While the W110 Mercedes-Benz is known for longevity, some owners don't care enough to keep theirs alive. At that point, the lucky ones get a shot at racing glory. The unlucky ones?

They end up at the self-service junkyard, which means they get a month or so to be picked over for parts before being fed into the cold jaws of The Crusher; the remains are then shipped out of the Port Of Oakland to China. This 190c still has lots of good stuff on it, including a fairly complete interior.

Most of the cars at this yard went through an auction and failed to get a minimum $150 bid. Would you have bought it for 150 bucks?
