Classic Car Overview
The car is powered by the original 4.5L V8 paired with an automatic transmission. It runs flawlessly and is fully turn-keystarting easily, driving smoothly, and stopping exactly as it should. There are no mechanical issues or deferred maintenance, and nothing needs attention.
All servicing during my ownership has been handled by Pacific Motors in Santa Monica, a well-known Mercedes-Benz specialist. Upon purchase, I had all outstanding items addressed, including a steering column rebuild, brake service, battery replacement, and a full mechanical inspection. The car has no leaks, no overheating, no warning lights, and no drivability concerns. A complete binder of service records is included, along with the original sales ticket and factory manuals.
The Pine Green paint presents beautifully with a deep, even shine. There is a small dent on the front fender from a previous owner, which Ive left untouched as it does not affect drivability or overall appearance. The body is completely rust-free, with no history of rust repair. The trunk is spotless and includes the factory spare tire, jack, and tools.
The tan interior is in excellent condition with minimal wear. All features function properly, including power windows, heat, and air conditioning. The hardtop fits snugly, and the soft top is clean and operates smoothly. The odometer shows 103,xxx miles and is fully functional.
Tasteful upgrades include a discreet Bluetooth system (no visible modern stereo), a SunPro temperature gauge, and a vintage-style cassette head unit. These additions maintain the original look of the cabin while improving everyday usability.
Im selling the car due to an upcoming move and limited storage. It has been a joy to ownreliable, stylish, and funand is ready for a new owner to enjoy immediately.
