Vehicle description

Available is this mighty Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 (type: W116).
The 6.9 was the fastest European Sedan you could purchase in the late-70"s and one step on the gas pedal you understand why.
*A well-sorted 6.9 sold 2 months ago for $65k(!) with 75,000 miles.
This car runs well, but needs the complex Hydropneumatic Suspension gone through, and new Michelin"s.
It drives well, but hydraulic shocks are seeping and needs new Accumulators.
It received a re-spray about 15 years ago in its original "Milan Brown" color. Looks presentable.
