1986 Mercedes 560 SEC- Full Service History!

Description for Mercedes-Benz 500-Series 1986

Very clean. honest. highly maintained. 1986 Mercedes 560 SEC. Complete service history since new. Original owner in Santa Barbara. CA happened to be William Conrad (of “ Jake and the Fat Man” TV Fame). Second owner was a retired attorney in Pasadena. CA. Second owner noticed a slight oil leak from one of the head gaskets and had the heads pulled of the car at about 125K miles and as part of that service had the heads rebuilt while they were off. (These engines easily see 250-300K miles before needing a valve job but the owner felt like having it done since the heads had to be pulled to fix the leak). Car was bought by me. the third owner. and brought to UT in 2012 and used as a daily driver for a short-time (I am a collector). All of the recent maintenance was performed in order to bring the car current not due to any failure or accident. All power equipment works and Automatic A/C blows cold. This car has been rock solid and has never left me stranded. In 1986. this was the pinnacle luxury coupe from Mercedes-Benz and remains a high style and comfortable cruiser today. Over $10K spent in recent maintenance. parts. and service. Recent service includes new front lower ball joints. nbsp; left and right track rods. coil springs. front Bilstein Shock Absorbers. rear Sachs self-leveling Shock Absorbers. Fuel Pump Check Valve. Valve Cover Gaskets. new front grille (original chrome grille was peeling). Full Synthetic Oil Changes. AMG Aero Wheels. Blaupunkt Head Unit w/ iPod and Bluetooth funtionality. /p>With regard to the AMG Aero wheel fitment. The fitment required no modifications to the car. Stock lug pattern. The wheels are 17" and are staggered offset (fronts are different offset than rear) as they should be. No rubbing whatsoever. The stock wheels and tires are included with sale. The AMG wheels were super hard $$ to acquire. I had them stripped and refinished (with polished lips). The original set of wheels are included with the sale. In terms of shipping the vehicle. I am willing to hold on to the vehicle for a couple weeks while shipment is arranged. Alternatively. as was the case when I bought it. you are welcome to come pickup in person and drive it to your location. I wouldn't hesitate driving this car anywhere. Included with the purchase is all of the service history and receipts from all three owners. Contact me for a copy of the last thorough mechanic inspection report.
