No Reserve: 1964 Mercedes-Benz 220b “Fintail” Project – Euro-Spec, Manual, Arizona Title
This 1964 Mercedes-Benz 220b is a European-market Fintail that spent time in Germany and France before being imported to the United States in the 1970s, where it saw use in New York and California. Finished in Gray Beige over blue upholstery, it’s powered by a 2.2-liter M180 inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
