1972 Mercedes 250c Elegant 2dr coupe autobahn cruiser dual carb gas 6 wood trim

1972 Mercedes-Benz 250c coupe with Dual carburetor 2. 8 SOHC Powerplant right from Factory The "Dictator. spent all it's life right here in beautiful sunny California. Built in November 1971. VIN *114023-12-006369* One of only 2. 39 U. S. 250C Coupés built that year. This European reserve classic can be a part of a small but nonetheless exquisite stable of legendary automobiles. This 250C certainly is fine example of a vintage Mercedes that is rust free. with new whitewall tires. untouched interior-down to working factory Radio with owners manual. and it's featuring clean and smooth repaint and shiny chrome. It's esoteric knowledge that. despite its model designation. the prestigious 250C Coupé did not come equipped with a 2. 5-liter engine when sold in this Country. Instead. Mercedes stepped up to the plate and installed the famous M130. 2. 8-liter SOHC powerplant. topped by dual Zenith 2-barrel carburetors. right from the factory into all US-models. No computer. no electronic throttle sensors. no fuel injection. but enough power from its 157 teutonic horses to cruise at triple-digit speeds on the Autobahn. all day long. This 250c Mercedes is offered at a well below market price because the owner has moved out of state and could not take the car. In the last few years. the owner started to restore the car to it's elegance by first having the car professionaly repainted. had parts re-chromed and new many new parts replaced which includes new whitewall tires. At some point the owner discovered that the car needed a new head gasket because the oil turned milky and stored it away. Few months later the owner had moved to Ohio and left the car in California. Since the owner is no longer in California. I have the pleasure of selling it. As far as I know the car has had only two Owners and the original owner had it serviced at a local Mercedes dealer since new. This car appears all original down to it's radio etc. The car does start and run but is not able to drive because the head gasket is bad at the very least and needs to be redone. *The Paint shines well. looks sharp but their is a little small scuff by the driver side.
