When I received Rustys bill by email it turned out Rusty had charged me about $80 or $100 profit for simply ordering a dropship. I called Rusty and asked him why he was charging me profit of twice what his wholesale price was. There was a long silence and he finally asked me how I knew that. I told him I had friends in California. Rusty was fit to be tied. I thought he was going to choke. Then I started laughing and told him about receiving his invoice in the carton from the supplier. I also told him what other online dealers were charging for the parts. Needless to say, I didn't have to pay anything close to his original bill. I've had my own small businesses before, so I don't get upset at some of the things small businessmen do because I did the same things myself years ago. Of course, I don't let them get away with much if it costs me money. Anyway, tell me what you care to. I'm just curious and won't spread it around. I'm an old retired widower living alone and I don't spread gossip or get into dustups with anyone if I can help it.

Re: [MBZ] 1979 w116 headlights
I find the DOT lights to be unfashionable and detract from the lines of the cars. The w114/115 look much better with euro lights, as do the R113, the W116, w123, and the w126. The round lamps make it look like a beady eyed freak. The silly round lamps in the w210 are damn ugly too. clay .

Problem is that I'm looking for around 40 mpg on the highway and 30 mpg around town. Hybrid Fusions cost about $10K more than I want to spend. Corollas, which are selling around here fairly cheaply, get up to 40 mpg on the highway, but I'd rather pay a little more and get something that's a little heavier and hopefully safer.

I predict that Fiat will bungle their acquisition of the company, cut their losses just like Daimler did, and the only part of the company left standing will be Jeep, which'll probably be bought by one of the Japanese companies (rebadged Land Cruiser as the new Grand Cherokee?).

Re: [MBZ] 1979 w116 headlights
SWMBA likes the lines of the 116. I will grant that it is a very well built car and has a sense of engineering and style that project confidence all around. They are truly tanks. Maybe it is the headlights that make me shy away. A w116 with euro lamps looks a tad bit more proper than the bug eyed DOT lights clay On Sep 1, 2013, at 7:36 AM, roger...@comcast.net wrote: Well guys, since I've owned a 116 (1980 300SD) for about 16-17 years, I can say I am a fan of the 116s, or at least the last year model. My 1980 still has the original engine, never had the head off, original IP, original exhaust...front to rear, and almost everything else. I did replace the seats (pads and leather) about 12 years ago, and just recently put in a used tranny (original had about 425,000 on it). Yes, I've replaced several servos, but only 1 a/c compressor when it was converted to 134a about 9-10 years ago. It starts fine, runs fine, and is an absolute pleasure to drive and ride in. Now, the Northern ones probably get rust, but I'm in GA and the car has always been Southern. I've seen lots of folks comment about how great the 126 is. Well, not me. I've ridden in a few and didn't like it (personal butt preference I know). The monovalves go too often on that system (I have it on my 1983 300D) and all the plastic around the bottom makes the car look cheap in my eyes (again, that personal preference) . I've also seen way too many with the front seats all cracked or torn because apparently the seats are not designed as good as in the 116. And I've seen too many cases of rust hiding behind all the plastic skirting around the lower body. Just my opinion to add. Best Wishes, Roger Hale Dinnerware Classics, Inc.
