1973 Baby Blue Mercedes 450 SE

I recently bid on 2 Mercedes... and won them both(!).  I decided to keep and resore the 1970 280 and sell this beautiful 1973 450 se. Here's the scoop:


The exterior is in good condition-- completely straight, never wrecked, no dents or dings.  There is some superficial rust (see photos) but not substantial. 
The interior is in exceptional condition!  The headliner is completely intact and without stains or sagging. 

The interior is blue and both the front and back seats are 100%, with no rips/tears/cracks/ or signs of wear-- amazing for a 40 year-old car!!!  The dash has cracks (which could be covered with an aftermarket overlay-- seen here on eBay for around $100) and there is a small crack on the top of each door panel-- the rest of the door panel is pristine.

The engine starts immediately and runs smoothly.  There is an occasional leak around the first injector. NOTE: Transmission shifts but sometimes holds or slips. My mechanic says from sitting and will respond to Lucas.  I posted to the Mercedes Benz forum and received the same opinion-- minus the Lucas(!)-- HOWEVER, the transmission may need to be rebuilt or replaced.  For a full-price offer, I will include a replacement (and, for $500 above the full price, I will be happy to replace the transmission with one from the same year).  The vacuum locks need repair.

I am not  a mechanic but have described the car as accurately as I can.  That said, it is a 40 year-old Classic and is sold as-is.  It is important to note that the Hagerty guide values this year and model at $11,000. One in absolutely immaculate condition recently sold here for $13,000, and others in good condition have averaged around $7500.  As you can see, mine is priced to sell!  I am happy to answer any questions that you might have, so don't hesitate to ask.

 Thanks for looking!

p.s The car is advertised locally 'for trade' and I will pull the listing if I'm offered something so cool I can't breath without it....!!!

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG rumbles on stage 4Matic style

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Bruce Hornsby and his soothing piano skills helped introduce us to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but the monstrous E63 AMG sedan needed no entrance music as it rumbled on stage. The 550-horsepower (and up) sedan sat proudly alongside the rest of the redesigned E-Class on stage at the Detroit Auto Show, but stood miles apart in intention and execution.
In addition to a choice of sedan and wagon body styles, the E63 AMG will also offer buyers the choice of the standard 550 hp or an upgraded 577-hp S-Model; regardless of output, all 2014 E63 AMG models will come standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
We already saw the E63 AMG's aggressive styling last week, but now we have a full assortment of live images for you to enjoy as well as the Mercedes-Benz press release, which is also posted below.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class spied once again

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

As evidenced by how little camouflage the next-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been caught wearing lately, it can't be too much longer until the car will get its official debut. In our newest shots of the yacht-sized luxo sedan, the cladding still covers up the headlights, front fascia and most of the rear end, but we finally have an almost undisguised look at the rest of the car's lines.
Considering previous spy shots had more camo that better (or fully) concealed the S-Class' body, some of the more obvious things we see in these images include the prominent grille, the CLS-Class-inspired bodyside creases, the pointed trunk opening and, most interestingly, a lack of fancy exhaust outlets. Unlike other S-Class prototypes we've seen, this car does not have integrated outlets, but it does have two pipes on the left side of the car. All current S-Class models in the US and Europe feature a dual exhaust layout on each side of the car, so while some of our questions about the car get answered, it would appear that more are just arising.
