Contact | Website | Ebay Feedback

.....a W126 Mercedes-Benz spans several eras of automobile design: the Pre Computer/Electronic Ag, yet has a thoroughly Modern chassis and on road feel..... When driving a W126 car, every aspect of driving is under complete and delightfulcontrol : acceleration feels strong, steering precision is exemplary, and brake capacity is legendary....This is a car built to take on the Alps, but generally used in a much easier lifestyle.


The car listed here clearly has led a "sheltered" life : the all original (Desert Red) paint gleams (clearcoat peeling on the roof and door line-see pics), the chrome is near perfect, rubber trim and weatherstripping are virtually undamaged. We specialize in offering 100% rust free California cars, and this is yet another one. There is not one single spec of rust, blisters or bubbles anywhere whatsoever. Minimal nicks, chips, etc. NO dents. The wheel wells and undercarriage are out of this world clean.....This car is very nice......Clearlythe 105,573 original miles currently on the odometer are a low fraction of the Million Mile capability of these cars.
The engine sounds amazing and the idle is as smooth as a Rolex. The car runs extremely well, "like new". There is no smoke, leaks, overheating or strange noises. The acceleration is outstanding and the car has a substantial amount of power. The turbo kicks in right on time and operates just like it is supposed to. The brakes, steering and suspension are all in tip top condition. The car has been very well maintained and garage kept. The transmission shifts on the mark. As any driving time in the car will show, this car is tight and responsive, fun and rewarding to drive.The mechanical and electrical components are in good working order. The air conditioning blows cold and recently a new compressor was installed.
*Beautiful factory Bundt wheels with good tread remaining on all four matching Michelin tires.*Matching spare*All of the original glass is in good condition with no major imperfections*Stock Becker "Grand Prix" radio, antenna does not go up and the radio works intermittentlyand needs service*Some discoloration on the left rear corner back glass (see pics)
The Palomino (firm and comfortable) leather seats are in great shape and have been well preserved. The dash looks great! The carpeting is clean and in nice condition. Original floor-mats are included with the car. The zebrano wood has various imperfections; ie: chips, discoloration, fading, lifting, peeling, etc. The headliner, visors and door-panels are all good.
This is a lovely original California car that has barely even been broken in yet. The new owner will be pleased with the overall mechanical and cosmetic condition.
