NEW PHOTOS!! Please READ the entire description before bidding!!!! Bill of Sale only..... no title, not required in my state for a car after 25 years. please check with your state before bidding Good Luck! Hello and thank you for viewing my auction!!! This is my 1965 Mercedes 220 S. For you enthusiasts these cars are also known as “Fintails” and “Heckfloses”. It is a 111.012 code body style. Or in plain English a 4 door sedan with a B-Pillar. (I have a ton paperwork, pics and receipts for almost everything listed below) also all original brochures and manuals, some in German. Specs: Engine: Straight 6 cyl. Gas engine, no leaks, sounds great with about 87k original miles. It has 2 Stromberg carbs. (They are rebuilt but always need some attention every season as they are very temperamental) Just fired it up on a cool night and it was a little shaky. (They were tuned on a hot day.) Tranny: It’s a 4 speed automatic with no overdrive. If you know these cars you know it’s basically a 3 speed as 1st gear is only used if you select it. Tranny has no leaks and was rebuilt in the early 2000’s. Shifts as it should. Ok, enough technical talk. This car is great. I will drive it just about anywhere. It’s not a fast car so I’m not one to bring it on long highway trips but it’s capable. Get it on back windy roads and it’s like a go-cart. I am the 3rd owner of the car. The original owner had it until about 2000. The body was restored while with the original owner in the 1990’s. I have a huge photo album of the restoration that comes with the car and receipts totaling about $26,000!!!! I know the car will never be worth that kind of money so some of you may be wondering why such an investment was made. Well, so was I when I bought it and I don’t know the answer but the documents are all there. The interior is near perfect. I have no evidence of any interior restoration but it’s possible. Everything is there and it all works, even the am radio. Real wood is everywhere and it looks awesome! There is no a/c and the heater fan switch gets a little stuck so I try not to mess with it too much but that’s the extent of any issues inside. Now,,,,,,,,,, I am guessing here but I believe at some point after the restoration (maybe 2nd owners) the car spent time outside. There’s surface rust on the underbody and some rust on the lower rockers along with some paint oxidation. If you look at the photos from the restoration you may conclude this yourself as there’s no way this car would be anything but perfect if it were stored properly. (the price will reflect these issues) Seeing the car in person is the only way to truly see the imperfections I’m talking about. I Highly recommend any interested bidder do so. I also highly recommend you drive it if possible. The car is for sale locally and I have the right to end the auction at any time. I will not sell outside the lower 48 states and cannot arrange shipping of any kind. I’ve read every scam email out there so please save your “hello sir, I want to buy this car” emails for some other sucker. Paypal or Cash only!!!! 500.00 non refundable deposit through paypal with 48 hours of winning bid. 7 days to pay in full. I am flexible with pick up. The car will be stored safely in my garage. Email me if you want to come see the car or talk cash price. No tire kickers or dreamers. If you have the means to buy this car I have no problem spending time working with you and letting you examine the car. The car also comes with a muffler for a '66 220 in the trunk. The muffler on the car has a leak in the center. The hangers on the new muffler will need to be moved to make it fot, but the muffler dimensions are the same. Oh, always nice to say why anyone is selling something. Well, I have 5 cars total. I guess that’s says it. No time anymore.
