You are looking at a Mercedes Benz that Road & Track magazine said was "Merely the greatest sedan in the world". If you wanted a car back in '69 that was roomy enough for the entire family and would do WELL OVER 100mph you would look no further then the 1969 Mercedes Benz 300 SEL with the HUGE 6.3 liter, 383 Cu In, 300 hp V8 with a mind blowing 437 POUNDS OF TORQUE! This was the king of the 4 doors in '69 and is still fast by today's standards. When tested in 1969 the numbers spoke for themselves. 14.25 in the 1/4 mile, 5.7 seconds 0-60 and a 144 mph top speed were all unbelievable numbers back in '69. With only 1,839 of these sedans ever sold from 1968 - 1973 these are becoming increasingly rare and hard to find. In 1969 there were only 601 of these cars sold.The paint on this car is in very good condition. It has a great shine and luster with only some cracking on the left rear fender. The front chrome bumper does have some minor dings and nicks to it but is in overall great condition with no pitting. The rear has no pitting and is in great condition. The airbags work fine but do tend to lose air after 2 or 3 days of sitting.
