Laurel, Mississippi, United States
|
The GOOD - Tobacco Brown exterior with uncommon beige texture interior. - More economical 6-cylinder 180HP engine that runs great with no noises or leaks. - Starts right up the first time every time. - Very clean and straight body repainted by first owner in 2006 and still looks great. - All original interior right down to the carpets! Has cocoa floor mats over the carpets front and rear. - Cooper Trendsetter radial whitewall tires with 80% to 85% tread remaining. - Original Becker radio and Owner's Manuals. - 5-digit odometer shows only 09,xxx miles but I'm sure it's gone around at least once. Please note that this is a 43-year old car. - Original trim, badges, emblems, and chrome - and the chrome looks great! - 4 original wheel covers, repainted in 2006 when the body was done. - Floor pans both inside and underneath are very clean. - Headlights, tail lights, turn signals, brake lights, dash board lights, vanity and dome lights, ignition key buzzer all work fine. - 4 power windows, all dash gauges, windshield wipers, horn, all door locks and trunk lock, all work fine with the exception of the clock. - The main dash board wood is in great condition but the strip at the base of the windshield has oxidized and needs to be refinished. - Very decent headliner with no rips or tears, just slightly age-toned and/or yellowed. - Newer brakes by the 2nd owner work fine. - Newer battery. - Tire tools and a good spare in the trunk. The BAD - Factory Air Conditioning works but only blows luke-cool to luke-warm but at least it blows - might only need a freon charge but I honestly don't know. - Becker Radio works but the station tuning knob doesn't work so all you get is static unless you drive into an area with a station where the radio is currently tuned into. The UGLY - There are some rust bubbles starting to form under the paint. - There is rust behind the left front wheel and on the rear driver's-side door above the sill trim. - Has a single, small, crack in the dash pad which is an easy fix. - The door window wood trim on the driver's door has started to delaminate near the vent window - all other door window wood trim is fine. - There is a hairline crack on the driver's side stop light lens. - The door panel on the driver's door has a worn spot where the driver's elbow would rest while cruising. - Some normal, minor flaws, blemishes, and dings in body and/or chrome when you're a foot away, most of which are virtually invisible from 10 feet away. RECENT REPAIRS: - Resurfaced cylinder head and new gasket - New engine mounts - New fuel filter and hoses - New radiator hose - New V-belts - New spark plugs, distributor cap, ignition rotor, points, spark plug wire set - All fluids replaced On Oct-31-13 at 15:21:51 PDT, seller added the following information: |

Mercedes-AMG teases GT interior, announces fall 2014 debut
Tue, 15 Apr 2014Mercedes-Benz opted to tease the assembled media at its post-New York Auto Show party, showing off a pair of images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor of the SLS AMG - the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
Slated for a debut in the fall at either Paris or Los Angeles (we're betting Paris), you'll note straight away that there's something wrong with this car's name. Where's the "Benz?" Well, it's been ditched to, as Mercedes says, "make the dream of the authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car come true." Sorry Karl.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.
Mercedes releases 6x6 G63 AMG specs and pics [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has finally dropped full details on its insane G63 AMG 6x6. The machine puts 544 horsepower to all six wheels thanks to a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8. A seven-speed gearbox shuttles power to the ground via three sets of portal axles, which helps give this machine a full 15.75 inches of ground clearance. By comparison, the standard G63 AMG sits with just 8.27 inches of ground clearance. The extra lift allows this 6x6 to ford nearly 40 inches of water and run massive 37-inch tires. All told, there are five differential locks on this thing, all controlled by a special "locking logic" that provides the best traction possible for any given situation.
The controls offer up three stages of locking, which we can only assume range from JKLOL to OMGWTF. Right now, AMG says this monstrosity is only a show vehicle, but we imagine it wouldn't take much to convince the team to whip up one of your very own. Check out our full gallery and the press release below for all the nitty gritty. While you're down there, you can also check out the video on the machine one more time.
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Sport
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Mercedes Makes A Mighty Little Sedan
We got overexcited when the W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan came out in 2001, calling it the "Baby Benz" when it really wasn't. We knew that, too, but our enthusiasm for a model more like the old 190 of the '80s was so strong that we were willing to stretch the first-gen C-Class to fit that mold. Today, the C-Class has done what all German premium cars do: grown in size. In this case, grown to satisfy the market intentions of the previous E-Class.
There was the tall A-Class sold from 1998 through 2010, but we never considered that a serious small Benz in the proper spirit, nor was it ever offered in the US. Regardless, we've been craving a smaller, premium, sexy sedan all the while.
