I keep running across older sedans - 300's and 280's that have for the most part been abandoned. Typically the stereos are gone and the interiors are mouldy but mechanically they are all there. Is there any thing worth salvaging on these old beasts if I get the chance that we can use on our Pagodas?
You have two car photos attached. The first is a W109 300 SE, the second is a W116 unknown.
W108 / W109 cars have lots of common parts, switches sometimes, if w108 and fuel injection then fuel pump and lots of engine/injection stuff. If you have access to the 300 SE get the tachometer that is mounted where the clock would be on a 108. Won't do anything for a pagoda but a good item to sell or trade. Seat belts mostly the same (Kangol), lots of stuff. But really the 109 has parts that are unique to a 109 that are worth some money.
There are no body parts from non-Pagodas that fit Pagodas that I know of. Also no interior parts with the exception of part of the seat mechanism from a 111 coupe, which is probably worth as much for a 111 coupe as it is for a pagoda.
