VIN on title: 220S082985 This is a gorgeous 220S fintail that attracts a crowd every time out! Body: The 040 black paint still shows well since its only re-spray in 1983 (outer panels only – door jams and underside of lids sport original paint).  With a professional detailing, it will really pop.  Several minor door dings and scratches.  The chrome is in very nice condition (bumpers, grille, moldings).  Door and lid gaps are as they should be.  Rust is almost none existent with exception of a couple of small areas on the right front wheel well and drivers floor.  Fenders, rockers, doors, door jams, trunk are all solid and nice.

Mechanicals: Runs and drives well.  Everything appears to be original (no modifications).  Original engine starts at the turn of the key and sounds great with recently replace exhaust system (engine number 180.941.12.001267).  Manual choke works well (dual Solex carburetors).  Automatic transmission operates smoothly.  Brakes function fine.  Original Bosch high / low note horns. Tires are older but have good tread with wide whitewalls.  All original 13 inch wheels, hub caps and trim rings.  Four wheels are date stamped 8/62 (August 1962) and one factory replacement wheel dated 11/73.  Unobtrusive crack in right tail lamp lens.
