AI Listing Summary
This 1953 Mercedes-Benz 300 Cabriolet D, a single-family-owned classic, was sold for $146,000. It features a rebuilt 3.0-liter inline-six engine, a four-speed manual transmission, and a mechanical refurbishment from 2015-2020. While the car presents well with its black paint and red leather interior, it does have some cosmetic issues, including paint imperfections and wear on the convertible top.
Condition
6
The car has undergone a mechanical refurbishment between 2015 and 2020, including an overhaul of the engine and carburetors. The exterior shows evidence of repair work and paint cracking, and the convertible top exhibits fading and wear. The interior has been partially refurbished, but there is discoloration and wear on the door panels and headliner. The fuel-level gauge, clock, and radio are inoperative. These factors indicate that the car is in good condition with some areas needing attention.
