THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owneris this classic 1992 Mercedes Benz R129 300SL roadster!
Finished in gleaming gloss black over black leather with black cloth soft top and black hard top, this 27 year-old 99.9% rust-free ALWAYS CALIFORNIA classic Benz has a bit over the 223,615 miles showing on the recently NON-working six-digit odometer. It sports a good running 3.0 liter inline six cylinder engine mated to the factory 4 speed automatic transmission with stopping power provided by four wheel disc brakes with ABS, electric tops, electric windows, cold a/c, updated cd stereo with flip up screen, chromed factory alloy wheels with good rubber, wind screen and more. It is being sold with clean and clear California title, current 2019 registration, three keys and original tool kit.
This is a great find for less than the price of the sales tax alone on a new base-level Benz!
THE BODY AND TRIM
This exterior of this classic R129 Benz is in very good to excellent virtually 100% rust-free condition overall with an excellent gleam to the paint finish. There is some wear and taped area on what looks to be the original soft top, some pitting on the little wheel holes along with various minor expected rock nicks, scratches and other light blemishes. Overall this is still one handsome classic!
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this non-smoker Benz is in good original condition overall with working power windows and tops, nice stereo, cold ac, working gauges and lights, electric seats and wind screen. Imperfections inside the car include a/c blower fan inop, weak stereo reception due to broken antenna [me going through the car wash], and some wear/tearing on the driver seat side bolster under the black sheepskin covers. This is still one quite comfortable and stylish cockpit!
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1992 Benz starts easily and runs fairly well with responsive acceleration, smooth shifting transmission, solid braking and tight sturdy ride. There is a slight driveline shudder under hard acceleration from a stop. Overall this is one respectable top down sunny afternoon cruiser that still garners attention from fellow motorists!
