66 Mercedes 250SE Coupe One of Kind for Restoration Project

66 Mercedes Coupe One of a Kind for Restoration Project Classic Mercedes Coupe (W 111) 66 250 SE with modified Tails and the Door Pane I will add a set of the factory 14 aluminum wheels in excellent conditions. I will also give you a set of 68 250 or 280 SE chrome bumpers in good conditions if you pay my asking price. This is a Project Car though it is drivable. It is a fun restoring I just restored one like this 67 250 SE Coupe what a beauty This was my second Mercedes to restore however I decided to liquidate all my classic collections including 73 Volvo 1800 ES Sport-wagon the last model which will be in the market for sale in a short time. The model is the most beautiful coupe Mercedes ever hand build and few were imported to USA and even fewer remains in Tennessee or Georgia. The special character of the doors the structure inside of them are solid thick cast iron that are so solid that after over 50 year uses they are still perfectly close and fit perfectly PLEASE NOTE this car was restored and modified by a local classic car restorer in California on the tail lights as seen in 1970 s and the door panels were replaced with a teak wood plywood and the original wooden center tray was replaced with a contemporary formed one however the rest of teak-wood dash board area are still originals. The body has a minor dents though very straight and has some minor rusts on the trunk lid trunk room floor and about 4 of the left sheet metal supporter inside the left fender was eaten up by rust and the left-side thin sheet metal cover (not structure) under the kick panel was rusted and few minor spots on the body. The entire body is solid no rust on the floor pans or any other places as I see. The paint is too bad though it should be repainted again for the former glory. Rust stop was coated several times on the area of rust that turns black primer. The trunk floors was treated with the same and black primer was coated. The original rear and front bumpers were very much damaged so I have a good replacement though they are from 68 250 SE model the bumpers were replaced with those ones from 1968. I have all the Mercedes original chrome emblems for the car. The side black lubber molds came off due to the after market things they are very cheap staffs not worthy of putting them on. The Interior All the Seats and Panels and part of the dash board are all genuine leather and teak-wood veneers the ceiling is still good though some stains on it the dashboard needs special repairs and restoration since some teak veneer woods are damaged with the sun so repairs and refinishing are required also needed are entire upholstery and carpeting. The Mechanical The Engine was rebuilt in the early 80 s before I got this and was smoking heavily till several years ago so I decided to get the head rebuilt in 2011 while I was living in California. It has a double chains driven SOHC straight 6 with a Bosch Injection System when no other car manufactures could match Mercedes technology. It has a dual exhaust system as the standard equipment some mufflers and pipes are relatively new. The Radiator is brass-made and relatively new. Allison electronic ignition system was recently installed that works excellent. A rebuilt Bosch injection pump was installed recently. The car runs relatively smooth and quite. There is a little oil leak from the front cam shaft seal area that can be prevented by an oil leak stop other than that there is none. though a good Mercedes mechanic tune up is recommended. Transmission (one of the first automatic Mercedes built for its emblem Automatic on the trunk lid.) is working good though you want to adjust its shifting from its 3rd to 4th gear does not shift quick enough. Breaks All 4 Disc Breaks A new rebuilt master cylinder and 4 break hoses were replaced new and flushed all the metal break pipes and bled the entire system completely with fresh break fluid just recently and all the 4 calipers were overhauled recent year therefore the breaks work just fine. Steering box seems to need to get rebuilt has excessive play. Suspensions are all independent The rear system has an unique system that works fine. I recommend that you consider getting the wheel alignment done and greasing up all the lube area. A C System was installed new during the 1980 s restoration by the dealer in Central California and so is the radiators. You just need to vacuum the system completely to 30 Hg. and recharge it. Have the original pink slip ownership certificate signed by the previous owner.
