Mercedes 500SEC Euro Tuner Tribute - AMG - Lorinser - Zender

1985 Mercedes-Benz 500-Series Description

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. Over 200 hours in meticulous attention by myself has been invested into this car. Next was refreshing the "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 molestation or 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 are up-to-date. Pre-purchase inspections are welcomed as I take pride in representing only the finest classic Mercedes.

I didn't go too far with the wheels as many new owners tend to swap wheels to something different or more modern.
This car was originally purchased from Mercedes dealership in Vancouver, BC when new. Original owner had the body kit, wheels, emblems installed to customize it to be their own. Grill, wheels, emblems originally had gold accents which in todays world needed attention. Being a Canadian destined Mercedes it was equipped from the factory with the ultra rare Euro headlights as they include daytime running lights required in Canada. The VIN# does indicate it is a US 50 state car and should meet emissions anywhere required in the lower 48 states. All photos were taken yesterday 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 answer most questions or address any concerns. Feel free to give me a call as I speak much better than I type. Thanks for looking!
