I PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH THE INTENT OF RESALE FOR PROFIT, ND NO OTHER PLANS THE HAGERTY PRICE GUIDE REPORT GIVES THESE CARS AVALUERANGE OF $7000.00 TO $30,000.00! THE TRENDS AND MARKET ON THIS CAR HAS AND IS RISING EVERY YEAR! THE AVERAGE PRICE IS $14,000 AND HAS RISEN IN VALUE EVERY YEAR, ITH TRENDS FOR THIS AUTO ON THE RISE NO RESERVE ON THIS INVESTMENT!!! I PICKED THIS UP TODAY AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A ONE OWNER CAR AND DRIVEN FREQUENTLY BY AN ELDERLY MAN UNTIL HE PASSED IT HAS SET FOR AT LEAST A DECADE NEGLECTED UNTIL I PURCHASED IT. THE CAR ALTHOUGH HADN'T BEEN TOUCHED IN YEARS STARTED RIGHT UP TODAY WHEN I PULLED IT USING MY TRUCK AS A JUMP START AS I HAVE NO KEYS FOR THIS VEHICLE. IT NEEDS TO HAVE THE OLD GAS DRAINED, ND FILTER CHANGED. BUT AT LEAST YOU KNOW THE ENGINE IS NOT SEIZED, ND YOU CAN MOVE THE CAR WHILE YOU RESTORE IT. I CAN PUT AN IGNITION,AND BATTERY IN IT AT THE BUYERS EXPENSE. THE BAD I SAW UPON MY INSPECTION VISUAL SURFACE RUST AND PITTING ON BUMPERS AND CHROME GRILL MOST WOULD POLISH OFF WITH A WHEEL PAINT APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RESTORED THE QUARTERS, OORS, RUNK, OOD, RUNK LID, LL LOOK SOLD. LINED UP PERFECTLY, LL CLOSE AND OPEN FLAWLESSLY. THEY LATCH EFFORTLESSLY. THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR DOES HAVE MUD, ND SURFACE NOT DEEP, R HOLES BUT LIGHT MUDDY LIKE SURFACE RUST. NOT A SERIOUS CANCER THAT I SAW. THE FLOORS AND TRUNK PANS NEED PATCHED/REPLACED BUT OVERALL ITS PRETTY SOLID. I DO HAVE THE BACK BUMPER. THE ENGINE LOOKED FAIRLY CLEAN, ND AS I SAID BLEW MY MIND AT HOW FAST IT TURNED OVER, OW QUIET AND HOW SMOOTH IT RAN WITH OLD GAS, N IT, OU JUST CAN'T BEAT A DIESEL ENGINE. THE TRANSMISSION I AM UNSURE OF, E SAID IT WORKED LIKE A TOP AND AT ONE POINT WAS A REGISTERED DRIVING CAR WHEN HIS GRANDFATHER HAD IT, OWEVER I DID NOT MOVE THE CAR, R ATTEMPT TO DRIVE. I DIDN'T WANT TO RUN IT LONG OR PUT ANY STRESS ON IT. ITS A 4 SPEED MANUAL WITH A CLUTCH AND THE SHIFT ON THE COLUMN, TIRES OLD, RY ROTTED ONLY 3 HOLDING AIR, HE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE IS GOES COMPLETELY FLAT IN MINUTES.I CAN AIR IT UP AND GET IT LOADED TO WHO EVER BUYS IT OR REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE AT BUYERS COST. BRAKES THE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND THE BRAKES ARE WORKING, WINDOWS THE GLASS LOOKED GOOD. INTERIOR THE INTERIOR, EADLINER, ARPETS, EAT ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED, R FIXED DEPENDING ON YOUR PLANS FOR THE VEHICLE, UT EVERYTHING IS THERE. ALL IN ALL THIS IS A GREAT CAR FOR RESTORATION OR EVEN WITH JUST A LITTLE WORK A FUN DAILY DRIVER. WE GOT NOTHING BUT BEEPS, OOKS, UESTIONS, ND SMILES ON THE TWO HOUR DRIVE. THE PICTURES I HAVE ON THIS LISTING ARE THE CAR JUST BEING PULLED OUT AND LOADED AT THE PLACE I BOUGHT IT TODAY. THE CAR WAS NOT CLEANED AND THEY WERE TAKEN WITH MY CELL PHONE. IT REALLY IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR WITH PLENTY OF POTENTIAL. I MAY PRESSURE WASH IT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, IX THE FLAT AND TAKE SOME BETTER PICTURES. IF YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL PICTURES PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK ONCE AGAIN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDDING. BELOW IS EVERYTHING I COULD FIND ONLINE ABOUT THE AUTO, AM BY NO MEANS AN EXPERT ON THIS CAR, 'M JUST PASSING ALONG THE INFO I FOUND. TheMercedes-Benz W120was aninline-fourcylinder sedan introduced byMercedes-Benzin 1953. Powered initially by the company's existing 1.8 literM136engine, t was sold as the model180through 1962.TheMercedes-Benz W121was introduced in 1956, owered by a 1.9 literM121engine. It sold as the model190through 1961.The 180 continued to use the 56PS (41kW; 55hp) M136 engine from theMercedes-Benz 170 Sbuntil 1957, hen it received a downtuned version of the 190's M121.Various diesel powered 180s were produced from 1953 to 1962.Often referred to as "Pontons" the pair were the mainstay of Mercedes' lineup during their production runs. Together with the more luxurious and somewhat larger 2.2 literinline-sixcylinderMercedes-Benz W128220 they constituted 80% of Mercedes-Benz' production between 1953 and 1959.[2]Contents[hide]
