1959 Mercedes-Benz 220S Ponton

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1959 Mercedes-Benz 220S Ponton. Finished in paint code DB335 Mercedes Blue, this car underwent a comprehensive mechanical and interior cosmetic refresh in 2014-2015 at a cost exceeding $40k. Body is straight with good gaps. Paint and chrome pre-date the more recent restoration work and present to a good driver standard throughout. Very original underside has never been undercoated and shows surface rust, but no known rust-through or rot.

Interior was fully restored by Bud's Benz in 2014 at considerable expense and included new square-weave carpet, new leather seat upholstery, new headliner, all new door seals, restored heater and vent system, restored wood and more -- the interior still presents beautifully and all lights, switches, gauges, climate sliders, blower, etc. are working as they should.

Under the hood is a 2.2 liter overhead camshaft inline six-cylinder engine fed by dual carbs and mated to a four-speed column-shift manual transmission. Extensive mechanical work in 2015 included a top-end rebuild, carburetor rebuild, new clutch and flywheel, new generator and a complete brake system overhaul. This W180 runs and drives well and is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. Original books and nearly 10 years of records are included with the sale.
