Mercedes 500sec

Description for Mercedes-Benz 500-Series 1985

Here is an opportunity to purchase a true collector Mercedes 500 SEC in wonderful condition. As a long time Mercedes enthusiast, I spent nearly a year on this project. The car was in great condition when I started the refurbishment/restoration project. Countless hours of meticulous attention has been invested into this car. Next was refreshing the "Euro Tuner" body kit by one of the PNW best autobody/custom shops then off to a Mercedes-Benz specialty repair shop to perform numerous services, repairs and safety checks preparing the car for market. The condition of this SEC shows pride in ownership by the previous owner for nearly 25 years. The interior burlwood accents are stunning for their age along with the original seats, carpets, glass etc. Everything works as it should on this fine car. Interior, engine and drivetrain are completely stock without any modifications. Below are the particulars of recent service and repairs. As always, all Mercedes I represent have been thoroughly gone thru to insure the new owner will have a classic MB with "all" services up-to-date. Pre-purchase inspections are welcomed as I take pride in representing only the finest classic Mercedes.

This car was originally purchased new in Vancouver, BC from local Mercedes dealership. Original owner had the wheels and body kit installed by Vancouver tuner that represented AMG and Lorinser products. Being a Canadian destined Mercedes it was equipped from the factory with rare Euro headlights as they include daytime running lights required in Canada. The original speedometer is in Kilometers (KM's) and reads 121,031KM's which when converted to MPH is 75,205. I can assist new owner to acquire and install US style MPH speedometer/odometer if requested. The VIN# does indicate it is a US 50 state car and should meet emissions anywhere still required in the lower 48 states. All photos were taken recently so there are no surprises. I have an additional 80+ photos available for serious buyers. Clean, clear Washington state title in my name. I know about every inch of this car and with confidence can answer most questions or address any concerns. Feel free to give me a call. Thanks for looking! Mike 206-349-9630
