Tirefriar

1975 w116 with 136k miles. Dry climate resident from new. California car that was taken to Arizona and just recently returned to Souther Cal. Not an inch of rust, super solid. Doors close with that old familiar vault-like sound and feel. Mostly original, except for the chrome wheel arches. Runs great, nothing is leaking, no smoke. All windows work albeit slowly as does the sunroof which is even slower. Carpets are in great shape. Headliner is tight, not sagging. Driver’s seat left bolster has a small hole from wear and the rear seat back cushion is dry cracked at the top (condition almost alway found in cars exposed to hot dry climates). Transmission shifts great, no bang8ng or hesitation. The only area needing attention is power steering which makes noise. Original Becker radio non-op as is the fuel gauge. Tires are in good shape.

Original plan was to modify the running gear. Pre1976 car was chosen as smog is not required on 1975 or older model years. However after seeing this car in person, driving it and taking it all in I decided that this car should be left in the original condition and go to someone who cherishes the w116 especially since these have become quite scarce. Although this would easily pass as a good condition #3 car according to Hagerty, I priced it at far condition #4 which is $6900. Clean California title in hand.
