Selling a 1961 Mercedes Benz 220SEb

Because of the high demand of the 1961 Mercedes Benz 220SEb in its convertible form, many coupes have been cut and converted into convertibles, particularly the 280SE 3.5 coupes. If you’re looking to sell, buyers will want verification via VIN that the car is indeed in its original form. Additionally, buyers will want to check for rust in some of the more rust-prone areas of the vehicle. This can be easily accomplished by allowing buyers to place the car on a lift or by allowing a third-party inspection of the vehicle. Produced from 1961 to 1965, approximately 16,902 units were produced. Of these, 14,173 were coupes and 2,729 were convertibles.
