The new year on Classic Virus starts with a seller submission: it’s a Mercedes-Benz 600 W100 series a.k.a. “Grosser”, which was also the favorite car of most dictators of that period.

The seller is also a dealer and he says that he purchased the car little more than three weeks ago from the second owner in Los Angeles: it looks a very original car even though it has been repainted once in the original blue shade: a classic color for such a diplomatic sedan.

Of course this car needs a deep renovation also because this was a very complicated car back in the day: a lot of electric-operated stuff and hydraulic suspensions are not easy to fix: basically this car needs a specialist but it is absolutely worth the effort. More images can be found here on Craigslist in Santa Barbara, CA, where the car is listed at $59,000 or you can just contact the seller by the form below.
