Hello, I am selling a 1973 Mercedes Benz 280 c 2 door coupe with 26,084 miles on it. This car has recently been restored to its original charm. Luckily, we had a good base to work with. This car has a 114 body style that is considered to be one of Mercedes’ finest and most desirable. It is no wonder that the car is a stand out that will make your neighbors heads turn. The color adds to the car’s character and appeal as well. The baby blue color is a color that just isn’t made anymore but one that was originally typical to this car. The car was recently received a $4,000 paint job so while it looks fresh, new and clean, we were able to maintain the character by keeping the traditional coloring. The seats have also been recovered,the brake system has been redone, the ignition system was upgraded to make it an electronic ignition, and much more has been done. The objective in restoring the car was to put it in good working condition while maintaining the style and character.The 280c is a joy to drive. It runs great with a sports car feel and it shifts with ease. We have all the originals manuals and all documentation of the restoration from our ownership will be given with the sale. $16,000 dollars were spent on the restoration alone so this is a steal. The only minor issues that we have come across are tiny crack. in the windshield that has been drilled and filled to prevent the crack from increasing and a minor problem with the carburetor. The carburetor was rebuilt in 2007 and with a little TLC it can be easily addressed. On that note, I have a spare solex 4A1 4 barrel carburetor that will be included in the sale to make sure that there are absolutely no issues. With all of that being said the car still runs great as is but these small repairs would enhance this prized possession. The vin number is available upon request. We would be happy to answer any questions you have and wish to hope you a happy bidding.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
Daimler names Bernd Pischetsrieder to supervisory board
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Some executives in the automotive industry stay with one company for their entire careers, while others bounce from one to the other, often leaving their indelible mark on each automaker at which they serve. Bob Lutz is certainly an example of the latter. So is Lee Iacocca, having presided over Ford and later charing the Chrysler board. Carlos Tavares was chief operating officer of Renault before being nominated as chief executive at PSA Peugeot Citroën. But as far as the Germans go, nobody's jumped from the leadership of one automaker to the next quite like Bernd Pischetsrieder - especially now that he's been named to the supervisory board of Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler.
An engineer by training, Pischetsrieder started his career at BMW in 1973, eventually rising to the office of CEO after twenty years. There he remained until 1999, only to be dismissed after orchestrating BMW's takeover of the Rover Group (of which only the Mini brand remains in the company's portfolio, the other brands having been sold off after his dismissal).
The next year he was named chairman of Volkswagen's Seat brand, and rose to the chairmanship of the entire Volkswagen Group two years later. Despite a largely successful four-year tenure (that gave birth, incidentally, to the Bugatti Veyron), disagreements with supervisory board chairman Ferdinand Piëch saw him leave the helm at VW AG, focusing his attention on the Scania truck division. He's since been touted as a potential chief executive for Opel and for Continental, but neither potential was apparently realized.
