Floor & Roof: ’65 Mercedes-Benz 230S Fintail
By now you know, we will feature any decent Finnie that we see. Our goal is to save as many of these as possible and get them back in circulation. So here is a really nice possibility. It is an original paint car with decent interior and in running condition. The paint looks salvageable too. The neat thing about this one is that it has a sliding sunroof and a 4-speed floor shift. We haven’t seen one with this combination and in this condition like ever. If we didn’t already have one, we wouldn’t be featuring this, we would be going to see it ourselves. A Finnie sunroof is a potential water leak hazard so we would check the floors of this one very carefully. The Mercedes Classic Center has just about everything you need to spruce this one up. Even if it runs well, you are going to want to go through this carefully. Little things that can disable a giant car like this one should be changed as a preventive measure. Things like shift lever bushings are a fine example. They turn to dust with age and will leave you stranded. They cost about $11.00 each from Classic Center. You can find the beautiful European lights on eBay Germany for a few hundred bucks. Please, someone we know buy this one please! The asking price is $10,000. A bit high but probably negotiable.
