1971 Mercedes-Benz 600 SWB

ATTENTION BLUE CHIP COLLECTORS! THIS IS 1 OF ONLY 2,190 OF THE RARE AND LIMITED PRODUCTION MERCEDES-BENZ GRAND 600 SERIES THAT WERE EVER PRODUCED FROM 1963 TO 1981! THEY WERE PURCHASED NEW BY FOREIGN LEADERS, CELEBRITIES, AND ROYALTY! EXTREMELY WELL KEPT AND THE CONDITION IS IMPECCABLE! Black exterior with black leather interior. M100 6.3L SOHC V8 engine, 4-speed automatic transmission. Sold new in New York and immediately shipped to Los Angeles by the original owner, who was believed to be a high profile attorney. Long term ownership in California. The amount of history we were able to obtain on this 600 Short Wheel Base is limited. We know this 600 was registered in the M-100 Registry by who is believed to be the original owner, and that it resided in California until about 78,000 miles. The 92,525 miles that are shown on the odometer are believed to be actual. The car was brought to Washington State in 2005 and has resided here for the last 20 years in a very private, and extremely impressive collection. (The main reason this Grand 600 was purchased, was that Jay Leno has one in his collection) The restoration appears to be done in the late 1990's or early 2000's, but to a level of quality that would make you think it was restored last year with no expense spared. If you have dreamed of someday owning a Mercedes-Benz 600, we suggest that you research the differences in these models compared to a standard S-Class. Almost every major component is Hydraulically powered including systems from the suspension to the power windows and door locks. Other features include; air conditioning, climate control, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual manually-adjustable front bucket seats with lumbar, locking glovebox, full instrument cluster including tachometer, oil pressure, and temperature gauges, rear defroster, power retractable antenna, four wheel disc brakes, exterior temperature gauge, intermittent windshield wipers.
