Description of 1966 Mercedes-Benz S-Class |
I've had this car for 2. 5 years now and it has been an absolute joy! The car is original to California and just crossed the state line when I moved here two months ago. I am consolidating before moving into a new house and it's time to part ways. She's a great little car that has a lot of work done. but like most of these is still needs attention. She was actually my daily driver for about 8 months after an accident in my full time car last year. Here is what has been done over the past couple of years. She photographs and cleans up well. but is definitely not a trailer queen. These have been Rebuilt within the last 3000 miles: Engine. Both Carburetors. Brake system. Steering Box. Steering Pump. Rear Differential. Rear axle suspension components. Reconditioned fuel tank and replaced fuel lines. New spark plugs. Exterior When describing the exterior of the car. it is really a matter of standards and expectations. The car appears very presentable. Looks like it was repainted at some point. but paint looks relatively good. with a few imperfections. This is not a concourse car. but looks very good for a daily driver. Black color looks pretty good and shiny and the Silver roof looks like new. All glasses are intact and function as they should. It doesn't show any signs of accidents or damages. All lights and chrome pieces are in great shape. Has a small surface rust spot on the rear right fender under the chrome molding. but no rust on the inside from the trunk. I've had the few spots inspected and it nothing serious or I would have corrected. Interior Back interior with wood and chrome makes it for one of the most desirable color combinations. The interior was overhauled. Installed new front and back seats. New Carpet. Detailed Chrome and Wood (not refurbished). Headliner seems in pretty good condition without any rips or marks This is where you'll definitely feel like driving a nice mercedes. Comes with Air Conditioning. Power Windows. Power Locks. Remote Alarm System. Two of the power windows are no longer working and the radio is not connected. The gear lever indicator is not working. but it is easy to count. Engine and Transmission This engine was recently rebuilt. It's a 2. 5 Liter. 6 cylinder with Dual Carburetors that were recently rebuilt and adjusted too. I had the compression rechecked last week and it all showed great results. Not sure what else there is to say about it. It's dry. starts on cold or warm. And it doesn't give me troubles. The car has only not turned over once for me and that was because the battery was dead. Just replaced with a new battery last week. Transmission is a 4 speed Automatic with column mounted shifter. Shifts great. although it has that "old school" shifting. These transmission didn't come with a torque converter so shifting feels different from a traditional modern transmission. Suspension and Undercarriage Undercarriage is in great shape. I had the car on the lift recently and saw no rust spots anywhere under the car. It doesn't look damaged either. Steering feels good and no strange noises when going over rough road. Rear suspension has just been replaced. It has new bushings and seals in the differential. The steering box and pump were both rebuilt as well. Tires have about 3000 miles on them on the original rims. Extras There are a few options that this car has. Air Conditioning that has been rebuilt and recharged recently Power Locks that are connected to an aftermarket remote alarm. you can also remotely open the trunk from the key fob. I believe this car is priced fairly so no low ballers please. I would consider a trade. but I'd have to really fall for your car. but open to suggestions. Hit me up with additional questions or if you'd like to come check her out. |
