1970 Mercedes-Benz 600 Series Sedan

Debuting to international acclaim in 1963, the Mercedes-Benz 600 was the design of Bruno Sacco and Paul Bracq. All were hand-built to order with 2,677 produced between 1963 and 1981; the last U.S.-bound examples arriving in 1972. A 6.3-liter fuel-injected V-8 powers the 5,700-pound car to a top speed of 120 mph and a vastly complex system of hydraulics controls the sunroof, doors, seats, trunk, windows, and various other components. Most were purchased by heads of state, celebrities, and the rich and famous; including the Pope, three of the four Beatles, Fidel Castro, Pablo Escobar, and Elvis Presley.

This vehicle was in storage for 15 years and today, has little more than 18,000 miles on its odometer.
