Mercedes-Benz W124.036 E50048,500 MilesDB149 Polar White over GreyI am not going to bore you with the history of the Mercedes/Porsche super sedan. If you are looking at this auction, ou probably already know this chassis.These cars are known for their incredible build quality from the 18-days it took the Porsche technicians to build these cars at the Porsche 959 super-car assembly plant in Zuffenhausen. Of the 10,479 total worldwide 500E/E500's built, 5 were DB149 Polar White. Of the 1,505 imported to the US, nly 7 were Polar White. In 1994, ercedes shipped only 374 cars to the US market. Rare car and rare color combination.The car is in excellent overall condition. It spent its first 20 years in Arizona with 2 owners. The 2nd owner was an ex-PGA pro who played in 27 Major championships (US Open/Masters/PGA Championship). I have owned the car 1 year in Georgia. Note that the car history shows Oregon registration - the 2nd owner had a summer house in Oregon (where all of his vehicles were registered) but the car never left Arizona and never left the garage! Always maintained at the Scottsdale dealer. I do have the limited VMI from Mercedes that shows limited service records - the biggest was a replacement of the water pump.Since I have owned the car, ere is what was done mechanically/maintenance:Upper wiring harnessLower wiring harnessRebuilt ETA wiringCorrect "high sheen" EVO II 8.25 x 17 wheels (rare and the perfect wheels for this car)Correct and no-longer-available W124 lug bolts - I polished the end capsMichelin Pilot Sport A/S tiresMB rotors - all 4 cornersAkebono Euro ceramic pads - all 4 cornersRebuilt the original antennaReplaced the stock stereo head-unit (will go with the car) with a Becker 4602 Mercedes head unit (rare head unit purchased directly from Becker North America)3.5mm stereo jack installed with Becker 4602 for iPod/MP3 connectivityFluids - brake fluid, rad Penn 20w-50 oil x2Lamin-x headlight and foglight clear protective filmWindshield washer bottle, rommets and pumpsReplaced the front license plate frame/adapter with the "blank" piece painted Polar White - original plate bracket goes with the carSwapped the late E500 LH module with a correct early WOT LH module (7HP gain to 322HP).
