Details

This 1990 Mercedes-Benz Flagship model features a combination of code 040 Jet Black with Palomino leather interior. The Mercedes-Benz 560SEC coupes were based on the solid W126 S-Class or Sonderklasse which means special-class sedan, meaning that the highest levels of engineered comfort and opulence found its way into the personal luxury coupe from West Germany. The project was spearheaded by Bruno Sacco, the Italian-born designer who was responsible for the visual appearance of the brand from 1975 to 1999. He was first the chief stylist and later chief designer at Mercedes-Benz and was famous for replacing chrome-plated opulence with straightforward lightweight design and aerodynamic efficiency. Nearly everything was standard on these models including power windows, locks, antenna, sunroof, air conditioning, premium sound, leather interior and rear headrests just to name a few. Open the doors and seat belts are automatically presented. The 560SEC features Mercedes' fabled and legendarily long-lived M117 V8 engine. With single overhead camshafts, all-aluminum construction, and Bosch Jetronic fuel injection, the naturally aspirated 5.5-liter engine was factory rated at 238hp and 287 ft/lb of torque. The 4G-Tronic four-speed automatic transmission shifts confidently through the gears and both engine and transmission are original to this car. Always garage kept. Includes recent service updates including air conditioning, battery, belts, brakes, plugs, wires, hoses, filters, fluids, valve-cover gaskets, idle control unit, OEM exhaust resonators, steering box, bushings, ball joints and H&R lowering springs. Rides on 18-inch AMG Monoblock wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The owner's manual, original brochure and reproduction widow sticker are also included. Originally sold in California where it remained until now.
