Enjoy December 8th, 2022 at 5:22pm ESTgermancars (41) Seller 0Reserve is off, this car will sell today! goos luck to the bidders.December 8th, 2022 at 5:20pm EST$14,750 bid placed by @Tomus1975December 8th, 2022 at 5:08pm ESTgermancars (41) Seller 0@2plus2 perfect spec December 8th, 2022 at 4:31pm EST$14,500 bid placed by @HeartfordDecember 8th, 2022 at 4:27pm ESTgermancars (41) Seller 0@ProdigalPetrolHead the winner of this auction will take home a great example of one of the best engineered Mercedes-Benz ever and an absolute appreciating market. Good 140s will always have a strong position as an investment. You can't have any bank or investment accounts that will give you such a return for so little money. W140s and C140s are coming and becoming the next big thing.December 8th, 2022 at 4:17pm ESTProdigalPetrolHead (0) 1TONS to love about this car. From the color combination to the wheels, I'm convinced these will be appreciating assets when spec'd like this.

Sure there is probably the odd partsbin part installed on a later car, but the main biodegradable engine upper, lower, and body harnesses are not compatible with a 1996 model, due to the layout of the computers and their connectors. I went through an entire harness overhaul on my 1995 S600 which was indeed affected. I purchased a 96 wiring harness made in 11/95 which was in perfect order. It didn't fit since it was the newer version. December 7th, 2022 at 4:22pm ESTgermancars (41) Seller 0@rubinhoward600 Thanks for your kind words and you are on point. Hopefully it goes to a great home that will drive it, enjoy it and continue a great heritage. December 7th, 2022 at 4:16pm ESTBenzifyExport (32) 0Someone needs to buy this car, Monogram their initials in the same color as the pinstripe, and move to Palm Beach. Such a gorgeous (and rare) color combination. You never see these C140's on the road. The way they compose themselves and stand proud amongst modern cars is a beauty in itself. And once you try to close the door, you will quickly understand why the W140 engineered soft close functions. GLWTA, someone will be very lucky and pleased with this car. Not to mention the Monoblocks...

However in the pictures it’s not there. Seems strange. December 5th, 2022 at 7:46pm ESTgermancars (41) Seller 1@Bpower98 this car has zero rust. Was put away for winter every season. It will be ver hard for anyone to find a 140 chassis this clean and unmolested. It spent a lot of time in climate controlled storage and babied. I will prepare some undercarriage photos to upload.December 5th, 2022 at 6:00pm ESTBpower98 (0) 0As the car was sold in New York, is there any visible rust? Are their photos of the underside?

I've been wanting one of these for a couple years. Thanks again for the information. November 29th, 2022 at 5:35pm ESTgermancars (41) Seller 1@MATZBATZ80 Thanks for the compliments, the pictures don't really do justice to the color and the condition of this car. Regarding your questions: 1) Harness seems to be in perfect functioning condition as it is beyond the date range for this precise model. The way the engine idles and runs, shows that the harness is unmolested and in proper factory specification. 2) Radio function is also to par with specs, and considering
