Description
Genuine European-market 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC finished in Anthracite Grey Metallic with Palomino interior.
This original Georgia car spent more than twenty years in storage before undergoing an extensive recommissioning. Considerable time and expense were invested in restoring the fuel system, including refurbishment of the fuel distributor together with replacement of the fuel pump relay and fuel filter. The V8 now starts readily, runs smoothly and is paired with a well-functioning automatic transmission.
Retaining its original paint, original Becker radio and factory sunroof, the car remains an honest, unrestored example with the patina expected of a forty-year-old grand touring coupe. The spare wheel compartment is clean, and the underside presents as solid.
As genuine European-market 500SEC models continue to become more difficult to source, this represents an appealing opportunity to acquire a dry-climate, original example that has already benefited from extensive recommissioning and is ready for sympathetic preservation or gradual improvement. Price US$14, 950.
