For Sale: 1971 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL in Stratford, Connecticut for sale in Stratford, CT

1 of 50
Vehicle Description The Mercedes Benz 300SEL 6.
3 is often credited as the precursor to the brand's now-ubiquitous performance subdivision:
AMG.
Started as a company engineer's private venture, the 300SEL 6.
3 is a german muscle car in a fine European suit.
Erich Waxenberger, a Mercedes mechanical engineer and performance enthusiast, took the current 300SEL and swapped its 3.
0L in-line six-cylinder engine for the 6.
3L V8 from the Mercedes 600 Pullman.
The result was phenomenal and was approved for production almost instantly.
Externally, little differentiated it from its six-cylinder counterpart but, mechanically, little remained the same.
The mechanically fuel-injected V8 produced 247 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, propelling the 3900-pound sedan to 62 miles per hour in 6.
3 seconds.
With a 142 mile per hour top speed, the 300SEL 6.
3 became the world's fasted four-door sedan.
Keeping the luxury saloon stable at high speeds was a newly-developed, self-adjusting air suspension, aided by vented disc brakes on all four corners.
The car earned a reputation for offering a previously unseen combination of luxury and performance and quickly earned a place as a highly desirable piece of Mercedes' history.
This 1971 Mercedes Benz 300SEL 6.
3 is an excellent example, finished in grey over a deep blue leather interior with a desirable factory sunroof.
The timeless combination perfectly suits the classic styling of the 300SEL.
The car is in excellent condition both mechanically and cosmetically and has been well-cared for throughout its life.
Now offered for sale on behalf of its fourth owner, this 6.
3 has been maintained by our technicians for the last 12 years and shows just 68,000 original miles.
A turn-key classic and one of only 6,500 300SEL 6.
3s ever made, this car presents a fantastic opportunity to own one of the most historically significant performance sedans Mercedes has ever produced.
Offered at $60,000.
