Reserve lowered to sell Selling a Mercedes 250 SL 1967, with 124,600 Kilomethers ( approx 77,000 miles).Matching engine and body numbers. European model with European lights and gages. Car was initially white and painted red in the 80's. 6 cylinder fuel injection engine with automatic transmission, was running and kept stalling because of air in the fuel line.Brakes were serviced and worked well one year ago, still strong pedal, yet would recommend a re-inspection to be on the safe side.Ignition switch was broken and pulled off while a temporary switch was installed for starting purpose / Found and will include a replacement switch with a key that will require for you to install ( see pictures)Car has been in storage for 6 years and to make running should only require to clean and bleed air from fuel lines, since electrical ignition seems all very functional. I found an invoice dated from from February 16th 2012, where the previous owner spent $400 to get the brake line bled, oil and anti freeze replaced and fuel line cleaned and put on new spark plugs. The car was running when we got it this summer, yet the injection fuel line took air and we have not spent anymore time to repair. Some rust under the carriage mostly below and along lower parts of rocker panels as well areas from front and rear floor sections will need to be repaired. also some areas in the front driver wheel well as some rusted out sections.(see pictures)Trunk area very solid with some surface rust on one side. Beside these areas, good solid car all around with a fair paint showing its age.Door fitting and closing very smoothly and tightly.Only one very small dent on the trunk lead. ( see picture)Chromes starting to show some pitting on some parts but all fairly good and straight. ORIGINAL Leather interior showing its age, yet with no major tear. RARE REAR factory original leather PASSENGER JUMP SEAT.Carpets original and decent.Wood trims in dash weathered and delaminated. (I have a new set of woods dash, speaker cover and console, I can sell separately for $400)Soft top in Blue canvas with rear plastic window aged and dark, with little punctures, yet can still be serviceable. Can be turned into a driver fairly easily, yet can also be a good candidate for a Total restoration. Please note that all sale is AS IS, with NO WARRANTY of any kind.

Please feel free to ask me any questions to help your decision to bid!
