This outstanding example of the 560 SEL has been meticulously preserved and maintained. With only 74,000 miles over the last 26 years, this pristine automobile is as stunning as the the day it was first purchased. Built at a time when many consider Mercedes at the peak of its craftsmanship, this work of art sold for nearly $70,000 in the 1980's.
Ready to show or drive across the country, this wonderful automobile performs on the road with style, precision, and power to spare.
Complete with perfect chrome accent additions all around and original paint in 'midnight-blue' (dunkelblau) - very few un-restored models of this caliber still exist.
The suspension is perfect with new accumulators and hydro-pneumatic shocks. The original undercoating is like new, and the original spare tire (never down) and tool kit is included along with a professionally installed Sony 10-disk changer. New brake pads and rotors installed along with a new radiator in the last 20K miles. Complete maintenance records.
This is one of the finest examples of this model and vintage you are likely to encounter. This car is being offered now for $15,200.

Premiering in September 1979 as the successor to the earlier W116 line, the W126 was the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz flagship to officially bear the S-Class name and remains the most successful production S-Class in history. The model name 560 SEL denotes the engine size in liters (5.60); Sonderklasse ("special class"); Einspritzung (fuel injection); Lang (long wheelbase).
The W126 line introduced a host of new safety features, and ushered in the next phase of Mercedes-Benz styling. In 1981, the W126 introduced the modern airbag, as patented by Mercedes-Benz in 1971. Other innovations included the supplemental restraint systems, seatbelt pretensioners, and traction control.
The W126 line lasted from 1979 through 1991, its model year extended by the first-ever S-class mid-cycle update. Its twelve-year production run was longer than any S-Class before or
since. It was followed by the W140 S-Class in 1991.
