Description for Mercedes-Benz 200-Series 1968

This is the last of the finned "heckflosse" Mercedes-Benz. If you're looking it up, o few were made in 1968 it's better to search under 1967. It is very nice to drive; inmaneuvers easily in tightspaces, nd has an extremely smooth ride.We purchased this car from a dealer in FortLauderdale, lorida on eBay. Since then We've spent over $2700 in repairs and up grades: Two new Weber carbs, nbsp;four new Tires, oints, ondenser, lugs, lug wires, uel lines, uel filter, nbsp;brake lines, il filter, attery, ransmission oil, nd more. Our mechanic's handwriting is like a physician's, o what's listed are only the parts I can read.The odometer, nd speedometer are in kilometers. Actual mileage is likely to be different from odometer reading. The hub caps have rust, he driver's door sometimes only opens from the inside, he fuel gage works intermittently. Has some floorboard rust.Dimensions: weight 3347 lbs, ength 210.2", idth 70.1", eight 58.7", heelbase 133.9".We have $11,700 invested in the vehicle.
I learned to drive, n the sixties, n a car nearly identical to this. It is a very safe vehicle. My dad was in an accident in his 1965 230S heckflosse, nd the police said he would have been killed if it were any other car. He walked away without a scratch.
