Sedan

6.9

Clear

A rare 6.9 EURO model for sale. Always a local Bay Area, California car since import. Have many records back to import. 2nd owner purchased from original owner (friend) over 20+ years ago. Used lightly as a commute highway car. One of the Mercedes Benz classics that will also let you go 90+ mph and feel like you are going 40 mph! Nice interior. Very nice straight body. Only one small dent in drivers side bumper. Drivers side seat does need to be rebuilt with new springs etc....it was the only seat that was really every used. Put on non-op in 2009 and has not been running since and just sitting at home. Never abused....was owned by a great and fun dad that was owner of a Shell Service station in Portola Valley/Woodside, Ca for 35 years who loved cars and kept buying new ones....but never gave up the old ones! Great car for the person who loves the 6.9 and wants a rare Euro to put back on the road and play with! Happy to show car to you if you are local or can arrange to show a person of your choice (mechanic or other) if desired. Car is sitting in Morgan Hill/Gilroy, Ca. and would need to be picked up and towed to new owner or by transport. Happy to work with either. Happy to take more pictures and answer questions - but be aware that I am not a mechanic myself. Very low reserve :-) Thanks for looking :-) On Jan-18-13 at 20:09:29 PST, seller added the following information: Update: 1/18 pm - more pics added from today. New pic also showing 2nd minor dent in back bumper - so small one on passenger side rear and small one on left of center in rear (how did dad do those....no-one will ever know! lol). Front seats always covered by custom sheepskins and hard to pull off...however 2 pics do show condition of corner of seats...1 pic shows small tear on drivers seat. Other pics show other areas of interior. Minor rust around sunroof shown - I recall that sunroof when open makes you feel like you are outdoors - large is the size!....lol...will update with further pics and info on other documentation we have on the car etc. in coming days. On Jan-19-13 at 20:03:30 PST, seller added the following information: 2 additional pics added. One of trunk area - very clean. Second new pic shows a number of misc. odd parts for the car brand new and not used yet...Mercedes wheel caps...hoses...and what appears to be brand new trunk seal.On Jan-21-13 at 09:40:53 PST, seller added the following information: 2/21 update - One person had the question on if this is a non-op car in California - yes....car has been only in Bay Area, California since import into California and was non-oped here in California when Dad simply moved on to other cars that interested him :-) Also have a picture that shows entire rear end with bumper and trunk but not able to add as we are at limit of pics on ebay...email me should you like to see the picture.On Jan-22-13 at 23:57:53 PST, seller added the following information: Someone asked if the car has the safety warning triangle attached in the trunk to the back of the trunk lid - yes it does.
