Vehicle Details

A super rare 560 SEL with rear seat heating elements and foot rests (Diplomat edition). This vehicle starts and drives under its own power. It has a brand new battery (March 2026) and over $1,600 in brand new parts in boxes in the trunk (including 4 new tires). The transmission shifts properly across all gears.

1) the bad:

The throttle is stuck closed so it only goes under minimal rpm

It’s smoking upon start up

Needs new upholstery

Has surface rust

Has small leaks.

2) the great:

Very unique car which starts and runs and you get a ton of new parts in boxes as you start your project.

Moonroof works so do all of the electronics.
