Without a doubt, this is the most spectacular classic Mercedes you'll ever have the pleasure of driving! Get used to the thumbs up sign, you're going to see it at every light from ALL ages!
This is one of the more difficult vehicles for me to let go of. This car has something that VERY few of these old cars have, NO RUST! Look at the picture of the underside of the quarter panel, you can see EVERY spot weld! We also pictured all the flaws we could find from a cosmetic standpoint.
She starts and runs like a dream! Loads of power, always starts with no battery drainage issues, and cruises down the road like a Train! Yes, ALL the hydraulic items work as designed!!! That includes the front seats, sunroof, cowl vent, truck lid (watch those fingers), all windows, and the incredible reclining rear seats too!
I can't stress enough how straight the body is! I don't think I've seen another like it. This is the 3rd SWB I've had, the last one I had was rusty and sold at a RM Auction in Palm Beach for over $47,500 including the buyer premium! It has been said that if Mercedes had to build this car today it would cost over $1,000,000. As it was, in 1967 I understand it was over $40,000!
