I was looking at a back issue of R&T, May 2004. Page 21 this is what the article says:

Goodwrench News
"It is now possible for car restorers to acquire scrapped-vehicle parts from salvage yards before the machines are crushed. New Rules by the California Air Resource Board permit pre-demolition sales of body trim, upholstery and some other parts, Also, interested parties can subscribe to be notified by email when specific models arrive:http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/avrp/emailnotification.htm. Sema (the Specialty Equipment Market Association) was a major backer in the effort to halt wholesale, automatic destruction of scrapped vehicles. This is word for word. Here is the link to the home page of aftermarket parts http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermk...es/amquery.php

Now I'm not exactly sure if these are parts that they can get, you get on a waiting list, or what exactly this is, but my understanding is that vehicles that are going to get crushed can be stripped and parts can be sold. I did find a link that says superchargers for the benz 3.2 2000 model year and older. It also provides a list of what is in the kit. I copied what I found, it would be easier than to explain how to get to it. Any and all remarks, suggestions, info, and etc. would be great.
EO: D-507 View PDFEO Date: 9/28/2000Manufacturer Name: Markall, Inc.Device: Supercharger SystemDevice Type: Supercharger SystemPart_Number:Model_Specification:Modification_Allow ed:Remarks:HPT320K & HPT430K 2000 model-year and older Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with either a 3.2, 4.3, or 5.0 liter fuel injected engine. Kit HPT320K is applicable to the 3.2 liter engine and kit HPT430K is applicable to the 4.3 and 5.0 liter engines. The Supercharger System includes the following main parts: Eaton supercharger with a maximum boost of 4 psi., 3" diameter supercharger pulley, 6" diameter crankshaft pulley, intake manifold, air intake tubing, and an open element K&N air cleaner. The throttle body and mass airflow sensor are relocated to the inlet housing of the supercharger, a new wiring harness extension using factory connectors is included as part of the relocation of these components. The manufacturer recommends 92 octane fuel.

The factory fuel system is modified with an additional fuel pressure regulator that raises fuel rail pressure in proportion to the positive manifold pressure. The factory intake manifold is replaced with a new manifold housing that contains the supercharger and intercooler assembly. The EGR tube inside the manifold is modified to ensure even distribution of gases into each cylinder. The factory electric air injection pump is relocated to the inside fender area. Maximum boost pressure is 7 psi. The C class models receive a voltage step up device for the fuel pump when in the boost mode. A 500 ohm resistor, designed to prevent a lean condition during high RPMs, is installed inline with the output signal of the mass air flow meter.

one more thing, it says for more information contact: frankb@sema.org
i also looked on the page and maybe it doesn't sell stuff, but it does have a very nice listing of some aftermarket parts available for diff cars.

 

very cool. i just subscribed.

i don't understand the aftermarket parts search...

 

x-ed, you chose the part your looking for like supercharger. then you just have to scroll until you find the car, and then it says what is available and what you need and what is included.
