Fully Restored 1953 Mercedes-Benz 170SD has 4 Cyl. Diesel Engine and 4-Speed Manual Transmission with Shift on the Column. Has always been Garaged since I have owned it. Only 6,494 of these cars were ever built. Few survive today in any condition. This exact 4-Door Sedan Model can be seen in many newly released WWII Themed movies. (Once you own one, you are always looking for them in Films). It was the first Model produced by Mercedes following WWII and was based on Pre-War designs and specifications. The only major change was the use of steel rather than wood for the flooring. When I purchased it in '09 it had just undergone a complete 18 Month, Frame-On, $60,000 Professional Restoration (to Original Factory Specifications). Prior to the extensive Restoration, it was in good condition showing no rust or body damage. Motor and Transmission were also in good working order. It had been well maintained by its previous owner(s). Work performed included: Complete stripping of paint to bare metal and repainted in original High-Gloss Mercedes Black. All upholstery was replaced including the front and rear seats, door panels, headliner and carpet. New windshield (due to scratches), re-chrome of bumpers, grill & trim. Hydraulic Brakes: new hoses, brake shoes and wheel cylinders. Engine was dis-assembled and checked & showed virtually no wear. These Diesel engines have been known to exceed 1,000,000 Miles! Engine compartment was cleaned and totally refurbished. In the years since I have owned this car it has not had any mechanical issues, break-downs or repairs. Even after sitting for many months at a time, it starts right up and drives well. Mostly driven at WWII Airshows and used in some WWII related TV & Movie work. Minor modifications were added to make it more "WWII Period Correct". Changes include replacement of tires with off-road capable "Knobby" Firestone tires, Black-Out covers for headlights, mounting original NSKK Vehicle Badge to radiator grill, adding left and right Military Pennant Mounts to Fenders and Front & Rear German Military License Plates. All are these items are easily removable to bring back to 1953 Mercedes Specs. The condition of the vehicle today shows a few minor imperfections from use and transportation to Movie Studios located in the NYC area (inside a fully enclosed trailer). Has some flaking of chrome plating on front bumper and minor paint scratches received while loading & unloading. Additional pictures available upon request. The Vehicle has no known mechanical issues. Starts/Runs/Drives and Stops well. M-B Dealer Service Manual and Owner's manual included. Speedometer/Odometer are in Kilometers. Now at 22,322. It is currently Titled/Registered/Insured in PA and is available for inspection and test drive by appointment. Buyer must arrange for vehicle pick-up. Local Transportation (within 250 miles) can be arranged prior to auction end at $1.00 per towed mile, after payment-in-full has CLEARED my account.
