Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
I am the second owner of this car, was given to me by a very good friend when his wife bought
a new one.
The motor was completely rebuilt in 2009 by Harry De Boer in Winchester, CA.
I paid 2500$ for the motor. A HD trans. from a 560 SEL was installed and works perfectly
but it does have a small fluid leak from the front seal, it was replaced but it must have been
defective. Mr. De Boer was going to replace it again but unluckly (specially for him)
he suddenly passed away. The parts I replaced since I owned the car are the radiator,
brass not plastic, over 300$ worth; brakes, usual upkeep, motor and trans.
The odometer broke, the whole unit was replaced with a used one but it quit working
almost immediately. Found out that is a common problem for the Mercedes of that period.
The car has never been out of CA. for any extent of time. That's why the paint is sun burned.
It has new tires, maybe 500 miles on them. The original radio and antenna work,
windows and everything I can think of works. It passed the smog check when I first registered it,
should pass now.
I can no longer drive it as its very hard for me to get in the driver's
seat and even worst getting out.
