1959 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Convertible

  • Chassis Number: 128030Z9501401
  • Engine Number: 27983.00809
This 1959 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet was offered for sale at the 2006 Gooding & Company Auction held in Pebble Beach. It is finished in a two-tone color scheme and has been treated to a total restoration by Bob Platz of Precision Autoworks in New Jersey. It comes equipped with the original Mexico radio and correct burgundy leather interior.

It is powered by a 2195-cc inline six-cylinder engine that produces 134 horsepower. The power from the fuel-injected engine is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox. There are four-wheel servo-assisted brakes and coil suspension in both the front and rear.

It was offered for sale without reserve and estimated to sell at auction for $90,000-$120,000. The car did find a new owner, though it was just under the estimated value. The selling price was $83,600.
