1965 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series


1965 Mercedes-Benz 220SEb W111 Coupe!!!

This luxurious model was the last of the hand-built Mercedes. Only 13 cars per week rolled off the production line. Unlike other automobiles, these cars were classics the day they rolled off the production line, and have remained so ever since.

The W111 Coupe was first introduced in 1961 and was considered to be an immediate success. Road & Track magazine said" one of the best-looking body designs to come from any German concern." It is exquisitely proportioned and beautifully designed. Luxurious may very well be an understatement when describing this model!!!!

About the car:



Up for sale is Legendary Classic - rare and highly desirable W111 1965 Mercedes-Benz 220SEb Coupe.

Only 14,173 220SEb Coupe’s were made in the period of 1961-1965!The mechanical fuel injection, disc brakes and other improvements, made it the most sophisticated car on the road.

Today, she is 58 years old, and even after all those years, she still has that beautiful and timeless charm, and with its grace and beauty she will be stopping the local traffic and turning heads for years to come!! For a human being, 58 years is a good amount of time, but to an automobile it’s an eternity! The ravages of time aren’t just from nature. Tastes change, trends die, and once-envied designs have a way of looking absurd. Once in a while though, an automobile endures despite all this, and ultimately, becomes a classic. This Mercedes is that vehicle, and it is perfect example of the timeless German luxury automobile!


Its previous owner acquired this beauty in 1995, drove it for about a year when he parked it due to his health issues. This is a true barn find that is ready for its next chapter of life.


It is all compete, unmolested and its ready for straight forward restoration. It is sold as a Non-Runner, but the car does rolls and steers without any problems.

Original color of this beauty is Dark Bordeaux Red (paint code 573). Paint shows it decades old patina.

From whichever angle you look at this car, you are always struck by its racy elegance and aesthetic balance of stylistic elements. Doors open and shut nicely and tightly, and the body is nice and straight. Chrome is all compete, as well as the glass.

Undercarriage is original and unmolested. For the most part floors are good and solid. There are some common isolated rust issues from the car being stored for past 3 decades (please see pictures!)


-Interior


Interior is complete down to its original VDO Clock, and the radio but its showing its age and it will need to be reupholstered!

It also comes with rare Kuhlmeister Air Conditioning!

This Mercedes is perfect restoration candidate, as its all complete and it will only continue to appreciate in its value, as these cars are getting harder and harder to come by.

I can help with shipping arrangements to ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!!!!
