This is my gorgeous 1968 Mercedes 250S S-class sedan with 21,931 miles. This is without a doubt one of the finest W108-body Mercedes for sale anywhere in the country.
This is a ONE-OWNER car purchased from the estate of the original owner who bought it brand new back in 1968.
This car has been garaged, well-kept and continuously serviced since new.
This Mercedes has an amazing number of features that made it very advanced for 1968, including unibody construction with safety cage, overhead cam 6-cylinder engine, four-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, fully independent suspension, and much more. As a result, this drives much like a modern car- to drive it you can hardly believe that it is 45 years old.
This car drives outstandingly well- it drives as well as it looks or maybe even better. The whole car is tight, solid and responsive. The steering, brakes, suspension, etc are all TIGHT and the car tracks down the road precisely and handles very well. This car is a true pleasure to drive and the superior German engineering is evident in the smooth and solid operation of every knob, lever, button and door handle.
This car is completely reliable, dependable and in excellent mechanical condition. The car starts, runs, shifts and drives beautifully. I would not hesitate to make a long drive anywhere in this car- I would drive to California and back with no worries.
The mileage reads 21,931. This mileage is strongly believed to be original and accurate miles, but due to the age of the car, the title will read that the mileage "exceeds mechanical limits".
The body and paint are in beautiful condition. The car has had one repaint, and the paint is very good for a 45 year old car. It shines well and looks great. There are no dings or dents of any significance- the body is completely straight and clean.
The interior is clean and in great condition. The driver's and passenger front floormats have been replaced with newer carpet, but the rest of the carpet is original and still in very presentable condition. The vinyl seats are excellent, with no rips or tears, and with all the springs and stuffing in good shape- no sagging or poking. The wood dashboard is in great shape and the original AM/FM radio works well. The steering wheel is the original white Mercedes wheel in great shape and the transmission shift knob is wood, also in great shape.
To nitpick, here are the only faults I can mention: there is what sounds like a very minor exhaust leak at the resonator, there are a few tiny bubbles in the paint, when I say tiny I mean the size of a pencil eraser, and there is one spot where paint has flaked off on the driver's side front fender that has been brush-touched. The electric clock appears to work but doesn't keep accurate time; it runs slow. The sideview mirrors are not the originals, but correct original mirrors are included with the car in the trunk.
This car is 45 years old and as such it is not brand new. Please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car. The interior and exterior show normal minor wear and tear and small faults and flaws. That said, this is probably the nicest W108 Mercedes you will find for sale anywhere.
Also included with the car are service/repair manuals, the original Mercedes-Benz dealer directory from 1968 as well as a box of spare parts and service parts.
You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home if you wish. Alternatively you can have the car shipped- I highly recommend Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481.
If you have questions, email me or call/text me at 440 339 4341.

2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked
Wed, 23 Apr 2014We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.
2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec gets 33 mpg, priced from $38,950*
Tue, 30 Apr 2013It's been more than a year since we first saw the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, but it looks like the compact diesel crossover is finally starting to roll into dealerships. Those wanting to buy a diesel GLK will only have to pony up an extra $1,500 over a base, gas-powered GLK350, as the GLK250's starting price is listed at $38,590 (*not including $905 destination charge).
The turbocharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel produces 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and Mercedes-Benz has also provided some fuel economy numbers for this model, with claimed EPA estimates of 24 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway. There is no listing for the GLK250 on the EPA's website yet, but the figures represent significant increase over the GLK350's lackluster 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway figures, which are for the rear-wheel drive model. The GLK250 comes standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system - a $2,000 option on GLK350 - meaning that if you want an all-wheel-drive version of the 2013 GLK, it's actually cheaper to opt for the diesel model. Head over to the Mercedes-Benz site for the full 2013 GLK-Class configurator.
2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
