1982 Mercedes-Benz - 500SEC

Fahrzeugbeschreibung

1982 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC, finished in Manganese Brown Metallic with a beige leather interior. This 500SEC is a European-spec model sold new near Kiel, Germany, and imported to the United States in 2000. European-spec SECs wore market-specific headlights and smaller bumpers than their American-spec counterparts, and this 500 retains these parts. It also kept the metric temperature gauge, and its climate control panel is labeled in German.The attached AutoCheck history report starts in 2000, and it lists no accidents.Service records included in the gallery confirm the fuel injectors, the fuel pump relay, the spark plugs, several ignition-related components, and numerous parts in the air conditioning system (including the compressor) were replaced in 2017. Known as the C126 internally, the SEC was launched for the 1983 model year as the W126's coupe counterpart. While buyers in America were initially asked to settle for the 155-horsepower 380 model, Europeans could order the 500 variant that offered a more powerful engine, and the power disparity helped fuel a lucrative gray market. 500 sedans and coupes finally arrived in America for 1984, and both body styles gained an even bigger V8 for 1986. SEC sales ended after the 1991 model year.Power for this 500 SEC comes from a 5.0-liter V8, which produces 228 horsepower and 299 lb-ft of torque. It spins the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission.
