Description of 1965 Mercedes-Benz S-Class |
Our outstanding Mercedes Benz was delivered new in Mexico by Reyza S.A. on July 1st 1965 as shown on the original bill of sale provided. This astonishing car went through a complete conversion into a real race car. The engine was changed for a 1993 3.6 litres AMG straight six with double overhead camshafts, fed by three Weber 45 carburattors and producing around 330 hp. All the other mechanical components were upgraded, which includes a large aluminium radiator, and three extra radiators for motor oil, gearbox and differential cooling. The gearbox was swapped for a 5 speed manual by Tremec. The brakes are Brembo and four Bilstein shock absorbers were fitted. Inside, two OMP bucket seats with five points harnesses replace the original interior. They face a Nardi steering wheel and a very complete dashboard that includes tachometer, oil and fuel pressure, coolant temperature and voltmeter. A circuit breaker is fitted inside and outside. This true racer was raced during three Carrera Panamericana and at the Rally Maya, proving its quality and reliability. A wolf in sheep's clothing ! |
