(with a secret)

1985 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Description:

Odometer nonfunctional (spare instrument cluster included) (THIS MEANS THE ODOMETER READING IS NOT ACTUAL) Automatic door locks inop. (needs pump) Speed control intermittent. (used amplifier included) A bit of play in steering gear (no adjustment attempted-all rod ends replaced) Small tear in conv. top about 1 inch long (no gap) I have owned this car about 10 years, always kept it indoors and operated it only rarely. I keep it licensed (antique auto plate) and insured and start the engine weekly. I purchased the car from a friend who had owned it for many years and kept it indoors. When I learned about the car, it had an engine issue. I decided to purchase the car and replace the engine with a stronger engine from that period. I found a 5.6 L. engine/transmission assembly from a 1986 560SLC with low mileage and had a local independent Mercedes shop do the swap. The engine swap used only the original Mercedes parts and only an expert would recognize any appearance difference. The car comes with nice hard top with a small scratch. Inland SC/GA car with no rust. Runs strong. Aftermarket stereo with professionally installed amp in trunk and (2) very heavy 6 x9 speakers in enclosures sit on rear platform (see photo with shop manual binder).
