I sold my 1958 Mercedes-Benz Type 180D (W120) Ponton sedan some time ago to a gentleman in Auburn, Washington, and he got gobs of parts with it. However, I have lots of stuff left, and as I'm going through some health issues, and having to down-size I would like to sell all of the items on the attached list, and many others not listed for one price to whomever would like to purchase it, and haul it away.

I am a retired Mercedes-Benz mechanic and have been collecting Ponton parts for many years. My indoor collection includes, for example, transmissions, M180 cylinder heads with minimal corrosion, 220S door wood sets, chrome, glass, carburetors, interior parts, new ignition coils, new carburetor kits, generators, starters, voltage regulators, and much more. I am downsizing my storage capacity, so let me know your needs.

Its function is to direct the air from the grille into the radiator. Never reproduced before and now available for a limited time. Comes complete with (2) seal strips and (6) Chicago type screws to mount the seal to the support brackets.

As a hobby, I have collected, cleaned, and refurbished quite a few electric and manual Mercedes-Benz VDO Kienzle automobile clocks. I have other models, so if you don't see yours, let me know—I may have one.

In some cases, I am unsure which M-B model they are from, so you need to match with your needs.

All have been bench tested and are in working order. They are in various condition (i.e. pitted, dented, etc.), or in perfect condition. Will provide detailed photos as requested. These are all original equipment, i.e. no quartz or other replacements.

I now need to liquidate them all. I will sell individual units or lots. Contact me to negotate price/shipping.

10 brand new Febi Bilstein swing arm boots in sealed, un-opened boxes. They fit Mercedes-Benz Pontons, and also the following Mercedes-Benz chassis: 108/109/110/111/113 and possibly others. These fit just about everything with a swing arm rear suspension. After looking at installing one of those horrible split boots I managed to land a deal for lots of these. The proceeds should be good for barter to continue my 220S project. Lets trade! With the rear axle pulled out of the way, this is not a difficult job. Besides, if the boot is already bad on your project, imagine how much longer the wheel seal is going to last. If unsure about whether this will work for you, please contact me.
