Coming to the current owner's collection in February 2018 from a California collector, it was reported at the time of purchase that the Benz had been the subject of a comprehensive restoration and engine rebuild. The work that was said to be done included a new paintjob and interior, fresh wood trim redone by Madera Concepts in Goleta, California, a rebuilt fuel injection system, refreshed gauges, a redone Kühlmeister air conditioning system with new compressor, rebuilt starter, and new clutch, muffler system, gas tank, fuel pump, hoses, transmission and engine mounts, bushings, rear suspension and more. During the restoration, the sound system was upgraded with a new head unit while the power sunroof was retained. Since acquisition, the current owner has continued to carefully maintain the car in addition to rechroming the rear bumper with work carried out by Park Place Holdings in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Finished in Ivory over Cognac leather, this Grand Tourer is equipped with the desirable four-speed manual gearbox. Mercedes-Benz coupes of this era are wonderful cars. They are characterized by their exemplary build quality. Their independent suspensions give them wonderful road manners, and fuel injection gives them great drivability. This hand-built Mercedes is surely a great car for a collection or as a wonderful driver for the enthusiast.
