Two owner California car... I bought it in 1991, so 32 years in my care.It was originally sold new to the first owner by San Diego Mercedes.Everything works from the rear reclining seat to the clock. It has a 1991 380 SEL 11 speaker (sub-woofer) stereo stereo system with new speakers, 250 watt and 300 watt amplifiers. Remote door locks and security system. Expertly maintained by professionals.1983 Mercedes 380 SEL new engine (long block) 1999 (about 90,00 miles on it. Engine # to be listed soon). The engine starts from a cold start with a twist of the key in less than a second (video coming).This is not a complete list of work by far (available) but this short list will give you and idea of care and maintenance:Rebuilt transmission. Additional $7,026+ fairly recent maintenance (invoiced). I used to put about 2,000 miles a year on this Sunday driver, sometimes less. I haven't worn out a set of tires in over 15 years. I replace them every 7 years because they get old. Lots of maintenance! Complete new AC system (compressor, dryer, condenser, high pressure hose, etc.). New tires (less than 3,000 miles), chrome wheels. New automatic door lock vacuum actuator. Other maintenance: Starter, complete brake job - German parts; calipers, rotors, pads, lines, wheel bearings. Brakes upgraded to 1991 specs and parts (larger rotors and calipers for added safety.) New Bosch fuel pump. New transverse manifold pipe (a $1,300 part) The car passes CA smog. Plus lots more... weather stripping, etc... I found a Mercedes I've been looking for for two years and decided to let go of this member of the family. I’m 76 years old and my kids won't take care of it the way I do so I'm selling it (Not that they don’t want it! They grew up in the back seat!). A/C ice cold, Looks and drives great, Must see, Never seen snow. No accidents, Non-smoker, Runs good; doesn't burn or drip a drop of oil. If you're looking for the iconic, classic Mercedes 126 long body style that you can drive with pride this might be it for you. This is NOT a restored car... it is a well maintained car. This car is not meant to sit in a garage and look pretty... it's meant to be driven and seen. You'll get stopped constantly and asked about it.(No new real mileage since 2017) PS. This is a Paul Rossi “cared for” car since 2005. He’s an old friend and an amazing automotive engineer.
