For Sale at Auction: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190 in Scottsdale, Arizona

Vehicle Description

This custom 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190B is powered by a dyno-tuned GM small-block 355ci V8 engine equipped with Hedman headers, a Holley Street Avenger carburetor, Edelbrock water pump and intake manifold, a Powermaster starter and a Powermaster 150-amp black alternator, with fuel supplied by a Tanks Inc. fuel tank and Edelbrock mechanical fuel pump. The engine is backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission Lokar shifter, and the car rides on an upgraded Mustang II front suspension with Ridetech StrongArms and air bags, complemented by rear four-link bars and additional air bags to provide adjustable ride height. Stopping power comes from Wilwood brakes at all four corners. The vehicle was purchased as an unfinished project and subsequently completed and refined, and it was featured on the television show "Pawn Stars." The interior features a reported $12,000 custom black suede interior installed over custom-made front seats and a matching rear seat, along with a custom console that incorporates the air-lift controller as well as the Lokar emergency brake and shifter. The cabin is fully covered with Dynamat for sound and thermal control and is equipped with Dakota Digital gauges to monitor engine vitals, a fully hidden Bluetooth stereo system and a remote battery cutoff switch located in the trunk. Exterior modifications include shaved door handles with electric door poppers and integrated air-ride components contributing to its lowered stance and overall custom presentation.
