[W126 Coupe] FS: Two really nice 560SECs

[Bruce Mendel]

Hi all, sorry for FS post but thought someone on list might be interested or know someone looking. Prices not set yet, gauging market conditions, sorry. Noither will be cheap but both are pretty special cars.

1. 1987 midnight blue (904) over navy leather. 49K original miles. Michelins, chrome wheels and wheelwell arches. Insanely nice shape, looks like and drives like new car. Insepcted and serviced and ready to roll. A/C cold, heat hot, no suspension issues, no head gasket or other leaks, trunk bone dry, rear window clear, headliner not droopy, seats firm, needles orange, etc etc.

All body panels are original with VIN# stickers in place. Books, keys, and two new original leather key fobs in their bags from MB.

Idles without a hiccup, engine and trans smooth and strong. All electrics including belt presenters work properly. One owner southern CA car until 2008, then it went to Florida for a year. It never saw winter until I brought it here a month or so ago, and even now I don't drive it if it's wet/snowy out (so lately I don't drive it!). 

Just looks and drives fabulous. I overpaid for it, due to condition and history, but it was worth it. Email me at brucem105 at comcast.net or all 856-912-2600 if any interest.

2. 1991 560SEC US-legal Euro import, brought in by registered importer from Japan and made 50-state legal. I have owned 6 cars converted by this particular RI and this is another really nice one.

199 charcoal over black. 290HP Euro motor, Euro lights with in-car aiming, Euro bumpers, warning triangle in trunk, etc. Drives VERY strong on the road, like MB engineers intended the W126 to run in full Euro trim. 

Needs a little front suspension work (tie-rod ends, ball joints, the usual). Rear window shows just the very very beginning of some delam, but unless you know what to look for it is not readily visible. Trunk dry, no leaks, etc. Not as nice cosmetically as the 1987 above, but still a very nice car and a very string driver. Only 64K original miles. 

Japanese cars are meticulously maintained due to their very stringent semi-annual inspections and high registration costs..no one keeps a 'beater', and you can not drive these cars on the road unless everything is in proper operating order. Their inspectors put cars on a lift and use white gloves and flashlight/mirror, quite unlike most US DMV inspection stations where if your horn honks you get a sticker. :)

Thanks for reading.
