[W126 Coupe] update on totalled 560SEC

[Daryl Armstrong]

Mike,

Hi and hello again to everyone, I've just been reinstated after a three year
or so absence. Thanks for letting me back in.

I need a few things for my car and might be willing to purchase the whole
thing just to make it easy. Specifically, I need a dash and some other
interior pieces, wouldn't mind having the mechanical parts about and have
space to store the carcass. If this is of interest, what color interior do
you have?

Thanks.
