1979 Mercedes 450SLC Sports Coupe.

This is a very cool looking car. It has 88,000 miles and has had a recent paint job. The front seats and the rear back seat has new leather. Carpets are all good. Wheels are like brand new and tires are basically brand new (2,000 miles). There was some body work done before the paint job. Some metal was cut out and replaced if the rust was starting to go through and some fiberglass was added in a few spots where rust started but hadn't gone through. The lower fender skirts were added on each side to cover up the original dented and rusted rockers. You would never know they were from a SL model - they look great. The paint would have been great if they had wet sanded it but they didn't. It looks great from 5 feet but if you are up close and look there is some dust marks etc in the paint. I am not a paint person so I don't know if you could still wet sand to bring out the perfect paint or not. Chrome is all real good.

The interior as stated before looks great. There are a couple of issues. the original radio is included (not installed) but I have no idea if it works. I know the antenna would need to be replaced, but as far the rest - I do not know. The heater / AC controls are all there but one side of the mounting bracket is broke. It is attached so you would never know but trying to disclose everything. The cruise control doesn't work and the A/C doesn't work. All components for A/C are there but just doesn't work. Should need it for cruising on a nice summer day. All other components seem to wok fine.

The car is a little cold blooded in very cold weather. In the summer or in warm storage it fires right up. It runs out great and seems to need nothing mechanically. There is a small leak in the auxillary water pump. It will leak a little coolant. It is a $90 part from EcklersMBZparts.

This is a great car that you can jump in and drive or bring to the local shows (almost guaranteed only one there). It will never be a show car unless you can correct the paint and do a frame off restoration. But it is certainly a great 7 out of 10 car.

NADA Values
Original MSRP Low Retail Average Retail High Retail
$37,542 $9,750 $14,750 $21,400

This car would probably be priced around low to average retail by most collector car dealers. I want to make this car go away as I lost my storage space for my toys. My reserve is thousands below low retail!

$500 deposit through PayPal within 24 hours and balance within 7 days.

If you need shipment buyer will make all arrangements.

I would believe you could fly in and drive this car home anywhere, but it is a 35 year old car so I can't make any guarantees.

Please contact me with any questions before you bid

Does Alex Rodriguez' Mercedes dealership have a PR problem?

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Alex Rodriguez, in case you haven't heard, is seemingly the new Most Hated Man In Baseball, ostensibly replacing commissioner Bud Selig (for now). Rodriguez was slammed with a 211-game suspension due to his role in the MLB's latest steroid scandal in which "A-Roid," as fans have taken to calling the former superstar, was cited with steroid use and attempts to hide his involvement by "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate" the investigation, according to the MLB's official report.
Why is this on a car site, then? Because Rodriguez' name is attached Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City, TX. An Ad Age report cites Mercedes-Benz USA in saying that A-Rod owns "about half'" of the dealership. Mercedes, for what it's worth, isn't going to any to any lengths to distance itself from its dealership or its controversial namesake, saying, "We never promoted the fact that A-Rod owned a dealership, so there's really nothing to 'distance' ourselves from. And since his activity is not illegal but rather prohibited by MLB, there's nothing actionable here."
With the scandal still a fresh piece of news and A-Rod's pending appeal, it's difficult to tell what sort of effect, if any, his name will have on the dealership's sales. Ad Age contacted the GM of Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz to get the dealership's view, but no calls were returned. According to Mercedes, any name change is up to Rodriguez and his partner(s) at the dealership. Somehow, though, we think A-Rod has other things to worry about beyond his dealership's name.

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 teams with Pebble for smartwatch tech

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

Most automakers have realized by now that a good infotainment system is a must-have feature for many buyers, and have, as a result, invested increasing amounts of time and money developing these technologies. But some automakers are going above and beyond in-car entertainment and navigation technology by focusing on wearable technology as well.
Nissan has emerged as one such company, developing its own alternative to Google Glass and performance-oriented smartwatch. But Mercedes-Benz is also putting itself at the forefront of wearable tech - not by developing competing products to those designed by dedicated tech companies, but by working with them. The German automaker, as we recently reported, is developing its own app for Google Glass, and is now doing the same with smartwatches as well.
Set to be unveiled at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Mercedes has collaborated with Pebble Technologies to develop the Digital DriveStyle app. The system will display tell its wearer where the car is, whether the doors are locked and if it needs fuel. Inside the car it'll alert the driver to potential hazards coming up on the road, while making functions like re-routing the nav system, controlling the audio system or activating Siri that much easier.
