1970 MERCEDES-BENZ 300 SEL 6.3 SEDAN RESTORED CLASSIC PERFECT

Description for Mercedes-Benz 300-Series 1970

For sale is a wonderful example of legendary Mercedes 300 SEL 6. 3. MB factory code W109 E63. mother of all modern AMG 63-series. Sought after combination of electric sunroof and air-condition. Repainted 2011 in classic navy-blue colour code #904. First stamp in warranty book made by a Las Vegas Mercedes dealer in April 1970. Performance still pretty surprising for unexperienced drivers. Automatic gearbox including "kick-down" is working accurately. I only used kick-down at a speed of 50 mph in order to be nice to drivetrain. Still running 220 km/h on German Autobahn representing 137 mph. Car comes with 5 Fuchs-alloys in correct size of 6. '' x 14'' and 5 Michelin XWX tires. 4 additional factory steel wheels equipped with 195/70 winter tires. I purchased this car from a collector in California in 2010 with 55. 000 miles (odometer) and took it to Germany for a deeper technical restoration. The interior has been done completely in the U. S. before shipping. - new leather seats. armrests. B-columns and lower window-frame in blue leather OEM-quality- new velours carpets and isolating mats underneath- new headliner- grey alcantara interior for glove-box - restoration of all Macassar ebony wooden parts (dashboard. door trim. window-trim) at Madera Concept in Santa BarbaraThis mechanically excellent Mercedes was rust-free when I purchased it. so only a few conversions to European standard had to be made e. g. removing sidemarkers and license plate lights. In 2010 a thorough mechanical inspection has been made at HK-Engineering (specialized on 300 SL coupés and roadsters) followed by restoration and maintenance works on- fuel injection pump (full restoration with galvanized parts including detailled report)- renewal of water pipes- engine valve adjustement- oil-maintenance of axles and gearbox- air condition with refill of modern-standard liquidAll cylinders with good compression (report can be shown). Only 2. 000 miles driven after restoration. Air bellows are in good shape; main air valve (engine compartment) will be done before shipping. I have to let this beauty go for lack of time and space and decided to offer it back to the US-collector's market. It has seen Mercedes Benz plant in "Sindelfingen" twice in it's life: 1970 and 2010. I can assist with shipping. however all costs for shipping. handling and tax must be carried by buyer. If you need further information and pictures. please don't hesitate to ask !Happy bidding !
