Hello,
Up for sale is a 1968 Mercedes Benz 220 4 Cylinder Gas with a 4 + 1 Speed Manual Transmission. I'm the second owner and I bought the car in 1991 from my parents' best friends who bought the car originally from Germany in 1968 brand new. At the time I bought the car from them the car had about 51,000 kilometers. After a couple of years I moved to the United States where I currently live. The car is in Eastern Europe. The car is in really nice condition. It does not have any rust nor rips. Everything is original on the car and the car has always been garaged. No driving in rain or snow. The car has only 54,437 kilometers, or about 33,825 miles. These are the original mileage with a working speedometer and odometer. This can be proved by the hoses in the coolant system, all being original straight from the factory. The hoses have never been replaced. This is a very good way to show that the odometer is accurate and original. All the accessories I have added to the car, such as the cd player, underbody lights kit, "Super Sport" sticker, horns, Italian Fiamm, air compressor, musical horns, and a lot of other accessories can all be taken off the car without causing any damage to the car. I have the original radio in good working condition. Everything is in good working status. Windows go up and down, locks, seats, etc. everything works. Paint is in original, overall excellent condition. All the chrome is excellent. Every time I go back home I change all the fluids and start the car. The car does need a battery and new tires because the tires are old. No leaks on the car. Brakes are original from the factory, never been replaced because of the car's low mileage. Transmission shifts very smoothly and the ride is a true Mercedes Benz. You can even smell that "new car smell". On the right rear door there is a very light scratch and on the left front fender there are some spots where the paint got colored from the battery acid when the battery was changed. The radio was replaced with a Sanyo radio cassette 4 way stereo speaker. I also added a portable Phillips cd player with a Phillips special auto mount holder as you can see in the pictures. Both of these units are brand new. I didn't really have a chance to drive the car and listen to the music a whole lot. I made the Mercedes Benz emblem on the hood able to be removed so that it wouldn't get stolen, and I do have that.
By Bidding on this item you agree to the following Terms & Conditions:
The car is currently located in Eastern Europe. Buyer is responsible for shipping the vehicle to his home. The car is for sale worldwide.
No returns. If you have any questions please message me via eBay.

Firing of M-B boss upheld
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
