1970 Mercedes 280SL manual transmission, red with black interior with only 101k miles. Unlike most of the other 5 digit odometer vehicles, this car has tons of receipts to back it up. Originally Portland Oregon vehicle with only 1 owner till 2012. Vehicle purchased by a collector and shipped to Alabama and stored in climate controlled garaged and never driven. Early this year 2nd owner and my mutual friend mentioned me about the vehicle and immediately I went to see the car and fell in love with it and purchased on the spot. What made me excited was the originality of the car. Still original interior, seats carpets, wood panels, steering wheel, dash (which has cracked in one spot, see the picture) etc. What is not original is the shifter knob, and the radio. Paint is very shiny with few imperfections such as right front fender above the wheel paint scraped (touched up) and small paint crack (about 1 inch), trunk has crescent shape clear coat peel (looks like brake fluid or power steering bottle left on it, about 4-5 inches) and couple of minor dings, some minor paint chips (touched up) on hood, but overall looks very good. Due to the age some panels may have been repainted. It is not a show car or a garage Queen but excellent weekend or daily driver. I have receipts dating back to 1977 and maintained by the same shop. At 99,612 miles engine received major maintenance including all the belts, gaskets, water pump, thermostats and more total of $6,965. This is just one of the last receipt, since then car only driven couple of thousand miles. Original exhaust system is little tired and has some leaks here and there, I bought center and rear muffler but I didn't install them yet. Buyer will receive them at no cost. Tires and rims are in excellent shape. It starts and drives almost every time, never disappointed me. Trunk under the mat has very little surface rust (nothing major) no cutting and welding needed, only light sand and some paint will take care of it. This vehicle is definitely worth restoring to a show quality. It drives straiter than most of the newer cars out there. I never wanted to sell my car but change of job and location forces me to sell it. Most importantly my new house does not have climate controlled garage. This is the first time I am advertising this car, If you look at my feedback you'll see that I am a serious seller. Probably I forgot to mention many stuff but if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I do not have the hardtop, original owner mis-located it. Soft top is in very good condition with minor wear also rear plastic glass is very clear as well. Seats are original with no rips on them, door panels has some wear ( minor cracks), wood panel on the dash shows it's age. Chromes are in very good condition. Everything on the car works including the clock. It drives and stops perfect. You are buying a 43 years old car so there is no warranty or guarantee, if you'd like to see the car before bidding please let me know I have flexible hours. Thanks

First official shot of Mercedes S-Class Coupe leaks out

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

With the official debut for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe expected tomorrow, it shouldn't be a surprise that some clicky fingers have already managed to uncover an official image of the car before the unveiling. Outside of this sole image, though, there's precious little detail on the new car.
First posted by Autofilou and then picked up by WorldCarFans, the production S-Class Coupe isn't far off from the concept car we saw a few months back in Frankfurt. Like the concept, the leggy production model appears related, albeit distantly, to the S-Class Sedan. The hood and front fascia are longer and lower, befitting of a two-door, while the character lines in the profile are more pronounced. Obviously, the beltline and slim, B-pillarless greenhouse are coupe-only items. We can't see any details on the back of the car, although it does appear that the long hood has a correspondingly short rear deck.
We'll have all the details on the official replacement for the CL-Class when it makes its full debut tomorrow. Until then, what do you think of this lone image? Does it appear that Mercedes has got it right? In terms of design, where would you rank this with the departing CL-Class? Have your say in Comments.

Mercedes CLA45 AMG Racing is ready for a spot on the grid

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Mercedes-Benz trotted out its CLA45 AMG-based racer at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. We first showed you the sedan in the deluge of news and reveals that precedes most good auto shows, and were blown away by the car, formally known as the CLA45 AMG Racing Series.
We were strolling by the Mercedes stand, and figured we'd pop in and take a look at the new racer and its carbon-fiber body panels, gutted interior, and race-sourced aero parts. It's a looker, both as a road car and a track weapon. It's not clear what series the CLA45 AMG will qualify for, although it does seem like a shoe-in for the World Touring Car Championship. Let us know what you think of the CLA racer down in the comments. In the meantime, we've got a full gallery of live images up top, along with the stock images that were posted last week on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale

Fri, 10 May 2013

There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.
