There is a reason why Jay Leno calls the W109 6.3 his favorite Mercedes-Benz. It’s a classic Mercedes design both inside and out then finished off with the M100 6.3 liter V8 that still holds it own with modern cars. It’s what a Mercedes-Benz should be. Don’t get me wrong, I love the new super AMG cars that have 650 horsepower and can drive themselves down the road, but you can get that from any brand now. In 1969, this was the car if you wanted a European super sedan. Not to mention you paid for it too at over $14,000, which was only a few thousand less than a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. But the Silver Shadow didn’t compare to the 6.3 in terms of power, build quality and reliability. That’s why this car still has a huge following and even higher demand to this day. So let’s check out this 1969 for sale in Massachusetts.

The reason I chose this car is because of its perfect color combination: DB291 Dark Olive with the wonderful cognac interior. It’s the kind of interior that is so nice that you can take a magazine out into the garage and just sit in the drivers seat to read. This particular example isn’t without its flaws through. It has some paint marks and is missing a side marker, but it all seems like minor things. The listing mentions it’s probably due for a service, but the seller Copley Motorcars is no stranger to these cars and wouldn’t sell you a ticking time bomb.
At $36,000, there is a reason why this car has over 80 watchers on the listing. This is really good value for what the usual 6.3 asking price is. I doubt you’ll ever lose much money on one of these cars as they’ve been slowing creeping up in value over the past five years. So if your looking for a nice 6.3 that you can drive regularly, this one might be something to look into.
