~Fabulous Mercedes-Benz 'one-of-a-kind' 540K-R (-replica), -having original Maroon/Silver-paint with favored 'patina', and matching perfect genuine/Leather-interior with Am/Fm-radio. Only driven 12,500 original-miles, -and just 3-miles on custom-built $40K/V8 Lt.-weight small-block, 'Roller-cam' 352-cid engine (short-Stroke/long-Rod design), with Turbo-350/Auto.-transmission ( Elder-gent Indus.-Design owner was planning to install a 5-speed/Manual-trans., -but health-issues interfered). Has Power-windows, -but the like-new Disk-brakes (Silicon-oil for longevity), and Steering-sys. are both 'manual' as to convey a 1930's-era feeling; --and likewise the Front/Rear Suspension-systems are very similar in design to the original MB/540k. Beautifully hand-crafted front/rear 'real-steel' 1936-era Bumpers. Entry 'door-handles' are solid/Stainless-steel.! Large 235x15/Michelin/radial-tires, on pristine chrome-15"/Wire-wheels. Gorgeous classic Headlamps 'V'-shaped to aesthetically match the MB-radiator (-adapted with hi-tech low-amp. 'warm/bright' LED-bulbs! ). Has special Ignition-system from German-inventor UlfArens; -and new Optina-battery ('yellow' version for longevity). The Leather-clad custom-made 'Banjo'-style steering-wheel is 'tilt-&-tele.'of large-diameter serving to provide the feeling of the original 1936-era MB/540k. This amazing motorcar is indeed a unique-prize for an aficionado of connoisseur-cars; --whom understands it is primarily a "grandiose- Work of Art", -and as such is not considered practical as a daily-driver, -for if parked at a shopping-center for example, --the 'common street-Thugs' would soon strip and destroy it.!!
Offered at: $149,500.oo -cash, -sorry no trades (-original versions sell for upwards of 15X this figure; -yet in many respects are not as awesome!). Calif./DMV-title (1971 Pink-slip is 100% 'clean') Hardest 'hit' this beauty ever took, --was a brisk door-closing ! Is on official 'Non-opper.' status to reduce Calif./DMV-fees.
Memo: -intending to add additional photos, -ask if you want a particular view added.! ~R.vH
