Description

I am a broker, I have been hired to sell this car. All the pictures, that you see in this auction, were taken by me, with an ordinary digital camera and then downloaded on this auction. They are the original photographs. They have not been touched or tampered with in any way. What you see are genuine pictures of a genuine car. I am very proud and honored to present this vehicle for auction on ebay. Not very often to cars come along, that have been lovingly taken care of, such as this vehicle. This auction I am presenting a 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC. Two door sedan, with rear wheel drive and very strong 190 horsepower, 4.5 liter V-8 engine. If you were to walk up to this car, you would think it brand new, it looks, feels and smells new. This car has been in Southern California since brand new. The first owner was an executive and used it for the first year, then his job supplied him with a car. The second owner, saw the car and fell in love with it. This car has always been garaged since brand new, the original "Walnut Brown" paint, is stunning, right down the incredible dual two tone pin stripes on the side and wheel wells as standard for the 450 SLC. The car has been kept completely original. The car has been meticulously maintained and repaired. All recalls by Mercedes-Benz have been completed to date. All services have been completed on the vehicle to date. It has a clean title. Clean car fax. The "Palomino" leather seats and surrounding upholstery are magnificent. All guages work as designed. The air conditioning is a cold as ice. The original radio works perfectly. This vehicle comes with owners manual, all service and maintenance records. Tires are new. Look at the pictures, look at the beautiful wheels, and chrome how they shine. You cannot tell the engine is running at stop signs. It has a smooth ride, and handles effortlessly. You cannot believe that this vehicle is over 30 years old, it is truly a treasure, especially with only 106,000 original miles. This owner made sure that this vehicle was always in perfect running order, and spared no expense. I would be hard pressed to find another in this condition. If you are looking, I strongly recommend that you take a second look at this beautiful car. Don't let this one get away.

The 450 SLC Story

They produced 31,000 450 SLC's during 1972 to 1980. The approximate MSRP ran about $41,592.00. This was one of the first sport sedans built for the public by Mercedes-Benz. This car came with a back seat. It's sister was the SL and that was just a two seater and the top came off. This car has a permanent or fixed top, with a sunroof, which added 1.2 inches to the vehicle height. They added 14.2 inches to the vehicle from the door to the wheel well and added a back seat. Mercedes-Benz at the time, was looking to come up with a vehicle that would compete with Citroen and Jaguar, and this was the car to do it. They added special louvers behind the back windows as a style feature and set it apart from the other models. There is no "B" pillar, so when all windows are down, it has a large openness and airy feeling. With the windows down and the sunroof open, I would say a nice drive up the coast in this car would be a beautiful drive. Autoweek at the time said of the 450 SLC, "The most superbly tuned motor carriage in the world, comfortable and agile."

Mercedes takes VW Westfalia Camper idea upscale with new Marco Polo

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz revealed the new V-Class. Slotting in below the popular Sprinter, the new V-Class replaced both the Viano and Vito upon its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. But Mercedes isn't quite done with it just yet. At the upcoming Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Germany, Mercedes will reveal the Marco Polo - a versatile, stylish and decidedly contemporary take on the classic camper van.
Named after the famous Italian explorer, the Marco Polo was converted by Westfalia, an outfit which you might more closely associate with classic VW camper vans but which Daimler absorbed over a decade ago. Offering, according to the press release below, "a maximum of opportunities to be independent, free and spontaneous," the Marco Polo sleeps four thanks to the rear bench that electrically folds flat into a bed and the second berth under the pop-top. The flexible interior is decked out like you'd expect a modern Mercedes to be, with ambient LED lighting as well as wood, metal and piano black trim.
It's got an onboard kitchenette with two gas burners, a sink and fridge with a 10 gallons of fresh water and an even bigger waste tank. All that gear is shlepped around by a choice of four-cylinder turbodiesel engines ranging in output from 136 to 190 horsepower. The relatively compact form boasts a turning circle similar to a full-size sedan and a height designed to fit into most garages and car washes. All of which just might make us reconsider the appeal of traveling by camper van.

Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details

Mon, 06 May 2013

Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.

Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
