1970 Mercedes Benz 300SEL

The Bio in Dom's words, and since he restored this 109 who better than him to share its story.  The story of this Mercedes Benz 6.3 began in the showroom of a San Francisco California Mercedes Benz Dealership 53 years ago where this exquisite Dunkelrot Red Exterior W/ Cognac Interior 1970 Mercedes Benz 300 SEL 6.3 was on display for sale. According to excerpts from Graham Nash’s autobiographical book “Wild Tales A Rock and Roll Life '' Rock and Roll Hall Of Famer's Graham Nash and David Crosby of Crosby Stills and Nash entered that San Francisco showroom one afternoon in 1970.  They were greeted by a salesman who exuded doubt that these two Hippies were going to be buying these incredible cars . Both of the guys were looking at a 1970 300 SEL 6.3 Mercedes Benz.
The salesman clearly missed the mark on his assessment of them , and in the book on page # 187 Graham Nash states that at one point he looked at the salesman and said “My friend will take the blue one, and wrap that baby up for me” That “baby” is now being presented to you today and the rest is history!

This Mercedes Benz has journeyed through time, and it came into my life in 2014. It did not look like the Benz that Graham Nash bought that day in that San Francisco showroom, but I was determined to make it showroom quality once again. The years that had gone by made it apparent that this incredible machine was going to require a full restoration to bring it back to its former glory , so I got busy, and for the next 3 years I restored this Classic AACA National Senior Award winning beauty to the pristine condition you are viewing it today.
Now she is ready to be driven , enjoyed, and to find a new home. I’m proud and humbled to say that this 109 has been featured along with the story of my 55 years of experience as an Antique and Classic Car restoration expert, and you can find and read these articles in National Magazines including The Jan- Feb issue 2019 Star Magazine of the Mercedes Benz Club of America
