Vehicle Description

This is a top-tier, no-expense-spared collector-grade restoration

  • Metal & Paint: Silver #180 (DB 180 Silver Metallic) rendered in Glasurit—the period-correct OEM paint system for classic Mercedes-Benz.

  • Drivetrain: A mechanical rebuild by Metric Motors is the premier authority for vintage Mercedes engines, ensuring factory clearances and performance.

  • Interior & Trim: GAHH leather over authentic new horsehair pads, correct German carpet, and wood refinished by Madera Concepts means the cabin looks, feels, and smells as it did leaving the factory.

  • Instruments & Audio: Palo Alto Speedometer gauge overhauls and a restored Becker radio preserve exact dash aesthetics with fresh functionality.

Key Highlights for Documentation & Sale

  • Provenance & Value: The included restoration photo file combined with line-item receipts from Metric Motors, Madera Concepts, and Palo Alto Speedometer provides undeniable proof of quality, protecting your investment and maximizing market value.

  • Mechanical Break-In: With fresh Metric Motors mechanicals and a rebuilt mechanical fuel injection (MFI) system, ensure a standard 500-to-1,000-mile break-in period with a fluid change and valve check planned.
