Luis Pacheco's Anthracite 6.3 just might be the most original example in the US with but 21k miles showing.
Extraordinary 21k mile 6.3 Survivor
If you’re a Mercedes 108/109 series enthusiast, you’ve probably mused over the experience of somehow driving a new 300SEL 6.3. Most of the cars offered today offer handling and refinement characteristics generally removed from what the cars felt like when new, even nicely restored cars. What did a new 6.3 feel and look like?
The Mercedes Museum probably has a superb example but here is a car you can buy today, Luis Pacheco’s mind boggling 1970 6.3. It is literally “in the wrapper” and retains its original fitted luggage. Amazing! Everything seems to be in order: decals, luggage, handbooks, tool roll, perfect original wood and leather.
Restored? Nope, just mint original with every decal/label in place as original.
 We've never seen luggage for a 108/109 sedan. This set is as new and never used!
Here are some details about this spectacular 6.3
- 172G Anthracite
- Original mint condition Parchment leather
- 21,000 documented miles
- Sunroof
- Perfect tool kit
- Unused original spare
- Service history from virtually new
- All owner’s manuals
- Mint Macasser Ebony wood
- Not Cheap!

In 1977, at the young age of 19, this was the first Mercedes I ever drove. I worked at a Fiat and Ferrari dealership in Monterey, California; in the year or so that I worked there, I drove just about every exotic car-brand available at the time. Up until driving the 300 SEL 6.3, I always thought Mercedes-Benz’s were cars your grandpa drove – what a surprise when I stepped on the throttle! Today, at the age of 53, I’ll tell you the same thing I I would have told you at the age of 19 when asked: So out of all the cars you’ve ever driven, what one would you own/recommend? And my answer is, “Buy the biggest Mercedes you can afford”.
