Corrected that. November 19th, 2025 at 12:32pm ESTPeoriaBenz (3) 0@mbheritage Roy... don't you mean MB Market? lol. Lovely car! If I were in the market for a 6.3, this would be a great one! GLWTA!November 19th, 2025 at 12:16pm ESTmbheritage (90) Seller 1Last day for this attractive 300SEL 6.3 auction. I encourage bidders to look at all the images again to fully understand the condition and provenance of the car. The car will be sold as-is with no warranty implied or otherwise. A California buyer will pay all applicable sales tax and license fees unless he/she is a currently licensed automobile dealer in the state. I can house the car at my gallery until the new owner is able to arrange trucking. Payment is to be completed via a bank wire within 3 business days of the auction’s close. Bidders should refresh their browsers regularly during the last minutes of the auction to insure they are seeing the latest bids. It’s generally not wise to try to place bids in the last seconds of the auction. They’re occasionally not processed by MB Market. For those new to the process, be aware that any bid placed in the last 2 minutes of the auction resets the auction clock to 2 minutes. Looking forward to a strong close!November 19th, 2025 at 12:00pm EST$22,000 bid placed by @SimondgbNovember 19th, 2025 at 9:58am EST$21,000 bid placed by @TastybenzNovember 17th, 2025 at 8:04pm EST$20,000 bid placed by @SimondgbNovember 17th, 2025 at 11:05am EST$19,000 bid placed by @TastybenzNovember 13th, 2025 at 8:17pm EST$18,000 bid placed by @SimondgbNovember 11th, 2025 at 7:36pm EST$15,250 bid placed by @300SLNovember 11th, 2025 at 12:29pm ESTmbheritage (90) Seller 0@handgemacht Thanks for the note. You're hearing the turn signal switch clicking... November 11th, 2025 at 12:25pm ESTmbheritage (90) Seller 1Welcome to my 1971 300SEL 6.3 auction. As you can see the car presents itself quite nicely although it certainly has a number of the typical 6.3 loose ends, many of which have been noted. Despite having been generally idle for the past few years, It runs and drives surprisingly well with good cold and hot starts and good transmission shift quality. I see negligible suspension bleed while sitting in my facility over the last few weeks. Please have a look all 257 images in the gallery. The repair orders included are definitely worth reading. Image 225 has recent compression readings. The car can be inspected and driven at my facility in Burlingame, CA – 5 minutes south of SFO. Pre-purchase inspections are available locally by appointment. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.November 11th, 2025 at 12:21pm EST$15,000 bid placed by @TastybenzNovember 11th, 2025 at 8:35am ESThandgemacht (1) 0What is the loud ticking at idle in the drive video? drive train or valve tickNovember 10th, 2025 at 3:35pm ESTTheMBManiac (3) 0I would encourage a third part inspection! Firstly, due to a costly past purchasing experience, which would have been less so if I were more diligent or if the seller was more transparent. Secondly, the cost of maintenance of the 6.3 and 6.9 is significantly higher than their M117 powered counterparts.November 10th, 2025 at 12:46pm EST$2,500 bid placed by @cory
