Description for Mercedes-Benz 500-Series 1985

HERE IS A 1985 MERCEDES BENZ 500 SEL GASI BOUGHT IT OUT OF A ESTATE NON RUNNINGIT CAME AS PART OF A PACKAGE DEAL WITH 4 OTHER VEHICLES. THIS BENZ HAD BEEN WELL CARED FOR BEFORE THE PASSING OF THE PARENTS. BUT HAD SAT IDLE FOR A COUPLE YEARS. WE DID A NEW CORRECT FUEL PUMP . CLEANED OUT THE GAS TANK. FLUSHED OUT ALL OF THE LINES. AND GOT IT TO RUN OFF A BOTTLE. WE THINK IT STILL HAS A ISSUE WITH A FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. IT WANTS TO RUN RICH AT IDLE. THIS INFO PROVIDED BY A LOCAL GUY THAT KNOWS A BIT ABOUT THESE. I KNOW VERY LITTLE. AND WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING OFF THE DRIP BOTTLE IT RAN QUIET AND SMOOTH. NO SMOKE. NO KNOCK. OR OTHER ODD NOISES. IT HAS ALL THE OPTIONS. SUN ROOF. GOOD LEATHER INTERIOR. T HAS THE MORE MODERN WHEELS. DON'T HAVE THE ORIGINALS. VERY NICE BODY AND UNDERSIDES. NO ROT IN THE DOG LEGS OR DOOR BOTTOMS. IT DOES HAVE ONE SPOT LOW DOWN ON DRIVERS SIDE WHERE THE JACK IS USED. MORE SURFACE RUST THAN DECAY. THE PAINT IS ORIGINAL AND STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. THE INTERIOR IS NICE. SEATS. HEADLINER. DASH PAD. AND DOOR PANELS ALL GOOD. SOME MINOR CRACKING AT THE CONSOLE WINDOW SWITCH AREA. I KNOW THIS VEHICLE WAS GARAGED FOR MOST OF IT'S LIFE. AND SURE LOOKS GOOD FOR 30 YEARS OLD. IT HAS THE TOOLS. NEW BATTERY174K. MILES. THE BACK GLASS HAS A SECTION THAT IS CLOUDY. ISOLATED TO THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE EDGE ABOUT 6" AREA. ALL THE OTHER GLASS IS GOOD. WE DID TRY THE ELECTRIC TOP AND WINDOWS AND THEY ACTIVATED. DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL. I FEEL WITH SOME WORK. IT CAN BE BACK ON THE ROAD. OR IF YOU NEED SOME NICE PARTS FOR ANOTHER BENZ. THIS CAN WORK. WILL NEED TOWED AWAY. GOOD TITLE IN MY NAME. IF YOU NEED IT TRANSPORTED SOUTH OF CINCINNATI OHIO I MAY BE ABLE TO HELP. I MAKE REGULAR TRIPS SOUTH THROUGH WV. VA. NC. SC. KY. TN. GA. AND NORTHERN FL. AND CAN DELIVER FOR A FEE. I CAN ALSO REFER YOU TO A COMPANY I HAVE USED FOR TRANSPORT. YOU ARE ALSO WELCOME TO COME AND PICK IT UP. I CAN STORE IT FOR 30 NO CHARGE IF NEEDED. THANKS. BOB513-248-4400
