Car History
The car spent 48 years in Sonoma County, California under the same owner, only being California blue plated once. The car was driven by Mr. Heinz until his passing in 2010 and only driven sparingly for the following 7 years.
**The mileage is very detailed and documented at 113,000 miles. Mr. Heinz did a great job documenting everything as well as keeping receipts. So unlike many early Mercedes, the mileage is known and exact!
Exterior
Interior
The interior is as clean as I've ever seen a car of this age look.
The car comes with vintage matching floor mats as well as spare tire cover— both in very good condition.
Mechanically
The car runs and drives.The handling is tight, the transmission shifts smoothly and the brakes stop on a dime. Runs free from any noises or squeaks. This is a very zippy car ... FAST.
With any old car, up-keep is needed and there will always be something to keep up on. For me, that’s half the fun.
Improvements
Over $1,500 in repairs in the last 6 months were well worth it! I've made several mechanic improvements to bring the car back up to speed.
The fuel lines have been replaced, the fuel tank has been cleaned out, both Zenith carbs have been completely overhauled, timed and cleaned as well. Additional improvements include:
With proper care, this car is only going to appreciate in value. I would be keeping it, but just don't have the garage space. It deserves a climate controlled garage. I’m hoping to find a new home that suits this car. I've been told by my master Mercedes Mechanic that this car could easily be a Concourse 1 vehicle with a minor investment.
