MERCEDES MOTORING — Classic Mercedes-Benz, Lovingly Restored

Gasoline Coupe

1973 250C Gasoline Coupe

This gasoline model 250 coupe is one of the coolest cars I've ever restored. It's so basic, which means not much can go wrong. I have it set up on 15" steel wheels which I pulled from a W115 ambulance and brand new OEM matching 15" stainless steel polished wheel covers. It's slightly lowered but not enough to sacrifice the ride. It handles like new; the suspension and steering are so tight it's incredible (lowering probably helped). It tracks perfectly, even when you stomp on the brakes at high speeds, and it has a ton of power. The exhaust has a deep, low rumble, which took a lot to perfect. It just sounds so damn good. It has a really sleek/tough look. I've spent the past two years fine tuning everything. You name it, I've probably rebuilt or tinkered with it. The paint is completely original, and I refinished the wood recently with Macasar Ebony, a throwback to the '60s.  The only reason I have decided to sell it is because I'm building a new '73 280C for myself. I consider this one of the finest W114s around. Please let me know if you have any questions. I really want to see it go to the right home. (I plan on adding a full set of photos soon)
