Description

Back in Sweden during the 1980s, fans of the model could turn on their TVs and watch the American series Dallas, where one of the main characters cruised around in a Mercedes convertible.

This particular car was imported from California, USA, in 2016 and registered in Sweden in 2017. Since then, it has had four owners, and the current odometer reading is 145,781 km, equivalent to 145 781 miles. A binder with documentation is included, allowing you to trace the car's history from the first owner's name, through its import to Sweden, up to the current owner.

Some of the images have an incorrect format and would be "cropped" if rotated. We have chosen to include them in their original format to provide potential buyers with a better overview of the car's condition. These images are at the end of the series.

The car passed its inspection in 2023 and is approved until April 30, 2025. The car comes with original tools, manuals, a spare wheel, and four original wheels. See the pictures. As this is a remote auction, the seller has provided the images and information about the car. Bilweb Auctions has not tested the car on-site.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Equipped with a 5.5-liter V8 engine, rated at 227 horsepower, and a four-speed automatic transmission. According to the owner, the engine and transmission perform perfectly. The owner has also inspected the underside of the car and found no leaks from the drivetrain. The car is also equipped with air conditioning, though its functionality is uncertain.

  • Interior condition:

    A new leather interior has been installed, along with new wood panels. See the pictures for details.

  • Exterior condition:

    The body is straight and in good condition. The upper part of the body may be the original paint, though this is not certain. Upon close inspection, it's noticeable that the paint on the upper body has become slightly thin from years of polishing, almost to the point of being polished through. The side panels of the body have a newer paint job in good, usable condition. There are minor marks on the car, but nothing significant. A new soft top has been recently installed. The car is equipped with new Monoblock aluminum wheels, with Michelin 225/40Z R17" tires in the rear and 225/45Z R17" tires in the front. The original Mercedes aluminum wheels, in very good condition with nearly new tires, are included. See pictures. The spare wheel is also the original aluminum rim.

    The top side of the rear bumper has a few dents, likely from a previous owner dropping something on the bumper while unloading the trunk. The car also comes with the original hardtop.

  • General condition:

    A stylish and well-maintained Mercedes, with the interior in excellent condition. The exterior, however, does not quite reach show quality. The paint, minor marks, and rear bumper slightly lower the overall rating. The car is in the upper tier of a well-preserved, usable condition.
