Mercedes W111 230S 1966

[Neee35]

Good sound for a car from 1966

what a fuckin nice sound! damn sexy...

Great finny! I have the same model, in black with tan interior and 4 on the floor. I got tired of the fussy Zeniths and adapted a single Holley to the intake. These are so much better than modern cars.

What new cars have grease fittings on the door hinges?

Solid wood glove box doors?

Chrome plated latches?

This is a proper car.

New cars suck.

hi

u have a five forward gearbox ,didnt 1966 models had steering shifts instead of floor shift ?

[W123W116]

@najam68 Hi, no it's a 4 speed (5 speed was not available untill 1969 in the w114 modells). Floor shift was optional on the sedan models as from 1965. (I prefer steering shift though...)

[W123W116]

@Joniel120 Maybe you are confused with W111 coupe models (which had round clocks in the dash)?

[Joniel120]

@W123W116 Oh, I get it, I thought that the W111s have this kind of dashboard before the circular speedometer like the W108 & 600

[Joniel120]

I want classic car!! Nice sounds! New cars but very quiet

Here again Lordnelson50538, if you don't like cars, WTF are you doing here ? Pissing people off ?

[unimogman404]

You still an ass ! If you don't like it, go hug a tree !

[RBSGutgefahren]

You don´t know what culture is!

[unimogman404]

To Lordnelson50538 ; If you don't like these cars, what the fuck are you doing here ? As a mercedes fan and owner, I found that it is a very nice car; a masterpiece !

[MercedesBenzGKlasse]

A really nice car

The sound is great, i don't know any new cars sounding like that!

[W123W116]

As a matter a fact... just the wipers broke down last week and I have to repain the electric engine.. what a coincidence...

But I'll see to it when I have fixed them :-)

[Xsk8r114]

My uncle used to have this car. It so fun driving it. When I was little I used to play with the wipers lol. Idk why but I wanna see the wipers go again LOL mind makin a video lol :)

[momcilosavic]

In my town, there is only one w111 Mercedes.

And it's great!!!

[DonCucho]

Very nice driving, very fast, what engine does it have?

[W123W116]

it is a 2,3 Liter, 6 cylinder engine with one overhead camschaft and 2 valves per cylinder. It has 2 double stage carburettors. Max output 120 PS. Mercedes-Benz engine number: M180 (which was also used in the model W114). I drive it on an LPG installation which takes some of the engine power. It is not a fast car compared to new cars, but it can still reach speeds of 180 km/h on the highway.

I had a 1967 230S, what a fun car to drive, and it attracted people like I was some sort of movie star. The dual carbs canbe a PITA, and the engines only go about 60-70K before needing rebuilt.

[0254133]

sounds like an i-6 :)

[W123W116]

what;s that?

it is a 6 in line engine.

[0254133]

that's what i meant =]

[W123W116]

well, I worked a lot on this car. Rust can be a serious problem but you can check that. Also check if the axles are not worn completely because they did not have fresh grease every 5000km!

For the rest it is an easy car to work on and can have a very long life.

[chico51392]

Is this car hard to work on? I saw a '67 230 s and I really wanted it but I was scared it would be too rusted and hard to work on. What's your experience with the car?
