1972 Mercedes-Benz 250c coupe with Dual carburetor 2.8 SOHC Powerplant right from Factory CAR STARTS and RUNS. See Below The "Dictator," spent all it's life right here in beautiful sunny California. Built in November 1971, One of only 2,839 U.S. 250C Coupés built that year. This 250c is certainly is fine example of a vintage Mercedes that is rust free, new whitewall tires, untouched interior-down to working factory Radio with owners manual, and it's featuring clean and smooth repaint. 250C Coupé did not come equipped with a 2.5-liter engine when sold in this Country. Instead, Mercedes stepped up to the plate and installed the famous M130, 2.8-liter SOHC powerplant, topped by dual Zenith 2-barrel carburetors, right from the factory into all US-models. No computer, no electronic throttle sensors, no fuel injection, but enough power from its 157 teutonic horses to cruise at triple-digit speeds on the Autobahn, all day long. I bought this car from seller who was moving away to Idaho. Seller was restoring car but found that the head-gasket went bad by finding oil being milky. So I bought the car to fix it up since I always loved the 250c Coupe.Condition of 250c:*The engine starts but needs a head-gasket at the least. I started it about a Month ago for a short while and did not let even get hot. So The Buyer has to tow away bcs this is not a driving car-will need to be wrenched onto trailer. *The Paint shines well, looks sharp but their is a little small scuff by the driver side.
