Description of 1964 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series |
Mercedes W112.Genuine. 1964 Almost impossible to find 300SE in coupe form. This car is the top of the line model from Mercedes for the years 63 through to 67. Its level of superiority to people with the knowledge and understanding of the model far exceed that of it having its very own showroom. Its all aluminum M189 engine is a work of art. An engine design carried forward from the all performing Gullwing model. Superior in every way to the 220, 250, 280 and the 280 3.5 models. For those that may dissagree with the comparison to the 280 3.5, i recommend owning and driving one of each to understand as i do the pleasure of the 300. Alternatively talk to any Mercedes mechanic with 50 years or more experience and they will concur. "The comparison of the 300 M189 engine to that of the 280 3.5 v8 is like comparing a finely tuned sowing machine to that of a chaff cutter". (Adolf Weigel, German born Mercedes specialist and master Mercedes Mechanic, 94 years old. 75 years working only on Mercedes). The W112 was and is the highest level of Mercedes opulence from the last real quality Mercedes era. As 300 Cabriolet prices push the $500,000 mark, Coupe prices are pursuing with haste. I have here my last 300 coupe available for sale. An ugly duckling, but a sure and sound investment. This car is an excellent candidate for a deservingly full ground up restoration. The original engine, transmission and driveline are intact. Perfect for a thorough rebuild. The dash is missing some items that are attainable. However this super rare car is not to be missed. Once complete, the car will drive superbly and command the attention of the discerning Mercedes benz public. Please view the photos and ask questions. I am able to assist with shipping arrangments for foreign buyers. The car is located in Bellflower California. |
