The Mercedes-Benz 600 was first introduced in 1963. The short wheel base (SWB) models were meant to be owner driven, and the long wheel base (LWB) commonly incorporated a central divider with a power window and were meant to be chauffeur-driven.

A full generation after it was built, the Mercedes-Benz 600 remains an engineering and stylistic masterpiece, as exclusive and visually imposing as ever. In its day, it was a favorite of the world’s wealthy and well-connected, used by everyone from Elvis Presley to the Pope. The Star and Laurel were impressively represented with the ultimate “Grand Mercedes.” This noble car was built to be peerless in performance while incorporating every conceivable feature important to passenger comfort and safety. It was, in period, the ultimate automobile in luxury, elegance and technical perfection; designed for the elite among the world’s most discriminating and influential people.

This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 600 SWB sports many appointments for your driving pleasure including power steering, power seats, power windows, power sunroof, air conditioning and factory radio. The interior black leather paired with black exterior displays well and the thin whitewall tires are a perfect offset with the colors. The mechanicals on this 600 are great, and the suspension stands strong. This Mercedes has undergone a cosmetic restoration including new paint, interior, wood and chrome. From 1964-1981 only 2,677 were built in many variants; with heads of state, movie star, playboy, sheik and royalty ownerships.
