[W126 Coupe] SEC Production Numbers

[Dan Stratton]

Gerry,

Those production numbers are surprising to me, as are the estimated survivors (I would have figured many more survivors, but fewer built to begin with). What blows me away is scarcity then of other Mercedes I own (like my '59 220S Cabriolet - about 3000 coupes and cabs built over 4 years of production - 700+ in '59). Wonder how many of those are left?

Another source I have regarding total production of the 560SEC:

1986: 5786 units (1748 sold in the US)
1987:  5456 (1883 sold in the US)
1988:  5012 (1748 sold in the US)
1989:  5299 (1747 sold in the US)
1990:  5270 (1787 sold in the US)
1991:  2138 (676 sold in the US)
1992:  0 units (557 sold in the US, left-over 1991 models)

I would be HIGHLY surprised if more than 2,500-3,000 of those 10,100 US cars were still registered 
& actively being driven on the road today.
