The 1969 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3 is considered the genesis of the large luxury Sports Sedan segment and a coveted model among Mercedes-Benz collectors. It combines the typical German engineering, uild quality, nd performance of their sports cars with the luxury and comfort of their touring sedans. The 300SEL 6.3 was created by fitting Mercedes' excellent, 00hp/434 ft/pds of torque, .3 liter V8 with Bosch fuel injection from their 600 and 600 Pullman series, nto the standard 300SEL body, hus creating an amazing combination of performance and luxury. Mercedes-Benz also added larger wheels, four-speed automatic transmission, pgraded power four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, nd four-wheel independent suspension; which included air suspension with adjustable ride height. Many other extra features were included as standard items, uch as air conditioning, adio, eather upholstery, ower steering, nd power windows. This new combination allowed the 300SEL 6.3 to accelerate from 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds
and to reach speeds of almost 140 mph while also maintaining stellar handling and comfort; which hadn't been seen by the automotive world in a Sports Sedan to date.The 300SEL 6.3 was not inexpensive by any standards, s it cost more than double that of the new Porsche 911S, ut it's well rounded performance made it the sedan to have in 1969. Its high cost also contributed to its low production numbers with only limited numbers ofunits being produced and many of those cars being lost to use, ust, nd the elements over the years. Of those cars produced, nly fraction of them made it to the United States. That make them ultra rare collectors. The 300SEL 6.3 was considered to be one of the most sophisticated cars of its time, nd still today it has a devoted following in the automotive collector car world. It is the perfect combination of performance and luxury.

Arguably one of Mercedes most sought after classic vehicles, his 6.3 features the 6.3 liter V8 engine from the Mercedes Pullman 600 limousines. It has massive power, hen introduced it was the highest performance sedan ever made. This vehicle's engine was hand rebuiltfewyears ago (See picture).Itwas professionally completely rebuilt and any worn parts were replaced with genuine Mercedes-Benz parts.

A great previously owned, moke-free automobile. One owner,original BC car that was bought by his owner 47 years ago. I acquired it recently. Its 88 years old owner backed up into a shelf in his garage and damaged it a little bit on the rear (see picture). Then he decided to finally quit driving and sell his bellowed Mercedes, e had for 47 years, ince new. The car is completely original and still shows very well. It can be driven or restored. If decision is to restore the car, t would be worthwhile as this car is good mechanically, ith beautifully and smooth running (virtually almostnew) engine.The transmission shifts through all the gears crisply/firmly. The gear handle is currently disconnected from transmission as it is missing a bushing for the transmission linkage. It is small plastic $6 piece, ut hard to find original one. The car displayed no signs of structural rust at all, ust some surface bubbling in some spots (sun roof for example). Structural rust free. Overall, his vehicle's exterior is clean. The interior is clean and in good condition. Excellent original car with lots of potential..

The interior is completely original and the leather is in amazing shape for its age. The dash pad is flawless with no cracks. The headliner is very good.
