Beautiful Restored 1958 Mercedes Model 219.

In 2000 I completely stripped the car including the door jambs to bare white metal then primed it with 2 coats of DP 90 catalyzed epoxy primer then applied 3 coats of high build primer followed by 4 coats of base coat and finished up with 3 coats of clear coat. That's 12 coats of paint.

The chrome was redone by Art Brass in Seattle and cost almost $3000 for the bumpers door handles drivers and door mirror.

Their process is copper plating and polish repeatedly until smooth then the nickel plate then Chrome.

Art Brass in Seattle is well known for their excellence in restoring chrome for collector cars.

When I purchased the New OEM steering box from Mercedes I was told that I got the last one from the 5 Mercedes depots in the US.

The front suspension has all new Mercedes king pins, upper and lower pins.

The steering is perfect and has zero side play.

Red Leather upholstery.

Engine was rebuilt by Auto sport in Seattle, they are well known in the Seattle are for their ability to restore engines on antique cars..

Pistons were balanced on a gram scale.

It has .02 over pistons and .01 under rods and mains.

Upgraded oil pump used in the 220 engines.

Engine has sodium filled exhaust valves and hardened valve seats, so it runs just fine on unleaded gas.

Also has a Borla stainless steel exhaust system that extends from the engine all the way to the tailpipe.

This stainless steel exhaust will last a lifetime.

I have all of the original receipts.

Runs and drives just fine.

All original factory parts.

New OEM window and door gaskets, that's a thousand $ just for the gaskets.

Original spear light pads and lenses.

I also got the last available grill emblem, it's perfect as you can see in the photos.

Note the pictures of the undercarriage show the brand new Mercedes fender fasteners and gaskets.

Also note the condition of the headlight housing inside of both front fenders.

Even though there is a modern CD player in the dash, I have the original radio and it's related parts carefully stored so it would be easy to restore the dash to original.

There were only 27730 of these cars built over a period of 4 years.

After 50+ years I'm sure that few remain in excellent condition.

I have kept this car in my garage for the last 35 years, so if you're looking for a real nice quality car with no rust this is it.

Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.

Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."
