The car is finished in Cabernet Red Metallic (587) with matching lower cladding and bumpers. Features include headlight wipers, an electric sunroof, a power antenna, twin exhaust outlets, and a soft-close trunk lid and doors. The hood, roof, trunk lid, A-pillars, and sideview mirror housings were repainted in March 2022, and paintwork blending was performed on the front fenders, rear quarter panels, and right front door. A ceramic coating was applied to the exterior following a paint correction in May 2022.
The 6.0-liter M120 V12 was factory rated at 402 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque when new. A replacement upper wiring harness sourced from a 1991 car has been installed and work carried out since February 2022 includes rebuilds of the lower wiring harness and heater control valve, refurbishment of several engine control modules, cleaning of the throttle body, changes of the coolant and engine oil, and replacement of the following components:

Hello Everyone. As the final hours approach, I'll be online to answer any last minute questions. To any buyers currently sitting on the fence, it's important to remember that it's always easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission ;) To everyone else, happy bidding, and don't let this 600 get away.

Lovely example. Too bad this color wasn’t more popular!
@buhzilly thanks, and good choice. The I6's are great engines but for me, nothing beats the glory, and firepower of a Mercedes v12.
Absolute dream car. I have a 47k mile 1997 S320. I can’t imagine 6 more cylinders! Perfect color… I love the W140. GLWTA
@tpenziner thanks for the opening bid.
@FXRcR1 Hello again, and thanks for the GLWTA. It's an incredibly special car both to me and the w140 community. Let's hope it gets the appreciation it deserves.

This beauty deserves way better than the last go-around. GLWA, such a special car
Hello Everyone, hope you all are doing well. My name is OddballCarGuy, but I also go by Andrew in the "real world". Over the course of the next 11 or so days, I'll be selling my glorious 600sel with the legendary m120 v12. While my opinion is ever so slightly bias, I whole harenly beleive that the 600sel is the single greatest luxury car ever built. Even today, it still stands the test of time in regards to ride comfort, quality and refinement. To any prospective buyers, you'd be pleased to know that I'm a sucker for preventative maintenance, and everything you can think of has been done, and yes, that includes the original bose sound system. Phantom of the Opera has never sounded better ;) This 600sel will give you plenty of years of trouble free enjoyment. If you have any questions or just want to talk w140, feel free to reach out. I adore these cars, and everyone at some point should own one to experience what a properly built, and throughout car feels like. Best of luck, and don't let this one go
