This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 300SE cabriolet was acquired by the seller from its original owner in 1977 and was refurbished in 2005. Work involved a repaint in metallic red, a re-trim of the interior in beige leather, and the installation of a replacement black soft top as well as a rebuild of the 3.0-liter inline-six. The car is equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission, 14″ Bundt alloy wheels, a cabin heater, disc brakes, air suspension, a push-button radio, and power steering. This W112 cabriolet is now offered with the owner’s manual, a service manual, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
Finished from the factory in Dark Green, the car was repainted in metallic red in 2005 following the completion of body work, which involved replacement of the fenders, quarter panels, and rear panel along with the rear floors and crossmember. A replacement black soft top was also installed and the brightwork was re-chromed at that time.
The 14″ Bundt wheels are mounted with 195/70 Michelin tires. The car is equipped with a factory air-suspension system and power-assisted steering. Braking is handled by vacuum-boosted hydraulic discs at each corner. The seller notes a leak from the air suspension system. Six wheel covers are included in the sale.
The individual front seats and rear bench were re-trimmed in beige leather and the burl wood dash trim was refurbished in 2005. Interior appointments include a Becker push-button AM/FM radio, a cabin heater, front headrests, power windows, and a clock. The power windows are slow to operate.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames VDO instrumentation consisting of a 7k-rpm tachometer, a 140-mph speedometer, and vertically oriented gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 84k miles, approximately 30k of which were added under current ownership.
The 3.0-liter M189 inline-six was factory rated at 170 horsepower and 183 lb-ft of torque and features Bosch mechanical fuel injection. The engine was reportedly rebuilt during the refurbishment. The generator was rebuilt in 2018.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The forward idle up solenoid was replaced in 2018.
The data and chassis tags have been removed but are included in the sale along with an owner’s manual and service manual. The car is titled using VIN 11202312009651, which matches the number listed on the chassis tag.
