Vehicle Description
1965 Mercedes 300SE 2DR Coupe PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW (
https://youtu.be/iiMoN0Y_kcQ ) For sale is a gorgeous 1965 Mercedes
300SE 2Dr Coupe. The original owner of this vehicle was Rose
Renero, she was the owner of the majority of farms in Modesto CA.
She was also German and had this vehicle imported from Stuttgart,
West Germany. During the late 80s she sold the car to the previous
owners that recently passed away. The second owner loved this car
and took very good care of it. His wife mentioned that he was very
particular with everything he did on the vehicle and kept detailed
records but unfortunately she no longer can find them. It has been
garage kept all its life and the vehicle truly has no real rust
anywhere. It was painted only once in the past and the seats have
been recovered roughly 15 years ago. The remainder of the vehicle
is all original. The body is very straight and in excellent
condition. The interior is all there and has held up well. Please
watch the video to see every inch of this Mercedes. It has what is
believed to be the original 3.0 liter M189 inline six engine paired
with a four speed automatic transmission. All the engine &
Transmission numbers are all available in the photo gallery on our
website. To see over 300 photos visit our website at Dodiauto.com.
Since receiving the vehicle we have not done much! All we did was
put in a new battery, check the fluids and it fired right up.
Mechanically it runs and drives well. The motor is very healthy,
sounds great and has plenty of power. Transmission shifts smoothly
through all gears. I would go through everything before driving it
daily as it has been sitting for quite some time. But I have driven
it around town and on the highway and thought it ran very well. The
lady mentioned that before her husband died he spent roughly 11k
working on the suspension. The Air suspension goes up property but
once it shuts off the passenger side lets out its air. The odometer
reads roughly 80,xxx which is believed to be its original mileage.
There are no known major leaks from the motor or transmission. The
floors are in excellent condition. There is ZERO rust down there
and all its panels are original. Being that it has spent its life
in Modesto CA it is not only an original CA BLUE PLATE car but also
has never been in rainy or snowy climates. There are some extra
parts and the old CA title that go with this mercedes. Simply check
out the 30 minute long video, over 300 photos and judge for
yourself!
