THIS LITTLE CAR SPENT ITS ENTIRE LIFE IN PALM SPRINGS UNTIL IT WAS TRADED IN FOR A NEW CAR BY THE ORIGINAL OWNERS TO THE MAN I BOUGHT IT FROM.
CHANGE OF PLAN HAS ME SELLING THIS CAR...(AMONG OTHER HOBBY INTERESTS/COLLECTIONS), TO ASSIST MY SON WITH A MOVE TO NORTH CAROLINA OTHERWISE I'D BE KEEPING IT AND I DO MEAN THAT! BUT I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO HELP MY SON MOVE FOR BETTER OPPORTUNITIES THAN ARE HERE.
CAR RUNS GREAT. STRAIGHT & TRUE DOWN THE ROAD, TRANS SHIFTS AS IT SHOULD, TIRES ARE NEW ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO AND THE FRONT END HAS JUST HAD A $2800 REBUILD. THE CAR RIDES VERY COMFORTABLY.
THE MOONROOF NEEDS THE TWO RUBBER SEALS,($90) & THE CHROME WITH RUBBER - SEAL BETWEEN FRONT AND REAR SIDE WINDOWS ON PASSENGER SIDE.

THERE'S NOTHING TO HIDE ON THIS CAR. THIS IS JUST A VERY NICE DRIVER- QUALITY 40 YEAR OLD CAR. IT DOES HAVE THE FEW MINOR ISSUES I HAVE MENTIONED BUT THIS IS A STRAIGHT, ONE OWNER, WELL CARED FOR 280 COUPE WITH SERVICE RECORDS AND ALL THE BOOKS....EVEN THE ORIGINAL SET OF TOOLS AND ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE PLUS...PROTECT-O-PLATE.
THE ONLY REAL NEGATIVE I HAVE FOUND WITH THIS CAR IS THAT THE FIRST HAD SWAPPED THE FACTORY BECKER RADIO FOR A LATER MODEL KENWOOD STEREO. I DID NOT RECIEVE THE BECKER AT PURCHASE. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS. I WOULD DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE BUT ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN TO ANY CAR ON A TRIP, EVEN NEW CARS. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I WOULD SUGGEST HAVING THE CAR TRANSPORTED BUT IT IS YOUR OPTION TO COME GET THE CAR ALSO.

NOTE: SORRY ABOUT THE SCREW UP WITH STATEMENT IN THE TITLE OF "NO RESERVE" AND THEN FORGETTING TO REMOVE THE ACTUAL RESERVE AS I WAS MAKING THE CHANGE FROM IT HAVING A RESERVE.
A BID WAS MADE WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE THE CHANGE SO THE SYSTEM WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO CHANGE THE TITLE OR REMOVE THE RESERVE SETTING.
MY APOLOGIES. MAKE AN OFFER IF YOU LIKE.
On Mar-18-13 at 19:28:24 PDT, seller added the following information:
NOTE: The red sheepskin seat covers shown in the trunk are not included. They came in my 450 SLC and were in the trunk to get cleaned.
Also, this 280 has never been driven in snow despite the fact I live in Iowa.

Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.
Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
