For Sale: 1963 Mercedes-Benz 220 in Englewood, Colorado

A rare car when new and even more so now-the classic Mercedes-Benz 111-series cabriolets were top-of-the-line cars at the time and came with luxurious full leather interiors with beautiful wood trim on the dash, insulated convertible top and a fuel injected engine when virtually everyone else would still offer carburetors for another decade! Many 220s had automatic transmissions that were still fairly primitive, but this one has a traditional manual four-speed. It was optioned with air conditioning that has recently been upgraded to modern R-134A refrigerant.

Our consignor's parents bough the car in Carmel, California when it was two years old and it has been in his family ever since. We have a thick file of service records going back to the '60s. Recently the car has been repainted in the original #717 Papyrus White, the entire interior has been redone in new Bamboo leather along with a new canvas top. A factory rebuilt engine was recently installed ($26,000) and the car runs & drives very well. We have the original owner's books (complete with dozens of dealer servicing stamps) and the trunk equipment.

Unlike many vintage cars, a 220SE is functional, safe, reliable, enjoyable to drive and still in five figures, making it a good investment, too.
