Available is my 1970 220d Mercedes. This car has a rare 4spd/Diesel combination, which makes it an absolute joy to drive while maintaining excellent MPG. I don't want to write a book on the car, as I believe this Mercedes speaks for its self. Here's a few main points on the car.
-One owner car up to approx. 1 year ago. Purchased at the estate of original owner after passing away. Car comes with plenty of documentation, including original sale invoice for the car "see photo". And yes it still wears its original "antique" plates from 1970.
-Very nicw original paint, and offered in the best colors available.
-As you can see from the photos the interior is excellent. The seats had been fitted with "sheep skin covers" its entire life. This left the seats in virtually new condition. Carpets look as new.
-Large amount of recent work, to include:
-New injectors
-Glow plugs
-Full brake service
-New Tires
-Tie Rods/All four shocks
-Battery
-All new fluids/filter.
-Of course all that "dry" weather stripping has been replaced. Please don't make the mistake of buying a vintage car that has not been refreshed with new rubber. It is a time consuming & expensive process.
-This classic has obviously been well maintained "attribute that to low miles & one owner" . It is turn key, unlike most classics this can be enjoyed right away with no worries. A great cruiser, while still maintaining 34 MPG.
-All original right down to the original Radio. Very unmolested Mercedes.
In summary this 220D has been lovingly cared for, and has a certain level of class unrivaled by other classics of the era. A great chance to own one of the last "hand built" and arguably one of the last truly classic looking body styles. I viewed many 220D's before buying this one. As you know these cars are particularly reliable, which lead many to be driven extensively with minimal care. This unfortunately has left the majority of 220D's with very high miles, and general haggard conditions. This example has escaped that fate.

Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring
Thu, 17 Oct 2013If 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."
Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept crossover leaked ahead of Shanghai debut
Wed, 17 Apr 2013With just a few days left before the start of the Shanghai Motor Show, images of the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept compact crossover have emerged online. The little 'ute is based on the small A-Class hatchback, and though it shares an identical wheelbase, is larger in every other dimension.
Looking like a rough-and-tumble five-door hatchback on the tippy toes of its 20-inch wheels, the GLA is most certainly destined for production in a toned down form that will borrow many bits and pieces from other cars based on this platform like the aforementioned A-Class and the CLA-Class sedan. Carscoop reports that the production version of the GLA will be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September of this year, with sales to the public starting in 2014.
Since it's based on the A-Class, we expect that the production GLA-Class will be powered by your choice of Mercedes' 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine and a diesel or two, and will offer transmissions that include the company's seven-speed DCT and perhaps a six-speed manual (at least in Europe). If the GLA follows the same path as the two cars before it, expect a GLA45 AMG producing over 300 horsepower, as well. As for what powers the GLA Concept, that just might remain a mystery until the vehicle is officially revealed in China.
