1970 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3Offered here is this 1970
Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3, finished in dark blue over a matching
dark blue leather interior. Representing one of Mercedes-Benz's
most significant performance sedans of its era, the 300SEL 6.3
combined understated luxury with the power of a large-displacement
V8. This example has long-term ownership history and is now offered
as a project car.Highlights:- Long-Term Ownership- Exterior Color:

Headlights (Euro-style)- 14-Inch Bundt-Style WheelsEquipped with a
fuel-injected 6.3-liter V8 engine paired with an automatic
transmission. Additional equipment includes power steering, power
windows, VDO instrumentation, a Becker Europa II radio, Bosch
Euro-style headlights, and 14-inch slotted alloy Bundt-style wheels
fitted with Michelin tires. Exterior details include the prominent
chrome radiator grille, the iconic three-pointed star hood
ornament, chrome bumpers with rubber strips, and protective side
moldings.Inside, the cabin features bucket seats with adjustable
headrests, a center armrest, a wood-trimmed dashboard, a center
console, and door pockets. The dark blue leather upholstery is
heavily distressed, with torn seams, exposed horsehair and padding,
and deteriorated seat springs, and will require attention as part
of the restoration process.Fresh out of long-term storage, this
300SEL 6.3 is currently not running and will require mechanical
evaluation and recommissioning before it can be driven. Its appeal
lies in the engineering behind the model: Mercedes-Benz installed
the 6.3-liter V8 from its flagship 600 limousine into the W109
luxury sedan, creating a four-door car with performance that
rivaled many sports cars of its time. This project offers a chance
to bring an important chapter of Mercedes-Benz history back to
life. For $9,750
