| Yes, I put another 1000 miles on the old girl since the last listing, and lowered the price $500. If you wanted a gas car you really should move up to a the reliability of this diesel. You won't be disappointed! Mercedes 5 Cylinder Turbo diesel starts right up and does not smoke on start up. Never driven on Ohio salted winter roads. This car is driven everyday in the summer. It was painted prior to the turn of the century with the new base coat clear coat. The windshield was also replaced. It is stored indoors during the winters here in Ohio. It has always maintained by a local Mercedes shop since 1993, but I did the oil changes. The engine was entirely rebuilt in March 99 by this shop at 142,000. New pistons, fitted in sleeve sets, rings included. Crank polished and turned. New rod and main bearings. Injectors and glow plugs replaced with new. After the rebuild and 10,000 miles I switched to Shell Rotella Synthetic oil. It runs very well on Blended WVO. The blended fuel saves about 50% in fuel costs. It can run on diesel or blended fuel with no other modifications all day long. I have installed an auxiliary fuel pump and filter to accommodate the Blended fuel. Shortly after this spare no expense rebuild the injection pump was replaced with a brand new one. The turbocharger was sent to Hard-line Turbo for an update and rebuild. I will give you many extra parts as I dismantled another car just like this one. Spare turbo diesel, transmission and anything else I could salvage from the other car is yours. Any parts left behind will be scrapped. Another local shop did frame restoration on the control arms on all four wheels this last summer. It needs a few things like a front bumper snubber and rear seats stuffed, but the upholstery is real nice. Driver and passenger seats are fine too. There is area where there are some smaller than a dime rust bubbles, that I noticed when taking pictures. Rust spot is on the drivers rear wheel quarter panel, and it shows in the pictures. The climate control has been upgraded to the newer trouble-free system, shown in the under hood pictures. This is about a $600 upgrade option. It is a very sound vehicle and has saved us tremendous amount of money. In my town where there are stop signs at every block, it still gets 25 mpg. Using half of this as WVO pushes it to over 50 paid for miles per gallon. On the highway, depending on the speed you can get 30 and 35 here in Ohio. It is not light by any means. It tips the scales up over 4000 pounds with passengers, so you can feel safe and protected in it. Not like today’s plastic cars. All the maintenance records from 1993 will show the care it has had by the same shop. The lucky new owner will be getting a nice car along with how to instructions for simple WVO blending that will save over half of your fuel costs. Taken care of this vehicle will last another 30 years! Most Mercedes parts are still available today unlike other vehicles. It is very simple mechanical fuel injection without all the complex emissions controls. This motor was called the million-mile motor. Other components for example, the shifter bushings were just replaced with new ones still available from Mercedes. The rear door actuator for the power locks was replaced and the parts were sent the next day. Just to mention a few recent things. Try getting a Ford, Dodge, or Chevrolet part for something over thirty years old. That may require a lot more effort and may take weeks to find if you are lucky. Step over to some German technology that was way ahead of its time. Enjoy peace of mind and economy at the same time. This is also a great candidate for pure WVO grease car kits. I just sold a VW that runs on straight WVO with the switching system. Although the blended fuel is easier and simple for my wife to use. There are no switches to remember while driving. Filler up with blend and drive, or use diesel if you do not have blend available. Any other questions please ask. I will be happy to pick any purchaser at the airport either Cleveland, Ohio, or Pittsburg, Pa. |

How could a lifted Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG be more awesome? Add an axle
Fri, 01 Mar 2013We are fully confident in saying that this will be the most amazing thing you see all day. First of all, it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen - in AMG spec, no less. And it's being shown off in high-definition video glory, blasting through the desert, jumping over sand dunes, and generally being awesome. But here's the kicker: It has six wheels. Three axles. And they're all driven. Holy $%!#.
Under the hood is AMG's usual 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, and total output is rated at 536 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That's impressive and all, but do keep in mind that the G63 6x6 weighs in at 8,322 pounds or, you know, the weight of two E-Class sedans. Combine that with its 18 inches of ground clearance, 37-inch tires and five locking differentials and you've got a vehicle capable of, well, everything you've ever imagined or will ever imagine for the rest of your life.
But the goodness doesn't stop once you open the doors. Oh, no. This thing is fit for a king - or a sheik, more appropriately - with ultimately luxurious seating for four. The rear bench seat has been removed in favor of two bucket seats with a fixed console in the middle, and the rear seats have been moved back beyond the usual B pillar to allow for more legroom.
Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is Affalterbach's first big leap into the little pond
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The recent history of AMG is turning out amped-up versions of Mercedes-Benz offerings that would hardly ever be mistaken for their sedate counterparts. Sure, you'd need to pay attention to pick a G-Class from the G63 AMG, but dual side-pipes are a quick giveaway. The Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is not only a new era in Affalterbach's attention on smaller cars, it is probably also the most subtle transformation we can think of in the line-up.
Low and chunky enough in standard guise to make a sporting impression, the aesthetic makeover is confined to black trim around the lower rim of the hatch, black wheels with red brake calipers and a single, rectangular exhaust tip on either side of the diffuser. It's easier to make a positive ID inside, where the flat-bottomed steering wheel, red seatbelts and red-rimmed details say, "You know what I am..."
If the car is running, though, it won't take but a second. The 2.0-liter turbo spitting 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet will grumble through a sport exhaust at idle, and bellow through the same on it's way to a 0-60 time of less than 4.5 seconds. And if you need something that looks a little harder - and you want those quad pipes - then the A45 AMG Edition 1 is the treasure you seek. There's a press release below for all the info you'll need until the hot hatch goes on sale in Germany later this year, and photos for the rest of us while we wait to find out if we'll get a chance to buy it.
New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
