1996 Mercedes Benz S500 Short Body
Quick Glance
- A real driver, now at 160k Kilometers (100k miles).
- 5-speed Auto
- Beige Leather upholstery
- Electric Seats, front and back
Vacuum Door/Trunk mechanisms as well as all electronics work perfectly regardless of our lead-foot use. 120 mph cruise feels a little safer than the 740 iL, just zip the fun factor. ;)
Shot with plain "Jane" a.k.a. Volvo S90/960, our other ride.
Past Mods and Repair
- Shift lever solenoid modified so it can be left in Neutral so the tank can be pushed (by 3 strong men) when VIP spots are all taken
- Miniature light bulbs changed requires a 2-minute removal of center A/C vents
- 10-year-old 10-disc CD changer and custom-made Amplifier housing nicely fit in the trunk
- Windshield crack spot repair
- Lumbar support leak repair that required 2 hours of removal and reinstallation (Passenger side, LEFT in thailand)
- Window cable repair. Another greasy job.
