1966 Mercedes-Benz 300SE news, pictures, and information

The Mercedes-Benz 300SE was powered by a six-cylinder engine that displaced 183 cubic-inches. It was available as a Sedan or Convertible and was lavishly equipped with amenities such as air suspension, power steering, and automatic transmission. The convertible body-style was soon dropped, leaving just the sedan. A convertible was still part of Mercedes-Benz lineup and could be found in the 250 Series for just under $10,000. The 300SE Sedan set the buyer back $8050.

The overhead cam six-cylinder engine produced 185 (SAE) horsepower and 205 foot-pounds of torque.

In 1965, Mercedes-Benz had introduced an updated version of their 300 model. It shared several of its design cues with its stable mates and was powered by a fuel-injected, 3-liter engine. The 300SE was replaced in 1968 by a long wheelbase 300SEL which had a smaller 2.8-liter engine.
