For Sale: 1965 Mercedes-Benz 220SE in Cadillac, Michigan

1965 Mercedes Benz 220SEb Sunroof Coupe The experience of owning a classic Mercedes Benz goes beyond the pleasure driving and gazing at their beauty. The stories about how you acquired the vehicle, its history and what you have done or plan to do to the car almost grant a rite of passage into a world that only a select few can appreciate. Yet when you are among friends with similar afflictions for the Marque, there is no better feeling. I humbly present to you a truly honest 1965 Mercedes Benz 220SEb Sunroof Coupe in its original Tunis Beige Metallic color (repainted at least once) and supple Black leather interior. This car was previously owned by 2 men who had a deep affection for the car evidenced by the extensive documentation from both owners that comes with the vehicle. The documentation begins with a letter from Mercedes in Germany acknowledging the original order placed from the factory and continues with all service work done since the car was delivered new. Nothing was done to this vehicle to make it look better than it really is. No tire shine. No stop-leak in the engine or transmission. No Paint touch-ups. The body has its share of bubbles some repairable rust spots, and chips. But it is a solid automobile. The paint surface to metal surface was measured and found to be consistent over the entire car in the .78 mm range indicating no body filler present under the paint. The vast majority of the vehicles 104,000 total miles were driven in it's first 8 years of ownership, with only 8,000 miles put on the coupe since it was acquired by its 2nd and most recent owner from Motor Works of Barrington, Illinois in April of 1973. Documentation shows the original owner was Dr. Nystul, a dental surgeon from Park Ridge, Illinois. However, the original order for the coupe was initiated in Paris, France by a female who resided at the same US address as Dr. Nystul. US delivery of the 220SE Coupe was arranged through the Chicago based Mercedes Benz dealer.
