Used 1982 Mercedes-benz 500-Series Used Automatic Coupe 500 SEC, European Spec, special order Special order high performance 5 literL Gasoline

Seller Description

I’ve owned this1982 Mercedes 500 SECsince purchasing it in 1997from a dealer in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was fully optioned as a hand built special order vehicle in Germany and is very rare. It is definitely the only one like it in the United States.

Even though the 500 SECs were highly desirable, they were not available in the US until the 1985 model (which is somewhat different from the 1982 model). The most interestingly unique option on this car is a single cylinder gasoline engine located on the passenger side of the engine compartment. It is computer controlled from the center console to come on at whatever time you set and heats the engine block and interior of the car. The engine was also a special order high performance version 5 liter V8. The engine is ratedat over 300 hp. The tires are old but still serviceable, mounted on special order Lorinzer chrome wheels, upgraded from the standard wheels. Performance wise, it will do 160 mph, and is very fast from 0-60 mph. As can be seen from the photos, the factory clear coat is peeling, but the underlying paint is good. The leather at the top of the back seats is split, otherwise,the interior is in good shape, and the leather is beautifully petinaed andincludes matching blue sheepskin front seat covers and factory floor mats. It has factory option chrome wheel well trim, rear reflector panel between the tail lights, sun roof, heated seats, and individual climate controls. It has factory dual exhaust with “H” pipes and twin catalytic converters (installed for US emissions). Brake pads and rotors are good. New battery, spark plugs and wires. Nothing is missing. The VIN is in the door frame photo (WDB[hidden information]). The door frame sticker shows the 1984 date the car was imported to the US and modified for required US emissions.It is currently clear titled in Arizona and no longer requires emissions, due to the age of the vehicle.
