Lexington, South Carolina, United States
|
1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Mechanically Sound & Updated On 6/24/2011, at 127,900 miles, the car's V8 underwent over $3,200 of work. This included the replacement of all timing guide rails, the double-row timing chain, both headgaskets, the valvetrain, all spark plugs, and the oil pan gasket. The 3.8 liter power plant now runs great and has about 6,000 miles on the new top end. Detailed receipts for the work are available. The tan leather interior is in good original condition with no rips or tears. The soft top and battery were both replaced in 2012. The car has four Michelin tires, and the original spare in the trunk looks like it's never been touched. It has recently had two new outer tie rod ends installed. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly, and the car has a newer Pioneer CD player with auxiliary input. Full Disclosure of Condition It is a 1985, and as such it's not perfect. The finish on the wheels show some flaking, and some of the exterior plastics aren't as black as they used to be. The air conditioning has been converted to R134, but a hose has two pinhole leaks. Quoted at $300 to repair. The driver's side door hinge is noisy. The dashboard has a small one inch crack/tear along the seam behind the gauge cluster. There is absolutely no rust. The car brakes quietly, stops quickly, and doesn't pull in either direction. Still Turning Heads On the whole, the car is in remarkable shape. It's an unrestored classic in outstanding mechanical condition that will drive anywhere at any time and look great doing it. It's a pleasure to look at, sit in, and drive. Don't miss it. |

Mercedes-Benz introduces new heavy security M-Class Guard model
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new addition to the company's line of personal security vehicles. The M-Class Guard features bullet-proof side windows made with special laminated glazing and a polycarbonate inner layer to protect occupants from shards of glass. Mercedes says the M-Class Guard meets protection level VR4 according to the Bullet Resistant Vehicles 2009 standards, based on testing from the independent Ulm-based Ballistics Bureau, which means it can withstand .357 Magnum and .44 fire from multiple angles. It can also stand up to the DM51 hand grenade when equipped with optional floor armoring. Why skimp?
Buyers looking for protection from the world's literal slings and arrows can opt for the ML350 BlueTEC with its 258 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. With 457 pound-feet of torque, the oil-burner should have no trouble hustling the privileged class about. Of course, the ML500 offers a bit more punch courtesy of a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Prices start at 105,050 euros for the diesel and 118,650 euros for the V8. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Sport
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Mercedes Makes A Mighty Little Sedan
We got overexcited when the W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan came out in 2001, calling it the "Baby Benz" when it really wasn't. We knew that, too, but our enthusiasm for a model more like the old 190 of the '80s was so strong that we were willing to stretch the first-gen C-Class to fit that mold. Today, the C-Class has done what all German premium cars do: grown in size. In this case, grown to satisfy the market intentions of the previous E-Class.
There was the tall A-Class sold from 1998 through 2010, but we never considered that a serious small Benz in the proper spirit, nor was it ever offered in the US. Regardless, we've been craving a smaller, premium, sexy sedan all the while.
Paul di Resta returns to DTM with Mercedes
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Some drivers manage to make the transition from one form of motor racing into another, and some run into trouble. Take Paul di Resta, for example. The promising young Scottish driver dominated Formula 3 racing in Europe in 2006, then moved over to Germany's hugely competitive DTM touring car series where he finished second in 2008, third in 2009 and first in 2010. But things didn't go as smoothly for Paul - cousin to retired Indy champion Dario Franchitti - when he moved in to Formula One with the Force India team.
In three years on the grid, he failed to score a single podium finish. Little surprise, then, that Force India opted not to renew his contract for this season. Left without a ride, di Resta is now going back to DTM with longtime supporter Mercedes-Benz, testing the new C-Class touring car today in Portugal. It's good news for Mercedes, which is celebrating 120 years in motor racing this season and, with 2005 champion Gary Paffett also on board, can now count two former champions on its DTM roster.
We wouldn't count Paul out of F1 for good, though. When he won the DTM title four years ago, he was also moonlighting as Force India's test driver, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him pull similar double-duty with the Mercedes F1 team (or another Benz-powered outfit) this year before spring-boarding back into grand prix racing in the future. At 27 years old, he may not have been the youngest driver on the grid this year, but he's still got a good few years ahead of him.
