    Owner Comments:
    This original California Benz with its attractive color combination was driven for only few years in the State of Hawaii until it was shipped one year ago back to California. There has been a lot of money spent on this vehicle to keep its condition up to date. The 2.8L engine with the two downdraft carburetors produced 170 hp (130 kW) where reconditioned about 10 years ago run very strong. Not a rusty vehicle! The gearbox is smooth and changes up when it's supposed to. The 4 wheel disc brakes work all simultaneously and the car doesn't pull to any side. Power windows x 4! Differential is still tight as the overall driving experience with this Mercedes. Power steering works flawlessly! Suspensions were changed not to long ago. Four new tires were put on the vehicle less than one year ago. The interior MB Tex is in great condition, no rips or tears expect a very small tear in the middle of the rear seat on the inner side of the arm-rest housing. The body is very SOLID! The paint is not original, repainted about 15 years ago, few chips and little cracks in paint. The chrome is overall in really great condition. There is a small dent on the right corner on the rear bumper. Many receipts with a lot $$$ over long time of period and the original manuals come with the car.
