This beautiful rare 6. 9 liter 250hp black sedan is one of 462 models sold in the US and the 1st year this car was offered in America. Only 1816 were sold between 1977 and 1980.  It was ranked the top Luxury and Muscle car of its time.  Dubbed the Presidents car by its fully loaded standard features.  Everything appears to work and look great.  There appears to be a flaw in the paint on the trunk and a missing 3" trim piece on the rear fender.  I'm not sure if the Wheels are original but they are pretty slick non the less. (2) quotes from Car and Driver in 1977.
About the car in general:"This may be the car that Daimler-Benz has been working toward for 30 years. the culmination of all that pioneering experience with things like fuel injection. independent rear suspension. crashworthy structures. aerodynamics and -- last but not least -- racing. It is curiously appropriate that the people at Stuttgart-Untertürkheim should introduce this particular car at this particular time. The 6. 9 is like an exclamation point on the story of an entire automotive era. perhaps the last great. fast sedan to be offered the public as we enter the puritan confines of the energy crunch. "

About the engine and power:"How does it all work? Superbly. The 6. 9 feels more nimble. more agile than any other Mercedes we can remember. The new suspension. combined with the extra power of the 417-cubic inch engine makes it possible to toss the big sedan around like a bug-eye Sprite. It accelerates 0-60 in a little over seven seconds and has a top speed of nearly 140 mph. It is rock-solid and practically silent on the road. at any speed. and the engine's mid-range performance makes serious high-speed mountain driving a positive joy. "
I'm not a Mercedes person so to speak or a collector of classics.  I'm a recipient of a gift from a family member who is no longer with us.  I can however see that this is a fine machine and I'm hoping to find it a good home with someone who will appreciate the rare and special nature of the this car and its history.
