This car belonged to just one couple from Coronado, CA (San Diego county) who were very active in the local Mercedes Benz of America club.  They participated in many tours and events the badges from which are included in the sale.

I'll include this Italian wood-rim Nardi wheel OR the nice original black stock wheel (the shift knob can easily be changed as well).

The upholstery is ALL original.

The camera makes the seats look a bit gray or blue but they are indeed black.

Jump seat folded down.

Jump seat in up position

Body number stamped into the corner of the hood.

The correct "notches" are intact.

Absolutely original trunk floor (note, this is the area that is many times rusted even on good Pagodas).

Original trunk lid labels.

Original, unused spare.

I fear I'm over using the word "original" but here it is again.  An absolutely original undercarriage.

This is the texture of factory undercoating.

Correct black on the rocker panels(original - not re-painted.
