About this car
1961 190SL at Beverly Hills Car Club in Los Angeles, CA. Fire Engine Red, 1.9L M121 inline-four, 4-speed manual, currently not running, straightforward restoration project, honest age throughout. Harvested from the dealer's own website on Nov 2, 2026 — confirm availability at the source before travelling.
What the photos show
- Red paint is peeling off in large patches with heavy rust across the hood, wings, doors and rear, full body and paint restoration money needed.
- Chrome bumpers are present but rusty and pitted, budget to repair and re-chrome.
- Seats are destroyed, padding and stuffing hanging out, full retrim from the frames up needed.
- Floors inside are rusted and holed in the photos, expect floor metal work, not just carpets.
- Dash frame and gauges are present but everything around them is rotten, saves some parts hunting only.
- Soft top is just a bare frame with no canvas, a complete new top is needed.
- Trunk floor is heavily rusted, expect trunk metal work in the budget.
- Engine bay is heavily rusted all over, air cleaner, manifolds and inner wings included, expect a full engine-bay rebuild.
- Loose rusty parts are shown with the car, including a jack, which at least saves hunting those bits.
- Underside is not shown in the sampled photos, so I can't judge it from below, though the floors from above already look bad.
Money: At $24,750 you are buying a 190SL identity and parts, not a car to fix cheaply — the restoration will cost several times the asking price.
