Has to be one of the finest examples out there. Owned it for just over a year now and it’s pure adrenaline to drive...


This car gets a lot of love

About my 600.
Quote: Welcome! Let's hear more, particularly about the S600.
The gentleman I bought it from had it for 15 years, he took amazing care of the car and I have every service record even the fuel log. In maintenance alone not including paint re chroming the monoblocs new seats and refinished steering wheel and wood trim he spent $92,687, changed the oil every 5k full synthetic. Anything that he felt wasn’t right he had it fixed at an indie shop in Newport Beach Ca. Since I’ve owned it it hasn’t beat me up too bad, fortunately I’m a ASE Parts Specialist 25 years in the wholesale parts as an outside salesman and sales manager for 2 independent NAPA stores for 10 years. And prior tech and still do lots of side jobs. It has full Lorrinser exhaust, a bit quiet for my liking unless your really on it, which I usually am. Not real sure why the speed limiter says bellow at 135-140 everything I’ve read supposed to be 155mph. Need to find someone in So Cal willing to re map for me. I’ve changed fuel pump map sensors coolant tubes ( total nightmare ). Rear window regulator, brakes bearings and seals trans svc. diff svc. Plugs. Other than that runs great. It’s no garage queen, I drive it every day and get this it’s got 275,000 miles on original engine and trans. Never rebuilt no head gaskets nada. Got to change those fluids ! Enjoy your site, thanks for having me. I scout the Pick your Part wrecking yards often and have collected a lot of spares, I could maybe part with some it needed. Let me know and thanks again...
