Some engine parts, possibly. Window parts; not likely. Power door lock parts? No. The 115s were blissfully simple, without all the vacuum-powered or automatic climate control stuff. It probably has crank windows, especially if it was Canadian-market. Definitely naturally-aspirated. Even the W123-based 300D didn't get the turbo till sometime mid-'81ish.
'Twould be better to resurrect it and drive it....
(The earliest W115 5-cylinder diesels were badged as "240D 3.0".)

Wondering if it would make much of a parts car for my 83 300D turbo, Did not look too bad, I think it is naturally aspirated, I would not expect it to have parts for the cruisero, but if it had the same stuff for the elec windows and door locks t'would work. Dunno what he is asking, but it has sat in a field for a while. Any advice would be welcome.
If anyone in Western Canada would be interested, it looks like a fairly easy vehicle to get back in roadworthy shape.
