1960 MERCEDEZ BENZ 190 SL FIRST CLASSIC CAR EVER SOLD ON EBAY AS ANNOUNCED ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA! Entirely rust free and very original 1960 Mercedes Benz 190SL matching numbers, with its rebuilt Webber carburetors, ivory finish over a saddle leather interior. Mechanically sorted and with freshly rebuilt carburetors, rebuilt engine, transmission, fuel tank, new brakes and brake lines. It is believed to be all original except for the addition of a Fireball Electronic Ignition and retrofitted Audi starter. Its original numbers-matching engine starts right up without any smoke and idles consistently, maintaining excellent, even compression across all cylinders and pulling strongly under acceleration, thanks in part to its accurately tuned rebuilt Webber carburetors and a decade of detailed care and gentle use. The car’s original gearbox is smooth and correct, with effortless up and down shifts across all gears, and the car’s brakes and suspension all function as they should. The car’s body is straight with even and correct panel fits and gaps throughout. The windscreen and windscreen rubber is all original. Bumpers and major chrome parts have been re-chromed. The car’s undercarriage is entirely solid and correct, without rust and the car sits on its original color matched, hub-capped steel wheels.
The car’s interior is equally as clean, the saddle leather seats and interior panels showing only the most negligible of wear, the new complimentary tan carpets and the leather wrapped dash free of any significant wear or sun damage. However, the cars fuel gauge is aftermarket. The car retains its ivory steering wheel, as well as its clock and fully operating Becker Europa radio.
The car has been meticulously cared for and well preserved. The car was used solely as a garaged and well-taken-care-of weekend driver and event participant. Accordingly, the car remains in exceptional original condition, marred only by the most insignificant of imperfections, none of which
This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an appreciating classic rust-free, cosmetically gorgeous and mechanically sound. Show quality examples have been selling routinely above $230,000, and as high as $269,500 at auction, prompting incredible market demand.
I am offering this car through Piano Outlet as a favor to a dear friend, this car played a part in our pianos being offered on Ebay. Sometime in 1999 I received a call from a friend of mine (Michael) who I met when he came in to buy a piano from me. He told me he bought a car off a web site called Ebay. At the time I was very involved with the classic car hobby and had been attending shows with different cars I would buy and and work on through the years. After spending some time at the some of the local cars shows he decided to get involved and made this spur of the moment purchase one night after a brief conversation with the previous owner. Shortly afterwards upon watching "Good Morning America" they mentioned his name in a story about the up and coming internet website "Ebay". Apparently his new toy was the first of it's kind to be sold online through Ebay. When the car arrived and was in the condition as advertised he was very happy and it was then I thought it would be a great experiment to see how my pianos would sell online through Ebay. The rest is history! I have since had thousands of pianos through my showroom being shipped all over the world. Russell Housen Piano Outlet |

Mercedes dealers authorized to spend $2,500 on perks for S-Class customers
Mon, 02 Dec 2013If you drop $100,000 on a luxury sedan, it seems only reasonable to receive some preferential treatment at the dealership you purchased from. After all, that price isn't just for the car - you're paying for the brand and all the cachet that entails. For Mercedes-Benz, those benefits have apparently been lacking relative to the German brand's luxury competitors.
That's set to change, though, as Automotive News reports that the German brand is placing a much greater emphasis on keeping its customers happy and loyal with its MB Select program. Starting with the new S-Class and spreading to the CLA-Class (and eventually beyond), dealers are being given money - up to $2,500 in the case of the flagship sedan - just to improve the customer experience.
We agree, improving the "customer experience" is quite a vague term, so it's nice that Mercedes USA's CEO, Steve Cannon, offered up some examples to AN at the LA Auto Show. For example, a customer couldn't fit his sunglasses into the overhead compartment. "So we bought him a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses that fit because of their shape," Cannon said.
Mercedes to roll out C63 AMG late in 2014 with 4.0L V8
Mon, 30 Dec 2013The new 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is upon us, launching initially in North America with turbocharged four-cylinder C300 4Matic and six-cylinder C400 4Matic flavors. But that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the vast array of powertrain configurations that will be offered in the new C-Class in markets around the world. Orders will soon be rolling in for gasoline, hybrid and diesel engines with four, six or eight cylinders, driving the rear wheels or all four, with the seven-speed automatic transmission soon to be replaced by a new nine-speed unit. But what enthusiasts are really looking forward to is the next C63 AMG.
As BMW has done with the M3 (and new M4), Mercedes has gradually ratcheted up the cylinder count in its AMG C-Class, graduating from the 3.6-liter V6 in the original C36 AMG to the 4.3-liter V8 in the C43 AMG, then the 5.5-liter V8 in the C55 AMG before going the distance with the sublime 6.2-liter V8 in the C63 AMG. Like its rivals, Mercedes is expected to use turbochargers as a replacement for displacement in the next model, but unlike its Bavarian rival, it won't be losing any cylinders in the process.
Skipping the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that has gone on to power other AMG models, the next C63 AMG is still expected to introduce a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing between 450 and 500 horsepower. It'll also reportedly keep the same seven-speed automatic transmission (instead of switching to the new nine-speed), but the jury's still out on whether it'll come with rear- or all-wheel drive (or offer buyers the choice). The downsized V8 - codenamed M177 - is then expected to find its way into other models, but the C-Class will be the first to get it when it arrives before the end of the new year ahead.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
