1989 Mercedes Benz 560 Sec. Barn Find, Beautiful Car!! on 2040-cars
Dubuque, Iowa, United States
|
I am selling a 1989 Mercedes Benz 560 SEC. Awesome car, when I found it it had been stored in a garage for 6 years untouched. I brought it home, put a new fuel pump in, flushed the gas and oil, checked the entire car out thoroughly, and drove it. I have put about 3,000 miles on the car with no problems. I had intended to fully restore this car but am having a baby now and don't have the time or money to finish it so it is time to find it a new home. I haven't really done anything with the vehicle yet so it is basically in its unrestored condition and will need a good cleaning. The body looks great with no rust, I would say 9/10. Not perfect, a couple dings, but very good. Drivers side fog light will need replaced. The interior will need some work. The drivers seat has 2 large tears in it, but the heated seats both work so could be repaired. Also the seat belt extender on the passenger side is broken off, have the pieces to it but will probably need replaced. The roll top over the center console is broken up, pieces are in the center console. Headliner is good all the way to the back where it has started to separate, will need adhesive or replaced, but it is not too bad. All electronics, windows, and sunroof work fine and don't leak. Radio is original and only works on driver side, I suspect the fader control in the center consolde. Mechanically car runs great but has a couple issues. Idle is high when the car warms up, about 1200 rpm. I think this is due to the vacuum system needing to be gone through. Idle is a little rough sometimes but not always. Should have general tuneup plugs and wires replaced. Reverse engages right away when cold but takes longer to engage the longer the car is driven, all forward gears work just fine. Will need a rebuild soon, kit available for around $400.00 and not overly difficult job. Suspension a little noisy but not too bad.I am offering the car as a no reserve auction. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time and I encourage you to come check the car out before bidding.
Thanks! Matt |

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is Affalterbach's first big leap into the little pond
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The recent history of AMG is turning out amped-up versions of Mercedes-Benz offerings that would hardly ever be mistaken for their sedate counterparts. Sure, you'd need to pay attention to pick a G-Class from the G63 AMG, but dual side-pipes are a quick giveaway. The Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is not only a new era in Affalterbach's attention on smaller cars, it is probably also the most subtle transformation we can think of in the line-up.
Low and chunky enough in standard guise to make a sporting impression, the aesthetic makeover is confined to black trim around the lower rim of the hatch, black wheels with red brake calipers and a single, rectangular exhaust tip on either side of the diffuser. It's easier to make a positive ID inside, where the flat-bottomed steering wheel, red seatbelts and red-rimmed details say, "You know what I am..."
If the car is running, though, it won't take but a second. The 2.0-liter turbo spitting 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet will grumble through a sport exhaust at idle, and bellow through the same on it's way to a 0-60 time of less than 4.5 seconds. And if you need something that looks a little harder - and you want those quad pipes - then the A45 AMG Edition 1 is the treasure you seek. There's a press release below for all the info you'll need until the hot hatch goes on sale in Germany later this year, and photos for the rest of us while we wait to find out if we'll get a chance to buy it.
Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo
Fri, 15 Mar 2013To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.
