AI Listing Summary
This 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300b Adenauer, owned for 54 years, features a 3.0-liter inline-six engine and a four-speed manual transmission. Finished in black over beige cloth, it includes a sunroof, wood veneer dashboard, and a glass partition. Noted repaints, rust repair, and an engine rebuild indicate restoration efforts, while the need for engine warm-up suggests some mechanical quirks.
Condition
6
The car has undergone refurbishment, including reupholstered seats, a replacement headliner and carpets. However, there are repaints noted on the fenders, doors, trunk lid, and hood, along with rust repair performed in 2019. The engine was rebuilt in 1973, and the carburetors were overhauled in 2020, indicating it's been maintained but has also seen significant use and restoration. The seller notes the engine needs to warm up before driving to prevent stalling, and panels have been added underneath. There are some imperfections balanced with restoration efforts, which puts it in the 'Good' to 'Very Good' range.
