PROJECT UPSIDES & EXTERIOR

Factory Sunroof!

This 220S is a fantastic project with massive upside, offering a highly complete and running baseline for the dedicated Mercedes-Benz enthusiast.

Currently finished in a classic off-white, the car retains its iconic factory body lines, complete front grille, and bright chrome bumpers.

ENGINE & MECHANICALS

Under the hood sits the Mercedes-Benz inline-6 engine paired with the highly unique and desirable Hydrak transmission.

A major plus for this project is that the engine successfully starts on auxiliary fuel and idles smoothly, proving the mechanical viability of the drivetrain.

The engine bay is relatively complete but will require localized structural metalwork due to rust-through on the passenger-side inner fender apron.

The undercarriage shows typical surface corrosion and aging expected from an unrestored chassis of this vintage, providing a straightforward structural baseline.

INTERIOR & INCLUDED PARTS

A significant amount of heavy lifting has already been done, as the cabin features a recently and completely redone striking red interior.

The dashboard is beautifully adorned with heavily figured, glossy woodgrain trim and houses the original metric instrumentation with German-language gauges.

The passenger-side interior door panel is currently disassembled and safely stored in the trunk.

A comprehensive cache of uninstalled spare parts comes included in the trunk to help the next owner complete the project. This incredible parts haul includes preserved spare wood interior trim, various exterior chrome brightwork pieces, and vintage Bosch components still in their original boxes.
