1970 Mercedes Benz 300SEL 3.5 This 3.5 is a great survivor car that has not been restored but rather has been lovingly maintained and serviced over the years. It was originally sold, on June 15, 1970, in Salem, Oregon to LM Hill, Inc. I purchased the 3.5 last year from a gentlemen in Oregon who regularly drove the car and performed extensive service on the car, see pics of invoices. The most important aspect of any w109 Mercedes is the air suspension. This 3.5 has sat for over a month without any leak down of the suspension. This is virtually unheard of; I have no concerns about the air suspension. The 3.5 engine starts right up and runs well. It has been extensively serviced, see pics of invoices. Transmission Shifts Smoothly. The 3.5 Brakes Properly and Straight. The Rare and Desirable Sunroof works great, See Video! The A/C has been converted to R134, see invoice, and blows cold! The Original Becker Radio works! Original Books and Warranty Plate! Excellent 3 Point Retractable Seat Belts Up Front and Kangols in the Rear! New Alternator and Battery! All lights, interior and exterior, work properly. Heater levers were replaced and work properly. Windows go up and down and vacuum door lock system works. Glass is all in great condition and the chrome and stainless trim present well! Original, Solid and Dry Undercarriage and Jack Points! Lovely 2 Tone Color Code 717G Papyrus White Body and 124G Arabian Grey Roof over Red Interior. Obviously, the car has the occasional nick or scratch on what appears to be the first respray. It is not a restored 3.5, but a nice well-maintained turn key 3.5. There is very little work-wise I suggest if one only wants a driver. However, I would suggest budgeting for certain repairs that you may deem necessary, for example replacement of the steering coupling (~$200) and any other items that are not necessary to drive the car as-is but would increase your enjoyment of this lovely 3.5. WE HAVE OTHER CLASSIC MERCEDES AVAILABLE! I can assist with shipping worldwide (major European Ports $1,250-$1,500) . I will deliver to Jacksonville, FL Port for $200 or Miami Port for $325.

2017 Aston Marin Lagonda could live on Mercedes M-Class platform
Tue, 29 Oct 2013A few weeks ago, we brought you news from the launch of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante that the British brand, which is formally known as Aston Martin Lagonda, was still planning on going ahead with a Lagonda-badged crossover. Now comes word that that vehicle could very well be based on a Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
When the first Lagonda Concept debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, it sat on a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class platform, some four years before Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG deal was inked. And with that partnership, which will see Aston Martin gain access to AMG electrics and "bespoke, V8 powertrains," the opportunities for platform sharing are many.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, the boss of Aston Martin, told the UK's AutoCar, "I look at what Porsche is doing with the 911 as its core business and then it is able to do models like the Cayenne based on the Volkswagen Touareg. It is good business." We've said many times that we'll tolerate exotic CUVs and SUVs if it means keeping the beloved core models alive, which has been the case with Porsche. We see no reason Aston Martin wouldn't be able to do the same.
Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA gets official ahead of Shanghai
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz has something special planned for the Shanghai Motor Show - a new CUV concept that we first saw when it leaked on the internet yesterday. The GLA Concept compact crossover will hit the show stand with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque mated to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive, and likely previews a new production model that we've already spotted testing.
That's not news, but the laser-based headlamps with video-projecting capability certainly are. Mercedes-Benz says the array can project any image or video onto a screen, which is handy since there are a pair of HD cameras mounted to the roof rack. The cameras can be removed and taken with you on all sorts of adventures. The lamps also feature a visible cooling system comprised of a series of fans, and the system helps give the headlights their "sparkle" effect.
Step indoors and the GLA offers up the interior of a high-quality crossover, complete with contrasting leather and plenty of aluminum. The automaker says the cabin was inspired by saddle craftsmanship with "more than 65 feet of hand-stitched seams to hold the raw edges of the leather together."
Mercedes to roll out C63 AMG late in 2014 with 4.0L V8
Mon, 30 Dec 2013The new 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is upon us, launching initially in North America with turbocharged four-cylinder C300 4Matic and six-cylinder C400 4Matic flavors. But that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the vast array of powertrain configurations that will be offered in the new C-Class in markets around the world. Orders will soon be rolling in for gasoline, hybrid and diesel engines with four, six or eight cylinders, driving the rear wheels or all four, with the seven-speed automatic transmission soon to be replaced by a new nine-speed unit. But what enthusiasts are really looking forward to is the next C63 AMG.
As BMW has done with the M3 (and new M4), Mercedes has gradually ratcheted up the cylinder count in its AMG C-Class, graduating from the 3.6-liter V6 in the original C36 AMG to the 4.3-liter V8 in the C43 AMG, then the 5.5-liter V8 in the C55 AMG before going the distance with the sublime 6.2-liter V8 in the C63 AMG. Like its rivals, Mercedes is expected to use turbochargers as a replacement for displacement in the next model, but unlike its Bavarian rival, it won't be losing any cylinders in the process.
Skipping the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that has gone on to power other AMG models, the next C63 AMG is still expected to introduce a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing between 450 and 500 horsepower. It'll also reportedly keep the same seven-speed automatic transmission (instead of switching to the new nine-speed), but the jury's still out on whether it'll come with rear- or all-wheel drive (or offer buyers the choice). The downsized V8 - codenamed M177 - is then expected to find its way into other models, but the C-Class will be the first to get it when it arrives before the end of the new year ahead.
