Offered for sale is an absolutely gorgeous, extremely original, excellent 1966 Classic Mercedes 200 Sedan finished in a fun two tone blue and white, paired with its awesome interior (totally redone (at great cost) and new (see pics) and showing only 32101 miles on the odometer. Comes with original books and various receipts from over the years.The carpets and mats are in great condition. The interior looks like it just came off the assembly line. It even has the original working seat belts!The car runs as well as any Sedan I've ever had the pleasure of driving. Fit with new tires, a recently rebuilt starter and transmission, this is a very strongly maintained vehicle.Perpetually elegant while remaining undeniably classic, the “Heckflosse” (fintail) sedans are certainly one of the most beautiful and well-balanced cars Mercedes ever produced, epitomizing the mixture of graceful design lines and over-engineered, hand-built solidity for which the marque was - and is STILL - renowned.Colored in wonderfully era specific blue, the car’s body is free of any evidence of accidents or bondo. The glass is all in excellent original condition for its age, wing windows work great. Color matched hubs. The car’s interior is equally clean 9/10 The seats show and feel like a new car should, the carpets are in fantastic original condition, the headliner is nearly flawless and interior panels are excellent. The car is kept covered.Starting easily when warm, idling consistently and pulling strongly and smoothly through each of the gears, the engine has excellent, even compression. The car’s road manners are also fantastic, driving and braking straight, handling cleanly. Whether tooling through town on a weekend cruise or bombing down the highway at 80+ MPH, the car is an absolute joy to drive – modern enough to be comfortably enjoyed as a daily driver, but also visceral enough to provide that great vintage ride quality. Whether its next owner will be a weekend enthusiast or a serious collector, this gorgeous sedan is undoubtedly going to provide another 50 years of “pride of ownership” for it’s next owner. Considering their rarity and the astronomical prices that their cabriolet siblings are fetching, these "Heckflosse" models have long been undervalued in most classic car enthusiasts’ minds. That’s not always going to be the case, so it is many investors opinions that they represent excellent investment upside. Finding clean and turn key classics such as this is hard enough as it is, but finding a cosmetically and mechanically beautiful example such as this is truly a rare occurrence. Bid accordingly!
