I was driving down used car alley and spotted this old Mercedes sitting in the back lot of a dealer.

Someone had removed the deck lid model number and had covered the holes, and the door handles were missing. I suspect it was

The interior was remarkably intact, leather with cloth inserts, although covered with dust and grime. Someone nabbed the driver's side headlamp assembly. The man said there was a drive-train in there and make him an offer. It was last registered/inspected locally in west Texas in 2001.

I am not offering this car for sale, only posting out of curiosity and comments.
