One of the most iconic cars for its design and engineering is the Mercedes 600. During the opulent times of the 1960s and 1970s Mercedes decided to produce a car that would surpass anything that was made in its day both in its overall size and engineering. The Mercedes 600 short-wheel-base sedan (not very short-wheel-based) was the end product. Most people are unaware of the many features on this car from an engineering point of view. The six-liter engine and its enormous power is well known but how many people know that the doors close hydraulically. That is correct. you do not slam the doors on a Mercedes 600 you just close it and as the door touches the lock the suction closes the door. We have heard many owners of Mercedes 600 say that the ride is like riding on a cloud. The European interior seats are probably the most comfortable seats ever devised for any automobile. The current owner has owned the Mercedes 600 in this eBay listing for 35 years. It has been carefully cared for by professional Mercedes mechanics. As you can see from photos the car has been housed in an estate like setting. This is not a car that has been stored in a museum but has been driven regularly though out its life. The seller is highly motivated to see this car get into the hands of the next caretaker and would entertain an offer of $43. 00. 00 - you can call 847-774-4857 The seller wants to bring some significant history to the attention of potential bidders. The seller is the SECOND OWNER of the car. The original owner was William Joseph "Bill" Bell (Mar 06. 1927 - Apr 29. 2005) who was an American screenwriter and television producer. best known as the creator of the soap operas Another World. The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. His wife was Lee Phillip Bell. a former talk show host. The seller has owned the car for 35 years. This is the European version model which does not have a console in the front seat and it also features cloth upholstery interior. The paint is original except for the right front fender. it was in a minor fender bender many years ago and at that time the seller also changed the headlights from European headlights to American headlights. In the back seat are radio controls for the passenger to tune the radio when being chauffeur driven. This feature is not connected and the seller is not aware of whether the controls work. The temperature gauge is not currently working. The back seat window on the driver's side needs a contact adjustment. The seller also wanted to point out that the speedometer works fine but needs lubrication because it is somewhat noisy. The car is located in northern Illinois and if you send your zip code we can calculate distance for you. The prominent surgeon who owns this car has told us that everything is working as far as he knows except for the radio controls in the rear seat that have been disconnected. Interesting and significant to note. the people that have owned Mercedes-Benz 600 sedans include Hugh Hefner. Elizabeth Taylor. John Lennon. George Harrison. Aristotle Onassis. Jack Nicholson. Elvis Presley and political leaders like Fidel Castro. Leonid Brezhnev and Kim II Sung and former Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos. The Mercedes-Benz 600 is also owned by most of the important sheiks and noblemen. The famous 6. 3 liter V8 Engine. automatic transmission. power steering. power disc brakes. air conditioning. ride control. power windows. power hydraulic seats. power hydraulic trunk lid. cruise control. AM/FM sound system. radial tires mounted standard wheels with deluxe wheel covers. The car in this eBay listing is not being sold as a show car but as driver quality. You should note that the car was neither washed nor cleaned up for pictures; that should give more then a fair representation of its condition. In MissChiTown’s opinion the Mercedes 600 represents during this time period of the 1960s & 1970s what the Duesenberg represented to the American market in the late 1920s and 1930s. Yes this car could use some TLC. cosmetically we have noted that the rear bumper has several dents but other then that the exterior cosmetics are at a level expected with the age of the car. The reserve on this car relative to the market is very conservative and for the seriously interested buyer an inspection can be made available. but it is the task of MissChiTown to filter the serious from the not serious inquiries. As the doctor has indicated to us that one of the reasons he is using the services of MissChiTown is to avoid having to spend time with endless phone calls. emails and those that would want to come view the car with no serious intentions of purchasing the car. The owner and the car are both located in northern Illinois and for further information we prefer a phone call 847-774-4857 initially to help determine if this car would be a good fit for your collection.
