Colour
Black

A Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman four-door limousine built on the long 153.5-inch wheelbase, one of only 304 examples of this body style produced during the model's 1963–1981 production run. Powered by a 6.3-litre overhead-cam V-8 with Bosch mechanical fuel injection and supported by the model's characteristic air suspension and high-pressure hydraulic systems, this example spent the majority of its life in Seattle. It has been repainted in its original black and retains a largely original beige leather interior with period-added entertainment equipment.

Maintenance & restoration

  1. Bodywork

    The exterior was refinished in the factory-correct black colour; the scope of any accompanying work is not described.

    All other aspects of the car are described as highly original, suggesting the repaint was a targeted cosmetic intervention rather than a broader restoration.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
