Vehicle description
Bought this car 2 years ago and have enjoyed every minute of driving it. Not a perfect example, but can be if your looking for a last year big body coupe. Needs rear suspension work, mechanic says it"s rear bearings. Needs new catalytic converters (CEL light on for this). And needs new rear window regulator. Has some dings on the body, 1 spot of rust in the rear. Garaged vehicle, from Tennessee. Undercarriage is great. AMG wheels included. Original window sticker included, $93,795.00. Very Rare car, less than 1500 examples were made in 1999. Clean Illinois Title in hand, 2 sets of keys. Very hard to find under 100k miles.
Production of the 500 V8 and 600 V12 coupes ran from September 1992 through to September 1998 (Confirmed by Daimler AG website and google play book). 6 In March 1994, the smaller 420 V8 was introduced to the coupe, but only in selected markets. The 420 ceased production slightly earlier than its larger capacity siblings, in August 1998. 7 A replacement for the C140 was not introduced to the USA until the 2000 model year. Therefore, excess 140 S-Class stock manufactured in 1998 were sold in the US as 1999 model year cars. 8
The C140 coupe, like the W140sedan, has a VIN plate positioned on the hood slam panel. This is a black and aluminum colored plate, as shown in the images. The VIN will confirm the specific C140 model you have (be it a 420, 500 or 600). The following prefixes were applied to each C140 series: WDB1400702A330059 Model Vin Prefix 420 140.063 500 140.070 600 140.076 The VIN that trails the above prefixes will be 8 digits, and unique to each car. You can use that number to identify the basic specification of your C140 coupe through a website such as https:/ www.vindecoderz.com . Mercedes 140 S Class Engine number: The M119 V8 engine has an engine number commencing with prefix "119" The M120 V12 engine has an engine number commencing with prefix "120"
