1976 Mercedes-benz 450sel Base Sedan 4-door 4.5l - Cool Classic!! on 2040-cars
Lawrence, Kansas, United States
1976 Mercedes 450 SEL 4.5l V8 Cool classic!! Low reserve!! This Classic Mercedes is a chance for you to own a restorable Classic at a fraction of the cost of a fully restored or original condition vehicle. It is a running vehicle with good bones ready for someone to take it to the next level or simply enjoy it as is. This was my project car that I was slowly working on but we have purchase a large older home and need to focus on its renovation so my other projects must go. I have done a lot of work to get the car running decently starting with fixing intake leaks by replacing the intake seals as well as the injector seals. professionally cleaned the injectors and replaced various hoses etc. I also replaced the Warm up regulator with a rebuilt unit. I also replaced the fuel pump and Fuel accumulator to cure the hard start problems it had when I got it. Always Starts up now. It also had the leaky exhaust pipes replaced and new catalytic converters installed. I replace the two front tires and the rear tires have maybe 30% tread left and will need replaced soon. The brakes are strong, steering is tight. The exterior is in good condition for its age. The paint job was done by the previous owner and is OK certainly not show worthy but looks pretty good. The interior is in decent shape. Seats were recovered by previous owner, headliner is intact and the sunroof works. Here are issues I know about Carpet is a bit thin and some of the vinyl is cracked here and there including dash. Passenger front window regulator is off track goes down but does not like to come up. Heater servo is non functional Vacuum locks do not work Antenna motor non functional A few areas of rust - drivers side jack point, rear passenger wheel well (see pics) all areas are repairable and the underbody, floor pans, etc are in good shape. Like I said this is a great starting point for someone to build a really nice car for a low reserve - Look around Ebay and see what these are going for. this item is listed locally as well and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells. Please ask any questions and Good Luck! |

World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
Gullwing America turns SLS AMG Roadster into stunning 1955 300 SC redux
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Gullwing America specializes in what it calls "retro styling meets modern technology." It's next demonstration of that is the convertible above, a stylized recreation of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC (inset) supported by the structure of a 2012 SLS AMG Roadster. Commissioned by a client in Eastern Europe, the resulting car is called the 300 SLC.
The hand-formed aluminum bodywork required just a few changes to the SLS AMG Roadster, namely reworking the headlights into a stacked arrangement of LEDs and relocating the pop-up spoiler behind the cabin. The retro grille and long, straight hood evoke the past, the custom exhaust, height-adjustable suspension, 21-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in back, however, stray a little further from history. The 300 SLC will come with a hardtop and be one-of-a-kind, making it even rarer than its inspiration, of which 92 were made.
If you have any more questions, they can probably be answered in the high-res photo gallery above and press release below.
Mercedes rules out hybrid supercar, promises SLS successor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013The recent Geneva Motor Show was a festival of hypercars, with the presence of not one, but three over-the-top debuts: the Lamborghini Veneno, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LeFerrari. The latter two have hitched their carbon fiber bumpers to the electrification bandwagon by using hybrid-electric powertrains not entirely unlike the propulsion systems we've come to know in cars like the Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Volt. Does that mean the flow of electrons up the four-wheeled food chain will eventually consume our hallowed supercars? Not if AMG has anything to say about it.
AMG Director of Vehicle Development Tobias Moers recently confirmed that not only will there be a successor to the Mercedes-Benz performance division's SLS AMG, he notes that its internal combustion engine will most definitely not be sharing living quarters with an electric drivetrain. Instead, AMG plans to focus on further pushing the power and efficiency envelope of the internal combustion engine and advancing the use of lightweight materials to achieve their goals. The first example of this effort can be seen in the new SLS AMG Black Series that incorporates many weight-saving techniques to shed some 154 pounds from the SLS AMG GT (above), which itself is lighter than the standard SLS AMG.
Furthermore, Moers remarks that his company is happy to leave the hypercar segment to companies like Ferrari and McLaren. He admits that, "Ferrari in the hyper-car segment is still a different brand than AMG. We have to be honest..." So rather than taking the SLS further upmarket to do battle with bulls and stallions, Moers hinted that the next-generation SLS may be joined by another performance model that fits neatly between itself and the C63 AMG.
