HERE IS A VERY NICE 1968 MERCEDES-BENZ 250SL. FINISHED WITH A WHITE EXTERIOR AND NAVY BLUE INTERIOR WITH A NAVY BLUE MATCHING TOP. DRIVEN 68,004 WELL SERVICED MILES SINCE NEW. OPTIONS INCLUDE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AIR CONDITIONING, EUROPEAN REAR KINDER SEAT AND MUCH MORE.
THIS 1968 250SL COMES WITH WELL OVER $20,000 IN RECENT RECIPTS AND IT HAPPENS TO LOOK AND DRIVE VERY WELL. WHILE NOT A CONCOURS EXAMPLE, THIS 250SL IS AN EXCELLENT DRIVER THAT IS A LOT OF FUN TO DRIVE!!!
SOME RECENT SERVICE WORK INCLUDES A NEW MAIN ENGINE SEAL, FRONT BRAKE PADS, PETRONIX IGNITION SYSTEM, NEW FUEL PUMP, O-RINGS, AIR FILTER, NEW GASKETS AND MUCH MORE. THE 2.5 LITER INLINE 6 CYLINDER ENGINE IS STRONG AND POWERFUL AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PROPERLY THROUGH THE GEARS. THE STEERING IS TIGHT AND PRECISE AND THE BRAKES FEEL JUST GREAT. THE GAUGES ARE FUNCTIONING AND THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IS WORKING AS IT SHOULD AS WELL. THIS REALLY HAPPENS TO BE A VERY NICE 250SL TO DRIVE.
THE INTERIOR IS REALLY NICE. IN 2014, THE SEAT BOTTOM PADS WERE REPLACED AND THE SEATS WERE RE-TRIMMED IN THE PRESENT BLE LEATHER. A BECKER RADIO IS PRESENT AND WORKING AND THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL AUXILIARY INPUT AS WELL. THE EUROPEAN REAR KINDER SEAT IS A NICE INTERIOR ADDITION AS WELL.
THE EXTERIOR IS WHAT REALLY SETS THIS PARTICULAR 1968 250SL APART FROM THE REST. THE WHITE PAINT IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION (SEE PICTURES) WITH NO MAJOR SCRATCHES OR DINGS ANYWHERE AT ALL. THE CHROME AND BRIGHTWORK LOOK GREAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS A BIT OF OVERSPRAY TO BE NOTED. THE BLUE CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS INTALLED IN 2014 AND THE CAR WAS UNDERCOATED IN 2014 AS WELL. THE WHEELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (SEE PICTURES, WERE PAINTED TO MATCH THE INTERIOR AND TOP) AND EVEN THE TIRES ARE GREAT.
THE 1968 MERCEDES-BENZ 250SL "PAGODA BODY" REALLY IS THE ULTIMATE VINTAGE COLLECTABLE CAR. IT HAS TIMELESS LOOKS, GREAR PERFORMANCE, A CONVERTIBLE TOP FOR FUN IN THE SUN AND ALL OF MERCEDES-BENZ LEGENDARY BUILD QUALITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP. I HAVE OWNED A LOT OF DRIVER QUALITY OLDER SL'S, BUT THIS ONE HAPPENS TO LOOK AND DRIVE AS NICE AS ANY. THERE ARE A FEW "APOLOGIES" TO THIS 250SL THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION. THE HARDTOP HAS GONE MISSING AND IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE CAR, THERE IS A BIT OF SURFACE CORROSION UNDER THE RUBBER MAT IN THE TRUNK AREA (HAPPENS TO ALMOST ALL OF THEM) AND THERE IS A BIT OF OVERSPRAY IN THE DOOR JAMBS HERE AND THERE. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME (MATT 516-658-4048) WITH ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. I AM LISTING THIS EXCELLENT DRIVER QUALITY 1968 MERCEDES-BENZ 250SL WITH A VERY FAIR RESERVE SO PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU INTEND TO BUY!!! DON'T MISS THIS ONE!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
