Looking for a large luxury Benz, but feel today’s S-Cl*** is too
- erm, pedestrian for you? May we suggest this clean 1970 600,
currently up for grabs on eBay Motors:

No, this isn’t one of the grotesquely-large six-door Pullman
limousines, but the “short wheelbase” car (can you call 126
inches short?) still offers drivers and p***engers plenty of
amenities for a 30-year-old car. This U.S. model, sporting the
legendary W100 6.3-liter V-8, sports all the subtle touches that
made the 600 the star of Benz’s lineup for years: adjustable air
suspension, hydraulic power seating (fore and aft), wine cooler -
and much more. Sure, all those features - and a boat load of
sheetmetal -mean the 600’s hefty, but the fuel-injected 300-
horsepower motor can still manage to smoothly move the car up to
130 mph.

Although treated to a mechanical restoration in 2003, this 600
is largely original, having covered only 65,000 miles in its
three decades on this planet. If money were no object - given
the car’s reserve is over $60,000 and carries an estimated
mileage of 10 mpg city - we’d be inclined to rack a host more
miles upon the grosser Benz, as it just may be the ultimate way
to cruise in comfort.
