Vehicle Details

This is a great example of a Farland Classic Car, something that over the past 60 years has become a member of the family. This 1971 classic Mercedes-Benz has lived a long, luxurious life with the original owners’ family up in Aspen, Colorado.

Initially, this car came to us for mechanical work, as the owner noticed a bit of “metal sounds” during the last startup. Once we got our eyes on the car we also noted a few issues in the paintwork and a few areas of rust near the trunk seal. This conversation with the family helped them to decide to get a bit deeper into the restoration realm. We undertook a complete paint job. This started with media blasting, then a good amount of bodywork.

Now we have primer and coats of paint applied. After that, was hours and hours of sanding and polishing. Assembly started, and we have the refreshed interior installed. A new top as well. We’ll continue to keep you up to date on this four-seater Cabrio classic!

If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself. Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car, and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see ‘where the magic happens.’ If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
