Welcome to my hell.....
Well, I don't speak German, but I believe the word for sedan is limousine.
Nice... Too nice to race...
But maybe LS....
This is right in Steve's (aussiesmg) back yard, why hasn't he bought this yet?
You know, I've always wanted to ride around in style like a third world dictator.
Based on this one picture alone, I'd have believed this was a recently restored car...
The CMS project Merc' has me hankering for a fintail pretty bad.
Mmmmm.... Euro headlights.
For sale is a 1963 mercedes limo. Don't know much about it but it is in good shape for its age. Its has not run in ten years but has been kept tarped in a barn. I also have a spare engine. Asking $1500 OBO
Honestly, by looking at the pictures, I don't think it has been restored. It does look like it was kept indoors, occasionally used, and etc......
One heck of a find for the $$$ though. Oh, also.......it probably weighs enough to tow a lighter challenge car on a trailer......well, after an LSx 4l60e swap. I was going to do something similar to a 67 Caddy limo years ago.
Where's my dang teleporter?! Must have left it in U-Stor during the garage rebuild...
I'd cruise that for a while and finally sell a car for more than I paid for it.
A car from those "dark ages" when Mercedes still made you roll the windows down by hand, lock the doors by hand, and the upholstery was a "special" type of vinyl called M-B tex.

I went shopping for a modern MB wagon with my brother-in-law last year and was absolutely floored when they said that most of the production was MB-Tex. I don't recall if it was just the E class, but the salesman said real leather was a rarity...
Also, the thought of this with a LSx in it is quite evil and tempting...

I don't know who started this but a Merc is a Mercury, not a Mercedes.
I guess you could say it like "murse" and it would be ok.
Peter,
I'm not sure what you call a "modern" M-B wagon, but in the early 2000's (as in at least 2002) the "E" class wagons had combination leather and vinyl (M-B tex?) seats. Most modern cars with leather/vinyl seats have the leather on the seating surface and the vinyl on the sides and back. The same year "C" class wagon had (apparently?) cloth and vinyl seats. Again, I would imagine the cloth is the seat cushion, the vinyl is the sides and back.
In the '70s, when I bought my new Audi, it had vinyl seats...just like the Pinto I would buy to replace it 3 years later. Cloth was the other "choice" and very hard to come by.
fifteen hundred berkeleying dollars!?!?!?!?!?! where have you been all my life?!?!
I would daily that in a heartbeat if I had the cash. gorgeous.

Ah, force of habit sorry. Around here, where we don't have Mercurys, Merc is common shorthand for Mercedes.
looks great for the money
