Offered for sale is an absolutely gorgeous 1970 Mercedes 280SE 3.5 Coupe with all of the desirable options: floor-shift transmission, air conditioning and power windows. Finished in Anthracite Grey Metallic with Black roof and hubcaps (Factory Original Color Scheme), Black leather interior. Delivered new in France. This example has been lovingly maintained and cared for. High quality bare metal repaint using Glasurit paint. Most brightwork re-chromed and consequently the car is truly as nice as it appears in the photographs. Carpets are wool with lambs wool mats.

The paint is excellent, a rich and lustrous finish that shows only the most insignificant of imperfections. All of the car’s chrome is fantastic, all body rubber replaced with MB parts. Panel fits and gaps are excellent. Always garaged and cared for, the car’s undercarriage and body are nearly rust-free.

Seat covers and cushions have been replaced. Hat and headliner are new. This vehicle was stored for over 20 years. I believe the mileage to be less than what is shown on the title. The original speedometer is in kilometers. That is what is shown on the title. Actual miles would be about 60K.

Vehicle has been serviced and maintained mechanically. Radiator, hoses, brakes ect have been replaced. Heater box was completed overhauled with new valves, levers, and heater coils. All windows mechanisms have been restored. Runs and drives as it should.

Original radio is inoperative. A/C is inoperative but all of the factory parts are present. New A/C lines are included with the sale. Various interior trim have not been installed.

Feel free to contact me directly for additional details. I will assist with shipping paid for by the buyer. Inspections are welcome and encouraged. No disapointments here. This is one of the finest 111 coupes that I have seen.

Vehicle is for sale locally so this auction could end at anytime.

Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars

Tue, 20 Nov 2012

Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.

Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
