The W112 and W111 Benz coupes are some of my favorites in terms of looks. This German market car still sports the European headlights, a German D sticker and the unique rear fog light option. What makes this one catch my eye is its very original condition and the less than 40,000 miles it has covered. Mercedes offered a number of their two door cars with two tone paint, the dark tops often giving the car a convertible appearance. I’m not a huge fan of white cars, but the white and navy blue of this one with the saddle interior is a good look. The wood on the dash shows signs of some improper cleaning, but there are several places that refinish Mercedes and other automotive wood to amazing looks.
The owner states the car was shipped stateside, to NYC, in 1980 and has spent a number of years, since 1994, stored in a garage in Florida. There is going to be a need to go over a few things, but the car comes with all receipts since 1980, which is very helpful. The owner says it has a new water pump, starter, alternator, and gas tank. These cars had the air ride suspension and it is very clear from the low rider look in the photos that this is going to need some attention. The bellows may need to be replaced amongst other things. This can be costly as not every local car shop will want to work on the system.
The inline six is a proven power plant perfect for sedate driving in this machine.
These cars are investment opportunities with this low mileage and original shape. This one has bids up over $12,000 with the reserve not met. The seller has no eBay feedback so caveat emptor.

I love how it looks slammed but otherwise classic all around. Maybe a new set of airbags could facilitate something similar without breaking your back and teeth when driven. Sweet car that deserves some good love.
This car is a great find it looks incredible lowered. Have not seen one of these cars and am interested to see what it brings on eBay. Great find!
