Vehicle Detail
1972 Mercedes-Benz 250 Specifications Engine Location Front Drive Type Rear Wheel Body / Chassis Steel unibody with auxiliary front frame Production Years for Series 1968 - 1972 Price $12,000.00 Weight 3160 lbs | 1433.352 kg These wonderful cars have been overlooked by collectors until recently. This car offered here would just be what a collector lusts for: all original Coupé, never restored, nor needing restoration, a car that looks like it just left the showroom floor. The only replacements have been Rubber seals, Hoses, Lines and Repaint. This 250C/ W114 certainly is one of the finest examples of Mercedes well built, well designed, Saloon/Pillar less, Classic Generation. The W114 is one of the most comfortable cars in the world. The early (pre-'74) 250Cs, like the one shown here, are far more desirable than the later cars. They don't make 'em like this anymore. You sure to enjoy all of the Admiring looks thumbs up, and many smiles along the way confirm what we knew all along: everybody loves this car! Mercedes stepped up to the plate and installed the famous M130, 2.8-liter SOHC power plant, topped by dual Zenith 2-barrel carburetors, right from the factory into all US-models. No computer, no electronic throttles sensors, no fuel injection, but enough power from its 157 Teutonic horses to cruise at triple-digit speeds on the Autobahn, all day long. Engine compartment is spotlessly clean, even in the most remote corners. There are no dings, dents, or scratches anywhere. The doors still close with the characteristic bank vault sound no automaker has ever been able to copy. Clean headliner, perfect dash that has been protected by a custom dash mat. Gauges look absolutely new. Instruments, lights, and switches, power windows: everything works flawlessly, even the clock. Aftermarket Mercedes brand plush mats have protected the factory carpeting, keeping it like new. Lift the carpets, and you'll see flawless factory paint on the floor pans. It doesn't get any better than this! Seats, side panels, carpeting, weather-stripping . . . everything proves to be fantastically preserved. In the trunk; its rust free floor is still protected by the--beautifully preserved--original gray rubber trunk mat. The original spare, jacking equipment, and all the 'hidden corners' nobody cares to inspect are clean as a whistle. The 250C rides on stock 6 x 14" steel wheels, complete with painted and polished factory aluminum wheel covers. If you are a person of impeccable taste, someone who appreciates a pampered survivor more than today's dernier cri which fades so quickly, this rare Mercedes Hardtop might be just the car for you. If you enjoy the unhurried lifestyle of old, cruising along quiet country lanes, side windows lowered, a warm spring breeze tugging at your hair, you might fall in love with this unique automobile. If you love German solidity and value a car that's sophisticated in design, but mechanically straightforward, you could fit the owner profile of the 250C Engine Engine Configuration I Cylinders 6 Solid valve lifters Aspiration/Induction Normal Displacement 2778 cc | 169.5 cu in. | 2.8 L.
