1969 Mercedes 250/8 (slant 8 or stricht acht)
Inline 6 cylinder gas with 4 speed in the floor.
Original working Becker radio!!! The carpet was replaced.
She is a 20 footer, with plenty of blemishes. I think she has been repainted once. I bought it out of Indianapolis a few years ago. Owner told me it had been sitting for 35 years in a garage. He had the engine rebuilt. By the junk in the gas tank, I believed him.
I replaced the entire gas tank and filter screen. All new brakes (although the rear right caliper needs replaced- which the new caliper comes with the car). I replaced the voltage regulator.
Part of the headliner at the rear is coming down, the speedometer has a nasty squeal (I unplugged the cable from it). I don’t believe it is the original dash/mileage anyway. One push rod from the heater controls is broke at the valve, and the AC does not work (compressor needs replaced). Transmission linkage arm holes have a bit of wear and need replaced.
Other than that it is quite the head turner. We get smiles and waves!
