1999 Mercedes C43
My C43

I have an old 1999 Mercedes C43 AMG and it still runs and drives fine but the previous 10 or so owners have really beaten up the car, floor boards rusting, chipping bondo body kit, etc and I feel it is disrespectful to call it a Mercedes at this point, so I was wondering if anyone would want parts off the car, interior is mint as can be and most of everything works if there are enough requests I might part it but no guarantees

If I do end up parting out, I understand the struggle of find ancient euro parts so I’ll spare you on prices

It’s unlikely but if you got a friend with a C43 let him know about this

Thanks,
Ryan

Makes me want to cry to see a C43 in such uncared condition. Looks like most of the previous 10 owners just drove and probably didn't do any maintenance or show some loving care

Isn't this the famous Youtube C43 once bought for 200 bucks?

So Alex passed it on to you or did you get it from another owner who bought it from Alex?
Alex is good with cars!

Now you're the 11th owner?
It looks like Batmans cuse cruiser on the weekends.

I would be interested in the interior, as well as the gear shifter console if the "accordion" cover for the shifter is still intact..also I would take all the trim, and switches as well. Please PM me a price, may be interested in more as well.

What kinda panels would you want, and honestly I’m not sure, I might keep it and custom restomod it or if I can’t find anywhere to put it, I might just end up scrapping it

Front door panels are in excellent condition and have the factory carbon fiber sport option which looks great, I could get a picture to you later today

There were a bunch of cracks and holes drilled into the bumper since I’ve owned it and I tried fixing it up, but it’s currently sitting in my garage so I’m not sure if you would want my bumper

That’s ok, mine might be in better condition. No holes or cracks but previous owner lived on dirt road so it’s all pitted from rocks.
