1971 Mercedes Benz 250C Coupe, 2.5L 6cyl, Auto, Unrestored Survivor!
Here is a beautiful 1971 Mercedes-Benz 250C Coupe. It is a super clean example and is very solid and rust free showing its pampered life always in Southern California. The car was originally delivered September 8th, 1971 by Mr. Joseph Bernard through the tourist delivery program and was driven around europe before the original owner brought it back to CA. Its first US service was at Autohaus Brugger in Redwood City, CA on. The car shows its services in the Palo Alto and La Mesa areas through around 1981. The car is a true time machine that you will be proud to own.
The following is a list of options as this 250C is currently equipped:
-Original 2.5L 6CYL Engine
-3 Speed Automatic Transmission
-Fog Lamps
-Original Becker Sound System
-Hankook Radial White Wall Tires
-Color Matched Hub Caps
The body on the car is in very good condition and was extremely well maintained. The paint on the car was just recently refinished in striking Olympic White and is in very nice condition. The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as any well cared for garaged car should be, and has never been in any accidents. The chrome is beautiful and straight all around with no pitting or discoloration, nearly as nice as new. The glass all the way around is in excellent original shape and all rubber seals are excellent and not deteriorated or cracked. The trunk sheet-metal and tire well is rust free the best I've ever seen on a 114 body car. The car is riding on original steel Mercedes wheels and hubcaps with very nice Toyo tires. All chrome trim, glass, and rubber seals are in great shape.
The interior is all original condition all around. The supple black seats are all in very good condition and look very nice, which shows the quality of material used in this car. The interior is rip free all the way around and all seating surfaces look great. The carpets are all very nice are not worn or damaged other than one small ware spot on the drivers carpet. All dials and controls function as they should. The Becker Am/Fm Cassette sounds great with the original sound system. All lights, gauges switches, and accessories work as they should. The trunk compartment is very clean and does have the original jack, the spare tire and wheel, and original trunk mat, and the cardboard inserts are still in nice shape.
Mechanically, this 250C runs GREAT! The car is still powered by its original numbers matching 6cyl engine. The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. The 2.5L engine is very quick and responsive. It is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily available. The suspension is very tight and feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 90mph. The car was always regularly serviced and the car was well cared for. The previous owner just spent nearly $3000 going through the car mechanically and rebuilding the carbs, tuning it up, replacing motor mounts, new muffler, new hoses, and new valve cover and exhaust gaskets. This thing runs like a top, and is super tight with no fluid leaks. The car has an excellent lifelong service history in the service book as well as thousands in recent receipts.
All in all, this is one of the neatest Mercedes that I have had the privilege of being associated with. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owner. This Mercedes is a fantastic car for the price. This is your chance to get a classic Mercedes for a fraction of the original cost. Any further questions please call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.
