Vehicle Detail
Stunning Mercedes Benz in rare horizon blue color and euro style. Documented one owner car owned and maintained always by a Mercedes Benz enthusiast in La Jolla California. A walk around the exterior shows that the original paint still maintains a beautiful luster. The chrome is beautiful and all lenses are in excellent condition. The only visible defects are some minimal stone chips around the grill near the headlamps (as would be expected on a 40+ year old car), All very minor imperfections but I believe in full disclosure. this gorgeous car turns heads every where it is driven! The interior is in excellent condition! The seats are firm, clean and show minimal wear. Dash cluster is clean, dash free of cracks, The original Becker radio is in tact and does work (was re-installed and needs to be hooked up). Air conditioning blows cold but not Ice cold and heater is toasty warm. Wipers, lights function as they should. Sunroof slides back hassle free. Carpets are clean with only minor stains present in the driver's area. Period correct tires all around.The doors close properly and have that tightness of a bank vault...a sound and tightness that not even the new Benzes have! Transmission shifts properly, exhaust system is correct, and the motor is in excellent condition; recent water pump and alternator. Mileage is approximately 49000 which is proven by all the maintenance receipts and DMV records. These cars were used all over Europe as taxis because of their simplicity, reliability and durability. You'll never beat the hare from the starting line but for sure, this tortoise will hum all day long and never miss a beat.
