1964 Mercedes-benz 220 B Sedan W111, W 111, Heckflosse, Fintail on 2040-cars
Arkansas City, Kansas, United States
|
I purchased this 1964 Mercedes-Benz 220 b while in college 10 years ago from a small car dealer in McPherson, Kansas. I did some work to the engine including line boring of the engine, grinding of the crankshaft and replacement of the bearings, decking of the block and head, grinding of the valves and seats, replacement of the valve seals, rebuilding of the carbs, replacement of the starter, rebuilding of the distributor, rebuilding of the steering pump, replacement of the generator with an alternator (from a 230 S), new sub-frame mounts, motor and transmission mounts, new shocks, wheel bearings, brake hoses, brake linings in the front, rebuilt wheel cylinders, drums turned and the exhaust system replaced. I also replaced all five wheels with another set including the tires several years ago and the tires are in pretty good shape but they are at least six or seven years old. The original set of wheels come with the car as well. As you can see from the photos the trunk has all of the extra parts and interior parts that I removed. When I bought the car it came with the original owners manual, service booklet, dealer directory and transmission user guide. From this information I tracked the ownership back to the original owner and dealer. The car was originally sold to a Ms. Wilson at the Studebaker Packard dealer in Oregon City, Oregon. She later moved to Missouri and the car was brought to McPherson, Kansas in 2000 after her death. I have the original build sheet, which I will include in the sale of the car along with a translation of all of the codes. The car was originally delivered and is currently DB 335 Mercedes blue with the grey MB text vinyl. It is completely numbers matching (engine, transmission, rear axle, front axle left and right and steering box). Please keep in mind that the car is not running at this time but could easily be made to run with fresh fuel and a new battery. I turned the engine over today but the battery is weak. If you plan on buying this car please have a truck and trailer available as well as some help to get it loaded. If you are local and would like to inspect the car over the next seven days please contact me. |

Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer
Mon, 28 Jan 2013Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.
Dartz promises own 6x6 G-Class with golden shishas and a dining room
Mon, 25 Mar 2013So you didn't really think Dartz Motorz was going to let the limited-production, 544-horsepower Mercedes 6x6 G63 AMG go without a challenge, did you? Picking up the gauntlet as only Dartz can, the Russian dream-makers have come up with the Sahara G-eopard, supposedly a special request from a buyer to make one of the 'standard' six-wheelers "more opulent and insane."
That means the vehicle from the factory gets extended by about a foot (30 centimeters), coach doors in the rear, a "yacht floor" and air conditioning that runs on its own power source, Asanti 24-inch Gold Bullion wheels and a water dispenser with Russian diamonds, which the owner will need to fill the golden shishas (hookahs) in the portable smoking room. That's right, you heard the man: a portable smoking room. Where the occupants will retire when they're finished in the portable dining room. Of course.
Yes, it will even have leopard spotting painted onto its nano-coating, and so much more. You can check out the press release below from the source. Try not to be jealous.
