???? Honest Notes

• The rear windows are currently up and secured, but the motors are non-functional.
• Custom wood slats replace the original rear package shelf (the original shelf is included if you prefer to restore it).
• The rear speaker grilles have deteriorated from sun exposure, though the original speakers are included.
• As with any classic of this age, there are minor paint chips and light scratches.
• There are no major signs of rust on the body or undercarriage. Despite being driven year-round through sun and snow, the car receives a deluxe car wash with wax after every drive before being returned to the garage, preserving its excellent condition.
• For over two years, I’ve driven this car daily with my family, and it’s proven to be safe, dependable, and trustworthy in all conditions.

???? A Classic You Can Drive, Enjoy, and Make Your Own

This is the kind of car you can feel good about buying and driving — a true classic that turns heads and starts conversations, yet still functions as a comfortable, dependable daily driver.

Whether you want to restore it to its original glory or add a few modern conveniences to suit your lifestyle, this 300SEL gives you a solid platform to make it your own.

I’m simply moving on to my next car project — but this one has been a pleasure to own and drive, and I’d love to see it go to someone who’ll enjoy it as much as I have.
