Vehicle Detail
This is one of the rarest versions of the classic Mercedes Benz W123 chassis. This was a European only spec car with the sportier 4 cylinder engine (same as the 190 sedan) with a 4 speed manual transmission and in the ultra rare CE or Coupe model. I have owned many rare Mercedes, but until I purchased this car, I had never seen one. In my opinion, this is one of the best looking Mercedes built in the 1980s. It has clean classic lines with pillarless coupe style. This is made even better with the clean looking slim-line bumpers, flush headlights, and the classic Bundt alloy wheels. This example is actually an 84 model (ebay will not accept gray market VIN numbers and makes you list as a 1980) and was brought over to Oklahoma by Cordel Foreign Motors. The first US owner took extremely good care of this rare Mercedes, pampering it and keeping it in excellent condition, serviced by local Mercedes Specialists. Cosmetically as you can see, It is in wonderful condition. The original Classic German Silver paint still holds a great shine and is virtually unmarked. The interior is nearly 100% original and still in excellent condition. Mechanically, it is in great shape having been well maintained and it shows. The engine runs very well with no smoke etc. The transmission and clutch are just as they should be with no bad noises or popping out of gear. It has been recently serviced and received a new factory Mercedes Fuel pump. If you are looking for one of the most stylish and well built Classic Mercedes for a reasonable price, this could very well be the car for you. While not perfect, it is a very well maintained and preserved specimin that is ready to use and show. Terms: Must be paid for within 5 business days.
