If you have always wanted THE super coupe from the Gordon Gekko extravagant 1980's this is your chance! Up for auction is a super clean 1986 5.6 liter 238 horsepower 287 lbs. of torque fire breathing land rocket.  This is the forgotten coupe that was the car that all others aspired to be during the Big Hair Big Metal Bands heyday!  1986 is a pivotal year in the history of the W126/C126 chassis because it is the first year of the 5.6 motor that was a huge horsepower increase over the 5.0 of 1984/1985.  This motor was brought over to the USA to deal with the challenges being brought forth by the likes of BMW Lexus and Jaguar.  This 560 sec has ice cold AC all of the windows go up an down for the "full coupe" hardtop convertible experience.  The sunroof tilts perfectly but sometimes the sunroof does not slide back without a little help.  The original floor mats are in nice shape and the steering wheel has a cover on it.  All of the problems areas on the SEC are functioning in this car-- The seat belt "butler" is working. The dashboard is beautiful with no cracks and the rear self-leveling suspension is trouble-free. The steering wheel forward and back option is working. The seats are in good shape but have covers on them for protection. The fog-lights are fine as are the headlight wipers that come with the car.  The wood all around the car is in super shape and all of the window switches work fine.  The adjustable passenger mirror switch works great but sometimes the clip gets a little loose in its position.  The rear of the interior has cloth covers on it to protect it from the rear sun glare. The paint is in stellar shape but appears to have been redone at some point in its life.  The headliner is in nice shape but seems a little weak near the rear glass. A picture is included.  The rear glass is not leaking nor is it getting the famous white delamination. The HVAC system is great but sometimes the off button needs to be pushed a little harder to keep it in its position and on some settings the blower sends 20% of the air to the defroster vents.  I am not sure if this is normal or if it is a vacuum leak.  These cars are notorious for the complicated HVAC system. The original HVAC tutorial card is included.  The car has upgraded speakers all around and a Pioneer CD player but the original Becker is included for the purists out there.  The car has brand new tires as well as a set of new front brake pads and just had the transmission and rear differential serviced. The car even has the original wheels that it came with and has a great spare in the trunk and even still has the Mercedes-Benz First Aid Kit. The motor on this car is in top shape and she has a great bill of health.  She does not burn any oil and there is no noise coming from the chains or guides.  She idles a little over 600 @ idle with the air off and around 800 with the AC on.  I just completed a 500 mile round trip in the car and she was a champ.  The brakes and transmission service were just done after the trip so she is ready to enjoy for many more miles.  This car has the ultra rare BIRD brand armrest that opens up and can store things or add a cup holder. This may seem like no big deal but they are a $500 piece and still go for a lot of money used.  This car has all of the original manuals from 1986 and even has the letter stating how long it would take to get a new key from Germany should you need it. as well as the original instructional cassettes on the becker radio and SRS system. The reserve on this car is super low for how clean it is and this car is well above the other "rats" that are being shown on the internet.  She is not a museum piece but a solid driver that would make any person proud to own her.  They truly do not make the German Sherman Tanks like this anymore.  The hand built Mercedes coupes are a thing of beauty.  The weight of the door as it closes and makes the "bank vault thud" should be an experience that all should enjoy.  This truly is a land rocket that was designed to drive in comfort from Key West to Washington State.  I have great feedback and can send many more pictures.  I have been as honest about my knowledge of all defects but things will go wrong on a car new or old.  AC may stop working or transmissions may get sluggish etc over time but that will happen with cars.   If you have any questions please ask! As with any car that is nearly 30 years old with over 150k miles things may go wrong with the car that I was not aware of or were not a problem when I created this ad.  Please use common sense when bidding on an older car. I have to repeat what I wrote above because I thought this car had "sold" already but the buyer had already purchased a different vehicle in their home state and did not realize they won this SEC.
