1971 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL

• Dark brown paint is deep and glossy with straight panels in the showroom shots, no repaint needed on what is shown
• Chrome grille, bumpers and headlight surrounds are bright and clean, no rechroming cost visible
• Rear badge reads 6.3 and the book is for a 300 SEL 6.3, so this is the 6.3 car even though the title omits it - check the listing title matches the car
• Tan leather seats front and rear look smooth and uncracked, no need to reupholster
• Dash wood and door wood look rich and intact with clean door cards, no wood refinishing visible
• Engine bay is clean and orderly with tidy hoses and painted covers, no obvious detail or leak cleanup shown
• Trunk is clean with a full spare on good tread, no trunk rust repair visible in the photos
• Underside is not shown in the sampled photos, so I cannot judge rust or leaks underneath - budget for an inspection

Money: With no price listed, the glossy paint, bright chrome and near-new tan leather support a strong sold price for a 6.3 - the money was in the condition, not in needed cosmetics.
