6.3

Welcome indeed Richard!

I am one of those members who have spent much thought & effort on keeping my 1968 6.3 in wonderful driving condition and she has truly made it worthwhile :)

Welcome to the group Richard!

Don't hesitate to ask when you have questions: There's a great deal of valuable knowledge to be found here and among the membership, particularly when it comes to the early 6.3's.

We look forward to hearing from you.

I am the one who purchased the 6.3 from mm63. At this point I simply picked the car up and brought it to the house. It will be a while before I can start spending any quality time with her. I do plan to start a new thread once I get moving on diagnosing the no-start issue.

I will say the seller is a stand up guy - the car was as he indicated and he and his family were super laid back.

I thought it would be nice for anyone that finds the thread to close the loop to me.

Wow, $11,500 seems like a real bargain. Why so cheap, is it because there are so many 6.3s circulating on the US market ? Had it been sold in Europe I am sure the price would end up much higher. "engine does not run", what's the problem, just make it run :)

Let's see ... just placed a 5k bid.

EDIT: I'm out. 5k is my maximum.

600 #796 (1967 US version)

300SEL 6.3 #1285 (1969 EURO version)

300SEL 6.3 #5346 (1971 US version project)

I listed my 1968 6.3 #43 on Bring a Trailer. I'm mixed about it, but hopeful it will go to a buyer who appreciates its significance and gets it back on the road!
