If you ever wanted a Mercedes and a fixer-upper car, here is your
chance to own both in one shot. This 1966 Mercedes-Benz 250S does
need a lot of TLC, but with the right amount of time, minimal
skills, mixed with some confidence and some YouTube training, this
could become a very nice, reliable classic luxury car. Being that
this isn't a rare model and it's mostly stock, finding parts for it
should not be very hard. At this point, you could restore it back
to stock, go custom, or drive it as is it's still a Mercedes.
It has the stock red leather interior that goes well with the
Papyrus White exterior color. Gauges are in decent condition along
with the climate controller and clean door panels. The whole
dashboard seems to be the high point for the interior of this
Mercedes. This car, like most of the 60s, supports a large trunk
with plenty of room for whatever you need it for, and has a spare
tire just in case.
The engine compartment looks mostly stock. The 152 cubic inch
straight-six with Weber carburetors could probably use a serious
turn up. Mated to the engine is a 4-speed automatic transmission
that connects to a factory rear end. The suspension is stock-style
and seems to make the Mercedes still drive like a luxury car. Stock
14-inch wheels with beauty rings wrapped in 205/70R14 tires need
some help. Power disc brakes go all the way around, and a
stock-style exhaust with an aftermarket muffler lets out the Benz's
exhaust fumes.
Although this 1966 Mercedes-Benz 250S has seen better days, it's
still a Mercedes-Benz that could be a good investment. And needless
to say, if you have patience, you can still drive it as a daily
driver, the way it is, or while you are bringing it back from its
current condition to something worthy of showing off. Call
