They say every car has a story....if this is true, this one would be made into an action packed movie!

 

This car was featured on the hit tv show, Fast n Loud on The Discovery Channel, April 1, 2013 as part of their mid season finale. The car was sold to me on the show through Gas Monkey Garage.


The Benz you see pictured started its life with its originally owner being the one and only Emmitt Smith of the Dallas Cowboys!
Emmitt drove the car a number of years, I have a copy of the registration dating back to 1996, this will go with the sale.
 

I have all the original owners manuals, that contain his name, address and phone number, these items will of course go with the sale. 
There is also a dash plaque containing his name. This will go with the sale as well.
 
I've googled Emmitt Smith Mercedes, and found several articles, about this car. Most recent his wife mentioned it on her show, the D. Her show is out of Dallas Texas. She was interviewing, Richard and Aaron from Gas Monkey Garage from Dallas Texas, and they found her husbands Benz.

Now onto the car.....
I drove the car around Dallas while I was there and it performed as expected. It runs and drives great, but of course because of its age, it is not perfect. 
The only mechanical, electrical issue I noticed was most of the guages dont work. (Hence why the car will be sold TMU, mileage exempt)If you google this its a common problem, that can be addressed by replacing the instrument panel with a used one. Not too expensive. Passenger side window is also inoperable.
 
Mostly what Ive noticed is some slight cosmetic issues. The car has definitely had a repaint at once in its life. The drivers seat has been redone at one time, but not by the nice lady on the show (Sue). The passenger seat has tears on the seams. 

The hardtop is currently on the car and I have removed it, to see the convertible top. The top itself is in good shape, but the rear windows are useless.
The Benz has an aftermarket McIntosh CD player (when is the last time youve seen one of these?) It also has 6x9 speakers in the rear deck in a custom enclosure.  

Overall this is a great driver, with a great story behind it. Anyone can have a signed jersey....how many people can say they have the car that one of the best football players of all time owned and that was featured on a hit tv show! Quite the conversation starter!

I've sold many cars on EBAY and maintain a 100% feedback as both buyer and seller. I will help with shipping anyway I can, at the buyers expense. If you would like to drive the car home, I will be glad to pick you up at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.

Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class

Mon, 18 Mar 2013


The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
