1965 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Sunroof Coupe
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
The 1965 Mercedes-Benz 220SE is as timeless as the company itself and offered a truly refined package for discerning buyers of the day. As part of the W111 series, it features a distinctive "Ponton" design with graceful lines, a stately chrome grille, and signature stacked headlights. Positioned within the prestigious S-Class lineage, Mercedes-Benz's top-of-the-line model range, the 220SE embodied luxury and innovation. Its spacious and luxurious interior boasts fine wood trim, plush leather seating, and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a comfortable and sophisticated driving experience. Celebrated for its style, durability, and connection to Mercedes-Benz excellence, many people still find great pleasure in owning and driving these examples today.
A former resident of long-term ownership, this 1965 Mercedes-Benz 220SE was at the height of the three-pointed stars' offerings in the '60s and was considered one of the quintessential S-Class models. Well-preserved and honestly kept throughout its life, this Benz features an older professional respray in its original color of 050 White and rides on 14-inch steel wheels with color-matched centers wrapped in correct 185/80R13 whitewall tires.
Inside the S-Class cabin are front bucket seats upholstered in black leather, wood trim accents, and an AM/FM Becker radio. When the weather is favorable, one can roll down the windows and open the desirable sunroof for natural air-conditioning. Power is derived from a 2.2-litre M127 inline six that features Bosch mechanical fuel injection and pushes out a smooth 120 horsepower and 139 lbs-ft of torque. Other equipment includes a four-speed automatic transmission and heavy-duty heat exchanger. For ease of mind an engine compression test was completed in 2024 and showed 145, 160, 160, 150, 170, and 160 psi respectively. Riding on independent double-wishbone front suspension and rear coil springs and with a joint swing axle, you and your occupants effortlessly float down the road and with power steering, front disc and rear drum brakes, the driving experience is further elevated. Accompanying the sale of this Mercedes-Benz is a jack, spare tire, and emergency accessories kit.
A part of the praised S-Class lineup, this Mercedes-Benz 220SE with its desirable sunroof would make for a great leisure automobile that transports you back to the height of mid-'60s German style and luxury.
