1970 Mercedes Benz 300sel 6.3 on 2040-cars
Daytona Beach, Florida, United States
Engine:8 CY
Drive Type: RWD
Model: 300-Series
Mileage: 82,624
Trim: 4 Door
The following is a discussion of all of the major systems and components of this car:
Engine: In 2001-2002 the engine was removed. Valve guides, piston rings, all gaskets, timing chain and guides, rocker arms, water pump, main bearings and other wear items were replaced. This engine is dry and does not use oil between 2,500 mile oil services. The reason for the removal and disassembly was because valve guides were needed, and it was easier to remove the entire engine. This car did not suffer a major mechanical failure.
During the rebuild, a rebuilt injection pump and injectors were installed. We have documentation from Star Motors that references all of the parts purchased for the rebuild.
Transmission: The transmission's external seals were replaced. Its internals are very nice, and it shifts well, with no hard shifts or flaring.
Suspension and steering: Star motors replaced the front subframe mounts and engine mounts following the engine rebuild. The steering coupling was also replaced, but I think this car will need another one soon. The steering box does have some play. There are no noticeable noises from the suspension and it seems to have been surfaced at the prescribed intervals.
Air suspension system: In 2001, new air bags were installed. The air bags are still in good shape. The leveling valves do not leak excessively, but they do have some internal leakage, meaning that after two days or so, the light will come on, but the car will not sink down. The check valve in the tank used to leak, but we fixed it. So while the air suspension is not perfect, it does stay up for two weeks or so.
Brakes: The brakes work well, with no sticking calipers and no pulling to the left or right.
Interior is in good/nice condition. Brand new headliner, New upgraded radio/ speaker system, and cold AC. This Mercedes starts right up with a turn of the key. The ride is very smooth and extremely fast, if any of you have had the pleasure of driving a solid 6.3 then you know what I mean.
Call Pierre with any questions 407.765.2867.

Maybach officially discontinues all models for 2013
Tue, 14 Aug 2012The word "Maybach" has joined the long list of synonyms for the word "kaput." Mercedes-Benz released the price list for the 2013 models of its super-luxury sedans, with the price column simply stating "Discontinued" for each one of them.
The 2012 models, should there be any left for 11th-hour buyers, maintain the increased MSRPs that Daimler slapped on them late last year after it was known the brand would be terminated next year. But you might still be able to wrangle that $100,000 rebate if you ask nicely, or in Russian, or have Rick Ross ask for you.
It shouldn't be too long before we see the ultimate version of the next generation S-Class, the S600 Pullman, that will replace Maybach. Intriguingly, it's said the Pullman will be offered with every S-Class engine, even the four-cylinder diesel.
Zetsche's CEO tenure extended through 2016 at Daimler
Sun, 24 Feb 2013There appear to be two takes on Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche having his contract extended for three more years, to 2016. A report in The Detroit News quotes the chairman of Daimler's supervisory board, Manfred Bischoff, talking up the stability at the top, "With today's extensions of the contracts of Dieter Zetsche and Thomas Weber, we are maintaining the important continuity at the top executive level." Bischoff also stated that that Zetsche has a plan to "further enhance Daimler's overall performance."
Over at Reuters, though, the three-year extension was seen as a lack of complete confidence in Zetsche's plans, since his contract was supposedly meant to be extended by five years. A spokesman said the board decided to extend executive contracts by only three years if the person was 60 or would turn 60 during the contract, but that was news to observers. Zetsche wants to make Mercedes-Benz the top selling luxury manufacturer globally by 2020, but has fallen to third place behind Audi and BMW. It hasn't held the top spot 2005, and investors judged it valued at half that of BMW at the end of 2012 once Daimler's truck business was subtracted.
Analysts cites the fact that Daimler stock hasn't bested its rivals but twice in twelve years, and that the company revised its profit target downward last year by nearly one billion euros, warning of stagnant earnings this year and will miss its original margin target for 2013.
Dartz promises own 6x6 G-Class with golden shishas and a dining room
Mon, 25 Mar 2013So you didn't really think Dartz Motorz was going to let the limited-production, 544-horsepower Mercedes 6x6 G63 AMG go without a challenge, did you? Picking up the gauntlet as only Dartz can, the Russian dream-makers have come up with the Sahara G-eopard, supposedly a special request from a buyer to make one of the 'standard' six-wheelers "more opulent and insane."
That means the vehicle from the factory gets extended by about a foot (30 centimeters), coach doors in the rear, a "yacht floor" and air conditioning that runs on its own power source, Asanti 24-inch Gold Bullion wheels and a water dispenser with Russian diamonds, which the owner will need to fill the golden shishas (hookahs) in the portable smoking room. That's right, you heard the man: a portable smoking room. Where the occupants will retire when they're finished in the portable dining room. Of course.
Yes, it will even have leopard spotting painted onto its nano-coating, and so much more. You can check out the press release below from the source. Try not to be jealous.
