I have for sale a good and solid 1975 Mercedes 280 or W114. It has the dual over head cam inline 6 cylinder motor or the M110 ,for Mercedes folks, with an automatic transmission. This car looks great for its age inside and out. 

The good:
Motor compression test within normal specs.
Transmission Shifts like silk.
Power Windows all work.
Cruise seems to work but honestly I never use it.
Strong Battery.
Trunk pan solid. 
New Tires.
New Vacuum Pump Diaphragm.
Oil Change.
Original Radio (which works)
Spark Plugs. 
Spark Plug Wires.
Good Paint.
Solid Floor Pans.
Solid Rockers.
Original owners manual and owners plate.
Interior has minimal wear.
This car has many great things going for it considering its age.

The NOT so bad.

Drivers side front fender got bent slightly due to the tire grabbing it. (My Fault and in picture)
Could use a carburetor rebuild. It works fine but I am unsure when it was rebuilt last. (Solex 4A1)
Gauges work but some are sporadic and inaccurate (gas gauge, temp, and alt.). Speedometer and oil pressure is fine.  All indicator lights in cluster work.
Cables for heater need lubrication to move properly. None are broken. 
Blower fan switch was bypassed to a toggle switch but can easily be switched back. Fan works strong.
Antenna motor works but stays on.

The car is only being sold because I desperately need a 4x4.  Trade are always a possibility. looking for something small. 

Email with ANY question.

$500 through paypal at auction close.....No exceptions unless arranged with me.
I reserve the right to end the auction at any time due to me having the vehicle for sale or trade locally.

In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid for fat cats frugal with fuel

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

Judging by how long we waited to get a clear shot of the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid, you'd have thought hybrid cars were only driven by Terminators and that the technology arrived only 48 hours ago through a wormhole in the Mercedes stand. The newest member of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class hybrid band - joining the S400 Hybrid and S350 BlueTEC Hybrid, it hits notes like a 5.5-second sprint from standstill to 62 miles per hour, up to 19 miles of ion-powered running and uses three liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in Europe (78.41 mpg US, but our mpg test cycle is different than their mpg test cycle).
The lump up front is a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6, the lump in back - note the reduction in trunk space - is a pack of lithium-ion batteries that juice an 80-kilowatt electric motor. Other than having four drive options for controlling electric drive and battery usage, it's all S-Class all the time, with leather-covered everything and those mountainous thrones that bring to mind words like "Archduke" and "Papal."

VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes

Sun, 06 Jan 2013

The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
