[W126 Coupe] Sale of almost perfect 1984 500 SEC

[Zachary Sank]

Because of old age, mine, I can no longer enjoy the fantastic qualities that I bought this car to enjoy.  I ordered it in 1984 from an MB dealer in France, and shipped it by boat to Jacksonville, and by car carrier to Atlanta, where.it and I live to this day.

The car has 110,000 miles on it. It is midnight blue with beige leather interior. I have the purchase order and option selection sheets, as well as the EPA and DOT docs that made it US legal. It has French bells and whistles: ultrasonic glass breakage detector, vibration sensor, and separate alarm siren and horns. I have every record on its maintenance and repair. Shortly after it became U.S. legal, however, it became illegal. I reinstalled the original lights and removed the added emissions equipment, except for the cats (4). It meets annual state emission tests easily

The car has its original 245 hp, even with the cats. With a calibrated speedometer, it reached 138 mph before I ran out of empty expressway. It had not stopped accelerating, but I had to. 

The car is just shy of showroom condition. Jonathan Hodgman has seen the car. Last spring, he helped me get rid of a varying idle speed during the first few minutes after a cold start. Perhaps he would not mind vouching for its appearance. The car is a "garage queen", and I want to sell it to someone who wishes to keep,it that way. 

Very detailed photos available for serious enquiries. I want it to have a good home.

Thanks,

Zachary
