Vehicle Detail
1970 Mercedes Benz 300 SEL 3.583,729 Miles (134,750 Kilometers)This 1970 Mercedes Benz 300 SEL 3.5 is truly a very rare find !!! This European version W109 sedan spent most of its life in Switzerland until the time it was imported to the US in 1991. Family owned (father-son) since new, and it has been meticulously maintained since a very high quality light restoration approximately 10 years ago.Since the time of the restoration the vehicle has been garage kept and covered at all times in a climate controlled environment.The vehicles Green Moss (Code 834) paint is in showroom condition, and is well complimented by show quality chrome trim all around.The matching Continental tires are at greater than 75% all around and the painted Mercedes Benz hubcaps are excellent condition all around.The body of the car is absolutely rust free, and other than a very few small paint chip touch ups the body is near flawless.The interior is amazingly clean and the burl wood dash inlays and door trim is in exceptional condition and glossy with the correct patina of a garage kept 45 year old car.The vehicles seats are firm and supportive and the leather is clean again with the expected beautiful patina of well maintained 45 year old leather.The vehicles carpeting and headliner in excellent condition all around as well as the door panels, entry thresholds, and door jambs . Mechanically the car needs nothing, and it runs and drives as nice as it looks.The car accelerates without hesitation and the gear shifts are smooth through all the gears.The air suspension is in perfect working order and the vehicle delivers an amazing ride.All four air bladders were replaced in the past 10 years as well as all of the flex hosing in the suspension.The transmission was also rebuilt at this same time, and the brakes and master cylinder were replaced as well as a OEM exhaust.The vehicles engine bay is meticulously clean and original as well as the trunk.The undercarriage tells the true story of its fair weather usage. (see photos)All power options function 100% and the original Becker Stereo sounds great and power antenna functions perfectly. The vehicle comes with 3 keys, original books, and service records (Switzerland), W109 Shop Manuals, original spare tire, and suspension blocks, and jack.I have previously owned both the 300 SEL 6.3 and the 300 SEL 4.5 and I am aware of the scarcity of finding these cars in this condition.This is one of the finest W109 vehicles I have seen in the past 25 years !!!Please come see and determine the vehicles value for yourself. Located in Tinton falls, NJ 07753Inspections are welcome and encouraged.This car looks even better in person than the photos depict.Contact Dean at 848-459-7776
