History of this car - 1967 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 250SE This car was purchased by my mother in 1971, the car had less then 5,000 miles on it . My mom drove in in and around Pasadena California for the next 16 years. With just 72,000 miles she stored the car and purchased a brand new Mercedes. The car sat in storage for 25 years until last month. She would like to now like to sell the car to some one who appreciates it. This car is a virtual time capsule with most of the car as it was in 1967. This 1967 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 250SE is a beautiful, complete example, well maintained low-mileage car. Equipped with Mercedes-Benz's highly regarded 4-speed automatic floor shift transmission , it boasts , Kuhlmeister air conditioning, beautiful wood interior trim, fog lights, power windows, power steering and a multiband Becker “Wonder Bar” stereo.

The package also includes the original warranty book, M-B dealer map, original spare tire, rim and trunk mat.

Car has a few door dings that can be repaired. Hood and top of front fenders were repainted by the dealer in 1980 as a ladder fell on the hood of the car. Very little damage but they suggested that the hood and top of fenders be repainted. 30+ years later there so cracking in the paint on the center of the hood. Lights All the exterior lights work on the car. Both the front orange turn signals and back red brake lights are perfect with no sun damage. Glass All the glass is perfect on the car.

Less then 5 miles on the tires. Interior General interior is in excellent to very excellent as only one person was in this car most of the time or for the past 25 years no one has been in it so there is very little ware on anything Seats Seats look almost brand new. One small (1) inch cut was repaired 40 years ago other wise perfect. Dash All in working order and in excellent shape Headliner Excellent condition. It is coming down a little in the back around the back window. I will fix this. Carpets The carpets are in excellent condition, no holes, stains, great even original color.

The only item that is not original are the horns, these were replaced about 25 years ago with aftermarket horns. Transmission Optional 4-speed auto with floor shift. Car shifts fine and has never been rebuilt. The trans clunks a little when put into park. I believe this is from 25 years of sitting. Leaks This car has no leaks anywhere!

On Nov-17-12 at 11:12:18 PST, seller added the following information: Additional information: I have been asked for more detailed information on the wood trim on the inside of the car. After looking there is more wood trim then I thought. Here is a breakdown: Dash - wood is very nice shape, no cracks or bad spots. The clear coat over the wood could use a cleaning. Front pillers - wood is very nice shape, no cracks or bad spots. Top of Dash - Wood is a little cracked and discolored from the sun on the right and left sides. The center looks good. Door window frame wood - Very nice with a few little chips. Please ask any questions and I will do my best to answer and can send pictures if toy would like On Nov-18-12 at 09:07:30 PST, seller added the following information: - Yes the vehicle is registered and has current tags. On Nov-19-12 at 09:07:07 PST, seller added the following information: Per request, I have added the following photos: Headliner, Very good condition. It just has and area in the back where it has come un-tucked from the rubber. I tried to put in back but I think I need a special tool. Spare tire and jack, look very nice Night shot with headlights on showing all work Interior shot from passenger side. MB books that came with the car. I am also putting together another packet of photos available by email as several requests have come in for more shots of the motor and interior. I will take them today and post an email or a like to go to. On Nov-21-12 at 09:35:58 PST, seller added the following information: I have been asked by several bidders for more photos of the Interior and the engine bay, please see the following link to more photos. I would be happy to add more by request. http://s1283.beta.photobucket.com/user/californiaredlines/library/ On Nov-24-12 at 08:13:47 PST, seller added the following information: I have been asked for information on payment: A $500 dollar deposit is required with in 48 hours via Paypal with the balance in a Money Order or Bank Check prior to picking up the car. Bidder: I would ask that if you have a feedback score of less then (10) that you contact me prior to bidding. On Nov-25-12 at 06:29:29 PST, seller added the following information: Yes, As the photos show the front of the car Hood and top of both fenders are a little dull. Per the above write up in the paint condition area, a ladder fell on the car 30 plus years ago and the dealer insisted that the hood and top of the front fender be repainted. Their work has not held up as well as the original German paint as on the rest of the car. I would be happy to provide more photos for you, just send me your email address. On Nov-26-12 at 07:59:10 PST, seller added the following information: Please note, we have received several emails with offers to stop the auction with a cash offer. I presented these to my mother and she was very happy with the offers but does not think it is fair to end a auction where people have bid already so she would prefer to let the auction go to the end. My Mom is actually more concerned that the photos of the front of the car (Hood and top of the front fenders) do not show that the paint is dull. I explained to her that we discussed this in the write up and took many photos to show this. After thinking about this she would like to do the following to make sure the person who wins the car has the money to repaint the (Hood and top of the front fenders). Per her request, the winner of the auction will receive $500.00 credit for paint. This will make her feel better as the current auction price is already more then she paid for the car in 1971. To Recap- The winner of the auction will receive $500.00 upon payment and pick up of the car. The money is for paint. This was not done to make people bid more and the offer applies to the current high bid. She just wants to be fair to everyone looking at the car.
