LOUIS, MISSOURI. THIS INDIVIDUAL PAID EXTRA FOR THE EUROPEAN DELIVERY OPTION AND TOOK PHYSICAL DELIVERY IN EUROPE ON APRIL 22, 1963. THE ORIGINAL SERVICE BOOKLET SHOWS THE FIRST SERVICE AT J. NOVELLI MERCEDES-BENZ IN NICE. THE SECOND STAMPING IN THE SERVICE BOOK SHOWS THE ORIGINAL OWNER’S LOCAL (AND MOST FREQUENTED) DEALERSHIP ON THE 17TH OF JULY, 1963 WITH 3,631 MILES. NOT A BAD WAY TO SPEND A VACATION WHEN BUYING A NEW CAR!!! -ACCORDING TO AVAILABLE SERVICE RECORDS, THIS CAR REMAINED IN THE POSESSION OF IT’S ORIGINAL OWNER UNTIL AT LEAST NOVEMBER 9, 1982 WHEN IT WAS SERVICED WITH ONLY 90,000 MILES!!! IT WAS THEN BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN TRANSPORTED VIA TRUCK TO A SUBURB OF ORLANDO, FLORIDA WHEN THE OWNER RETIRED. THE CAR WAS THEN USED ON A LIMITED BASIS AND SHORTLY AFTER ACHIEVING 94,207 MILES, IT WAS PARKED IN THE BARN (ASSUMED THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER SIMPLY STOPPED DRIVING AT A CERTAIN AGE) AND WAS LEFT THERE FOR MANY YEARS. THIS CAR WAS LONG FORGOTTEN UNTIL THE OWNER’S FAMILY MUST HAVE DECIDED TO SELL THEIR HOUSE OR SETTLE THE ESTATE. THE MERCEDES REMAINED IN THEIR POSSESSION FOR 20+/- YEARS UNTIL BEING SOLD TO THE SECOND OWNER (PRESUMED) AS VERIFIED BY THE FLORIDA TITLE SHOWING MISSOURI AS THE PREVIOUS TITLE STATE. -THE SECOND OWNER- ANTHONY C. OF ORLANDO, FLORIDA OWNED THE CAR FROM +/- 2003-2008 WHEN I PURCHASED IT FROM HIM. HE SIMPLY DID NOT HAVE TIME TO WORK ON THIS CAR AND BRING IT BACK TO LIFE AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR SO MANY YEARS. CONDITION: -THIS CAR IS CURRENTLY IN RUNNING CONDITION (RUNS GREAT) AND IS IN NEED OF PROPER RUST REPAIR. IT IS BEING SOLD AS A RESTAURATIONSOBJEKT AND WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT PROJECT FOR THE SPRING AND SUMMER MONTHS. ALTHOUGH IT MAY LOOK NICE WITH ALL OF THE BARN DUST AND PATINA, THIS AUTOMOBILE WILL REQUIRE A FULL RESTORATION BEFORE IT CAN BE DEEMED ROADWORTHY. -RECENT SERVICES ALREADY PERFORMED INCLUDE: MECHANICAL EVALUATION, TUNE-UP, TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER (PRIOR TO ENGINE STARTUP), MAJOR FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE AND MECHANICAL PUMP REBUILD, IGNITION SYSTEM REBUILD, OIL CHANGE, ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTIC, STARTER REBUILD AND PERFORMANCE OF MERCEDES-BENZ SPECIFIED SERVICE UPDATE. ALL WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED WITHIN THE PAST 2.5 YEARS. THIS CAR WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT CANDIDATE FOR A CONVERTIBLE (CABRIOLET) CONVERSION. DON'T SPEND $60,000-$70,000 WHEN YOU CAN HAVE ONE FOR A FRACTION OF THAT!!! MAKE IT A DRIVER OR RESTORE TO PERFECTION- THE CHOICE IS YOURS!!! PAPERWORK: -THIS CAR COMES WITH ALMOST $4,100.00 IN SERVICE RECORDS. -CAR WILL BE SOLD WITH A STATE OF FLORIDA TITLE WHICH IS STILL IN THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S NAME. THIS IS THE PERSON IN WHICH I HAVE ACQUIRED THE CAR FROM. THE TITLE WILL ALSO BE ACCOMPANIED BY A DEALERS REASSIGNMENT FORM FROM ME (THE SELLER)- MADE OUT TO YOU (THE BUYER) AND A BILL OF SALE. NOTES: -THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUN OFF OF A CUSTOM FUEL CART THAT I HAVE BUILT WITH A 1 GALLON FUEL CELL AND AN ELECTRIC BOSCH FUEL PUMP AS SEEN IN THE PICTURES (NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SALE). IN ORDER FOR YOU TO START THE CAR, YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE THE EXISTING ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP REBUILT AND REPLACE THE HARD FUEL LINES (FEED AND RETURN). -THE ALTERNATOR IS MISSING.-THE RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT IS BROKEN-THERE IS A DENT ON THE LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL (NOT EASY TO SEE IN THE PICS) -THE CHROME TRIM IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND SHINES EVEN BETTER IN PERSON THAN IT DOES IN THE PICTURES!!! IT IS DEFINITELY DRIVER QUALITY WITH ONLY A MINOR DING AND SCRATCH ON THE REAR BUMPER AND VERY LITTLE PITTING. SOME ELBOW GREASE AND A FEW HOURS WOULD REALLY HELP EVERYTHING TO POLISH OUT NICE. -THE ORIGINAL RADIO IS PRESENT.
