1973 Mercedes Benz 450se on 2040-cars
Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States

For this Mercedes, there is a lot of good with this car and a tiny bit of work needed.
Runs, starts every time, driven daily, had many new parts and only one small spot of rust by the front right headlight assembly. Some minor things and a paint job and this thing is classic car show ready! Has the 250K Kilometer badge and certificate. New.... 2 fuel injectors, new plugs, new wires, new distributor cap, new rotor, new ignition points, new condenser, replaced- trigger points, new coil, new O2 sensor, new cooling sensor, replaced throttle position sensor, new fuel filter, new oil filter, new antenna, and new battery. Runs pretty good but not perfect. Sunroof works good, and the car has power! The 450se has the D-Jetronic engine which was one the best engines of all time. Now for the current minor issues, needs a new odometer (all of the instrument cluster was unhooked when purchased as the owner was restoring), ac doesn't work, needs a new blower motor for heater and needs a new muffler, headlight cover, and though the tires have plenty of tread they should be replaced but have been driven as they are with no problem. (cracks from setting) Also the rear seat back top is cracked from sun. The front seats are ok but not perfect, also needs a new hood release and cable. It can be opened with pliers pulling the cable so the engine can be viewed and such. The hood real ease and exhaust are probably the most pressing issues. In excellent condition this car can sell for as much as $11,000 or more. Hagertys Collector car insurance will insure the car for between $6,000 and $10,000. Now for more good, It's a sweet classic Mercedes. I bought it for my son as a project and it was barely running when we got it, we did some work and a local Mercedes mechanic did some work. Son is heading off to college and can't have a car and I would rather see it finished rather than left setting again. It set for a while before we got it. He has also switched his desires. It's a great car to finish and take to shows. Will trade for a BMW R1100rt or R1200rt. |

Mercedes working on new inline-six engines
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Mercedes-Benz will make a return to the inline-six-cylinder engine game, according to a report from the UK's AutoCar. It's not clear what's prompting the phasing out of the current array of V6s.
We'll see the first inline-six from Mercedes in next-generation E-Class, set to debut in 2016. Following that, it'll arrive as part of a mid-cycle refresh for the C-Class in 2017. What's particularly special about the new inline-six is its modular nature, which will allow Mercedes to eventually spinoff three- and four-cylinder options, with the three-pot arriving alongside the new inline-six.
In other news, AutoCar uncovered some details on the next C-Class AMG, which will ditch its excellent 6.2-liter, AMG V8 in favor of a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, although we've already told you about that. What we didn't know at the time, though, was that the 4.0-liter would be paired first with a new, seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission and offer all-wheel drive. AC also reports that a nine-speed Speedshift is in the works.
Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris
Thu, 11 Apr 2013It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.
