The flagship luxury sedans by Mercedes Benz that were produced from
1972 through 1980 under the internal designation of W116 were
officially called the S-Class or "special class" or "Sonderklasse"
and would ultimately be selected as the European Car of the Year in
1974. These stunning automobiles would come standard with
independent suspension and disc brakes on all four corners. This
really cool example comes with a lot of history and paperwork to
back it up. For starters, this car was purchased at Wood Imports in
Detroit MI and would remain in the original owners control until
the late 1990's. This car comes with its original window sticker,
dealer and factory paperwork from new. This car retailed just shy
of $14,000 which equates to just over $100,000 in todays money. The
average cost of an automobile in the US in 1973 was just about
$4,000. This car was purchased several years ago by the current
consignor who did a mechanical and interior restoration. The paint
is all original that still shines very nicely. There is some
under-body and lower rocker rust and some cosmetic imperfections
but this is a really commanding automobile. All of the lights and
gauges work. This is a A/C car also with working heat, power
windows, brakes and steering. In addition this car also comes with
original owners manual and a lot of receipts both current and from
the early days.
