I was cleaning out part of my garage today and found a cool looking instrument panel. The funny thing is, I can't remember getting it at all. So, what's it out of? These are pretty hi-res pics so you can right click to see larger pics.

Maybe it's from one of Enzo's personal cars and has his DNA on it so I'm rich?!?!?!

Maybe old merc?

Does look like an old Mercedes panel to me, but I have no clue which model it might be out of.

2/4ths of a tank should be a giveaway, never seen that before.

I'm going to guess 60s Merc, W108?

Ah-ha: Merc W108/W109/W114/W115 according to google (km/hr version).

The trouble with these threads is they are over so fast.

Nice job Evan.

Sorry, I was just so excited I knew the answer for once I couldn't wait.

Sweet, I just found a tail light as well. I bet the other is in there somewhere. I wonder, if I keep cleaning will I be able to build an old benz out of the parts?

Better question is do you want to?

The ID thread that turned into a build thread! Awesome

Uuuhhhh, NO!
And ECM, if I find the parts to build a car, I'll post the build thread. It'll be a documentary of one man's lost struggle with sanity, "Yes, the thermostat housing DOES need to be held on with 4, 5" long, fine thread bolts, with the radiator 4" away from the head of the bolt. That's the only way it can be..."

Maybe someone took the car completely apart so they wouldn't be tempted to fix it again.

If they were smart they spread the parts to the four corners of the earth and sent one piece to the moon, just in case.

In reply to EastCoastMojo:

Then you would get the car almost all the way together when you realize there is a piece on the moon.

ECM is right about these type of threads get solved quickly. When I saw the first pictures I knew it was European as they did the 2/4 & 4/4 markings. But it was also solved by the time I got here.

You'll need to log in to post.
