1958 Mercedes Benz 190SL VIN# 7502565
This is a garage find 2-owner all time California car sold by Lloyd Pearson in Pasadena, CA, on December 17, 1958. This is a very solid car with minimal rust. It is said that the car was in good running condition when it was parked last back in 1998 at garage storage in Riverside, California. Likewise, it was stated by the previous owner that the car had less than 14K miles since engine rebuild, and the Solex carburetor was replaced to Mikuni brand.
Once I got the car, I replaced the fuel pump, ignition coil, disposed old gas and cleaned & sealed the gas tank. The car started after few cranks and ran fine with no sign of black or white smoke along with good oil pressure & compression across all cylinders. All the electrical is in good working condition except the tachometer. The car runs and drive, however the brake master cylinder leaks brake oil so it's unsafe. The interior of the car is presentable for the age. My agenda was to restore the car to showroom condition, however I have no time or space for it now. The car comes with original hard top, original Owner's Manual & Service book, and old Solex carburetors. Car does not come with soft top.
