This Mercedes belonged to my late father, who oversaw a complete mechanical rebuild of the engine and essential mechanicals. For the past five years, it has been started and driven around town several times a year. Be sure to see more photos and videos in the links below. Please ask any questions and I'll answer as best I can.
