Rare 1962 Mercedes-Benz 300SE Fintail Sedan
This 1962 Mercedes-Benz 300SE Sedan is an extremely rare find and the ideal restoration candidate. White with red interior. A solid, straight, and honest car with good panel fit and door gaps. Just out of long term ownership and storage. Not currently running as it has been off the road for several years. The Mercedes-Benz's 300SE Fintail was the top of the line and even today it remains a luxurious and highly capable automobile. The example offered here represents the luxury and class of this much sought-after model. The 300SE was significantly refined with its Bosch fuel-injected, six-cylinder engine producing 170 bhp, sufficient for around 200 km/h. Of particular interest to enthusiasts is that the 300SE's engine is a detuned version of the same engine that powered the 300SL. As is the case with Mercedes-Benz's flagship models, 300SE ownership was confined to a few very lucky, very wealthy individuals. One could have bought two of the legendary E-Type Jaguars for the price of a single 300SE. Because of its expense and exclusivity, only 5,202 had been sold when production ceased in 1965. Original examples of top-of-the-line automobiles are greatly sought after in today's classic car market.
