You might also have to look for other parts that would fit your car to get a match. Parts like doors / engine / trans as not all parts on older cars get inventoried , it just takes too long. Also, you may have to travel a bit, in / near city yards tend to be pressed for space and only keep fast moving newer stuff around.

This seems promising. Looks like NJ has quite a few options. Thanks.

I have the Chrome grill surround if you need one. Chrome is not perfect but not dinged up.

It took me 8 hours to get th)e hood open on the 85 190D after my sister broke the hood release cable. I ended up removing the bumper, removing the plastic shield that encloses the latch pivot under the core support, and operating it with a large screwdriver.

I was SO close to just putting my foot through the grill and calling it done, but I had gotten that grill a few months back from the yard and they never have good grills.
