Looking at the 1st and last pictures, I think the junkyard is in a country other than the US...possibly Asian country.
Never the less, still a good buy, for the parts!

Excellent find Tony, someone needs to resurrect this BRABUS R129 SL from the graveyard.
I wonder how many R129 SL roadsters with the M113 5.8L were produced by BRABUS.

i doubt that many were made.
its a bit odd that it was done up by Brabus but it doesn't have the sport package bumpers and what not. its odd since someone spent all the money on the Brabus stuff.

The above SL was already upgraded with BRABUS aerodynamic enhancements.

Well, Guys...... Like what the title of the thread say...... One man's junk is another man's treasure....
We're too late..... Someone pick up the whole car and restoring it, not parting it out..... That good news for the car.....
