For Sale 64 4 door belair. and 78 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9

Location

United States

These are my Fiance's vehicles. They are in Southern Il at her mothers home.
The benz was a DD until 6 years ago. It has a 6.9 V8. auto-level suspension still works. It has been parked, but with a good battery and gas will start and run. I have driven it around the yard, but not the street, no tags/insurance.

asking $4,000, open to offers. I will answer any questions I can about it. I'll be in southern IL this weekend and can show the car, or take more pictures, or investigate anything you have a question about. at any other time I'll do what I can to help arrange it being viewed, test driven, loaded up and sold etc.

4 door belair. it has been parked for 17 years. Before that it was her granddad's daily driver. I have pictures on my phone I can text, and some on the computer at home I will upload tonight. I have no idea if it runs. As far as I know it was being driven until it was parked in the barn and no one has touched it since. everything should be there, this isnt a 1/2 started restoration with missing parts, it should be all there, but without pulling it out of the barn I am really not sure.

Ill be at the house this weekend and can answer any questions to the best of my ability.
asking $2,000 OBO for the belair.

open to offers, especially if you buy both.

Wow - the 6.9 was the original sleeper, those are fast cars! You need to get that up on a MB board, somebody will want that for a project.

GLWS!

I want that Mercedes, bad. If you were closer I would buy it tomorrow.

How many miles are on it?

 

[justbecause]

I'll find out the mileage.

Thanks Tucker.

She posted it on a benz board, but got the standard flack people can expect when joining a board just to sell something.

snobdds I can help any way I can to get it shipped to you.

100,421 miles

pictures are with the engine off, I dont know if the suspension is supposed to squat like that while it isnt running, but once you crank it all 4 corners work and the car sits up.

I love it. Like I said, I wish you were closer. I would buy it. I am a big fan of Mercedes and that 6.9 is one of the best ever made, I'm not s***ting. At the time is was faster than even some high end sports cars of the time.

With that many miles and the distance involved, I think I will have to pass. I will pass this along to a friend of mine that also is a big fan of Classic Mercedes. I know I will be kicking myself in the future.

The suspension is ran off of a pulley from the timing chain. It then drives a pump that raises and lowers the car, so it has to be running to operate.

Oh yea, cover that thing up and preserve it as much as possible.

Thanks snobdds.
It is covered, I wish it was in the barn, but they do keep a good cover on it. I dont know how much life could be brought back to that paint with a good wax, but I have seen miracles on here before.

I know there is a guy on mud that does some vehicle shipping, but I dont know his name. Kait is a motivated seller, I might be able to convince her to help cover some shipping costs.

Belair is on a trailer headed east.

Benz is sold pending payment.
