1960 Mercedes 220SE Cabriolet The 220SE was produced from only October 1958 to November 1960 with only 1,112 cabriolets built for the three model years. In 1958, Mercedes updated their 220 S when the 2.2-liter engine was fitted with Bosch fuel-injection and produced 137 BHP. Internally, the injection cabriolets were known by bodycode W128 with the engine code M127.983. The impressive 220 Cabriolet was produced by the Sindelfingen factory. Even more impressive than their styling and engineering was their price tag, which was a staggering $9,000 making it one of the most expensive cars of their era. The Mercedes-Benz W128 was a 6-cylinder automobile that was available in sedan, coupé, or cabriolet body styles and produced from October, 1958 to August, 1959 (Cabriolet A/C and Coupé to November, 1960). Its main model, the 220SE, was the last of the"Ponton" series which had design roots and styling cues beginning in 1953 with the Mercedes-Benz 180 sedan (W120 chassis). The 220SE featured a unitized body/frame construction and fully independent suspension. All models were fitted with a 2.2 L (2195 cc) straight 6 gasoline engine (M127) with aluminum head, overhead camshaft, and Bosch mechanical fuel injection. An automatic clutch was available with the column-mounted 4-speed manual transmission. This collectible was meticulously cared for an improved over the last twelve years by last owner. Complete records including over $40,000 in receipts detailing the improvements made on this classic are available with the car. The engine had a complete re-build done 3,000 miles ago by noted Mercedes craftsman, Steven Marx. Original paint code 5340, this 220SE is finished in the popular and stunning red/tan color combination. This timeless piece of history and art runs and drives flawlessly. The quality of care by the owner shows up in the burled maple dash, the condition of the top and the fine leather passenger compartment. With only 1,112 of these 220SE Cabriolets produced over three years, the values have been on a steady incline.
