1970 300SEL 6.3 outstanding!! 44k miles, 2-owner CA car

This is a lovely highly original 300SEL 6.3. A two-owner California car, this car has covered just 44,300 miles from new. It it remains in its original paint, and its chrome is original as well. The interior is substantially original as well, and the car is a beautifully preserved example that also runs superbly. The car is tremendously complete, with complete manual pack, service manuals, original sales literature, two sets of tools, and service records. Fitted with Becker Grand Prix radio. Over $33,000 spent on mechanical freshening in the last 8,000 miles and 5 years. Thoroughly sorted and runs superbly.

Sold new to Walter Bach of Bach Auricon (camera company) of North Hollywood, CA on 14th Jan 1970 and still on its original six digit blue plates. Fastidiously owned by Mr. Bach who extensively annotated the service manuals and owner's manual. Lots of recent work to AC, suspension, full stainless exhaust, brake system, valve adjustment, fuel system, injection setup, oil changes, vacuum system, motor mounts, rebuilt radiator, rebuilt instruments.

The car is in Alamo, CA
$49,500

Hello. Very nice example!
Some time ago I was getting gas on Redwood rd.in my 57 SV and a Guy came in with a nice S52 Z3M coupe.. I found it on a web site and emailed and \never heard back...

He had your handle your using on here.. Also I believe he has a son who was friends with my Buddy Bruce's son Spencer.

Wow, small world. Yes, that would be my father, and here's the car: http://www.themotoringenthusiast.com/cars/featured/isc
The car is pretty severely modified with supercharger, full chassis/driveline mods etc. and no, it's not for sale at the moment. I know Bruce and Spencer quite well, I've worked at Fantasy Junction since I was 16. SV? Sprint Veloce?
