1964 Mercedes 220SE Leichenwagen / Hearse in Italy

January 17, 2010 by Evan

Another unique opportunity here. Normally we keep the auctions to North America, but this was too good to pass up.

The bodywork is nice, but the interior is spectacular. Like the Langversion Merc I posted recently it will take someone with a interesting vision to take advantage of a car like this. Though keeping this just as is doesn’t seem like a bad idea. It is really too nice to turn into a German  Ecto 1.

The new owner would want to make sure to keep this away from anything that could damage all that custom glass in the back. Speaking of glass, I’m always a fan of the Euro headlights on all Benzs. In this case they replace the dual light vertical stack on the U.S. versions.

The original ask was $6500 Euros about $9400 and it didn’t sell. I wish there were more pictures. The folks over at Bring A Trailer also picked up on this ride.

I wonder if anyone famous got a ride in the back?
