Collector's Dream Cars Las Vegas LLC proudly presents... Another rare find 1959 Mercedes Benz 190SL with hard and soft top, it's going to get our full attention and our performance team is anxious to get this classic roadster up and running! Hard top comes with this convertible. These are arrival photos follow us and see the progress on an amazing classic come alive - more photos coming soon! The 190 SL presented an attractive, more affordable alternative to the exclusive Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, sharing its basic styling, engineering, detailing, and fully independent suspension. Both cars had double wishbones in front and swing axles at the rear. Instead of the 300 SL's expensive purpose-built W198 tubular spaceframe, the 190 SL's R121 structure used a shortened unitary floorpan modified from the W121 base saloon. The 190 SL was powered by a new, slightly oversquare 105 PS (77 kW; 104 hp) Type M121 BII 1.9 L straight-four SOHC engine. Based on the 300 SL's straight six, it had an unchanged 85 mm bore and 4.3 mm reduced 83.6 mm stroke, was fitted with twin-choke dual Solex carburetors, and produced gross 120 hp (89 kW; 122 PS). In detuned form, it was later used in the W120 180 and W121 190 models. The car was available either as a soft-top convertible (initially priced at DM 16,500/US,998) or with removable hardtop (DM 17,650/,295). A small third-passenger transverse seat was optional. During its first years the 190 SL was available as a sports-racing model with small perspex windscreen and spartan one-piece leather covered bucket seats and aluminium doors. In 1959, the hardtop's rear window was enlarged. We understand that buying on the web could leave room for uncertainty of the quality/ condition of the vehicle. We are happy to Facetime, Google Duo, or video anything you want to see specifically. For any vehicle inquiries please call us at 702-889-8482 office or call/text Mike Cimino – owner 702-889-8482

About Collector's Dream Cars Las Vegas LLC
Collector's Dream Cars Note from the Owner . . .
I am a “used car dealer” but before  that, I’m an automobile enthusiast.  I love original, rare  and high quality modified vintage and modern cars. Over the past  18 years I’ve been in business, I have come to appreciate an  expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles as well. I specialize in and I am always on the lookout for cars and  trucks that were cherished by their previous owners.
I have an experienced eye for quality  and I’ve discovered that my preferred buyers can instantly  discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business  and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type  of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict  requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal  level if there is any hope of convincing you, the buyer, that  this is an above average, exceptional vehicle.  If nothing  about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you  either and I would soon be out of business.
With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how  unusual a “dealership” like mine may be at a first glance.   It has taken great care and effort to create such an  organization and often, an unusually high investment in a  particular car we are about to list.  To sell the best it  is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner.  First we do  an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and  hope nothing escapes our methodical investigation.   Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly  “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling  price, but a happy customer that says good things about
Collectors Dream Cars Las Vegas LLC.
Moreover; it allows us to describe the car  with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible  unless we think it is true.  If major issues are found or  the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too  expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one.  I simply  absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at  auction so you don’t get a headache over the vehicle.
After the vehicle is fully checked over and made whole at any  level it needs to be, we researches its history, documents  documenting originality and authenticity.  Historical  significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications  and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with  integrity and honesty.  Most important for the potential  buyer are the 100 to 200 high resolution pictures that I take  myself.  The pricey equipment I use would be right at home  in the hands of the very best professional photographers and  I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire  vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch.  I  provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then  put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the  beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep.   Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they  meticulously clean.  Reconditioning can sometimes take  several as we do all that we can within reason to get our  vehicles in tip top condition visually and cosmetically. Way  more than just a cheap detail….Our details are more like  refurbishing to as close to new as we can possibly get our  vehicles.
Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows  the car doing its thing.  If it’s a fast car, we film it  going fast.  If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a  hill.  In every case you will hear things like a rumbling  exhaust, working sound system and watch gauges operational as  well.
No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this  level.  No other seller or organization provides you, the  buyer, with so much information.  I do this because it is  the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable  to touch or feel their purchase that my vehicle is for real and  what I say is an honest assessment.  All the above is  necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity  intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing  feedback on eBay.  To accomplish that I need satisfied  customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when  I bought it.
If you have any questions at all,
please call me Mike Cimino, owner on my cell at:  702-544-0235
.  If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business  partner you’ve ever dealt with.  If you call or e-mail  asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be  looking for ways to politely end the conversation.  Until  you are ready to actually make an offer, I will happily quote  you a liberal suggested retail price – a number we both know  will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine.  I  am after all, a “used car dealer.”

Third party,  pre-purchase vehicle inspections are welcome BEFORE the auction  ends.  We are happy to answer questions about this vehicle  and resolve any concerns you may have BEFORE YOU BID and BEFORE  THE AUCTION ENDS . . .

Important: Winning bidders for automobile transactions are not obligated to  purchase nor is the seller obligated to sell to any winning bidder according to eBay's policies, see (  pages.ebay.com/help/policies/non-binding-bid.html ).   Bidders that win an auction and then do not pay, spoil the integrity of the eBay experience and cause sellers to incur additional costs and losses due to the non-paying bidders negligence and disregard for honest dealings.

We want to have a very  positive experience on eBay, just like you do. Don't use eBay asyour playground to bid without responsibility or commitment.  eBay's auction system promotes irresponsible bidders because  there is no accountability whatsoever as there is for sellers.  Most bidders never have any real intention to complete any  transaction but we do as responsible sellers, so don't play  irresponsibly online, we don't.
We will happily do  whatever is required to assist a legitimate bidder that intends  to purchase the vehicle with their transaction.
