About this car
This 1966 250SE Coupe is offered on eBay by homerj40 in Glendale, CA. The asking price is $31,000. The car is finished in Red over Parchment, an automatic gearbox. The odometer shows 62,883 miles. The listing does not name the model; the engine number it gives (129.981, the M129 six) and the coupe body identify the car as a 250SE Coupe. On a W111, check the sills and floor pans for rust and make sure the chrome and interior trim are complete, as those parts are expensive to replace.
What the photos show
- Burgundy paint is deep and glossy and the chrome grille and bumpers look bright, so the top side needs no paint money.
- Light seats look excellent with no tears and the headliner looks clean and tight, so no seat or headliner spend shows.
- Dash wood is the big interior problem — the top veneer is cracked, peeling and lifting in the photos, so a full wood refinish is real money.
- Lower door panel looks yellowed and stained in close-up, so budget for a deep clean or dye on the door cards.
- Glovebox area is open with the box out and rust showing around the trunk-side shock mount, so interior and rust repair money is hiding there.
- Engine bay inner panels are glossy burgundy and the motor looks complete, so the bay presents well for a driver.
- Underside photos show surface rust on suspension parts, so budget for a clean and protect underneath.
- One underside close-up shows rust holes eaten through the floor pan, so floor welding is needed — that is the biggest bill on this car.
- Tires show deep tread in the underside shots, so no immediate tire spend shows.
Money: At $31,000 the glossy paint and lovely seats tempt, but the holed floor pan, peeling dash wood and rust at the shock mount mean restoration money on top of the price.
