1991 Mercedes 500sl Roadster Red Convertible on 2040-cars
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
|
I'm selling my sweet
little 1991 red 500SL, I hate to move it on to its next home but I need to get
my son a (more) practical car. I've owned the car a
for three years and have loved every minute of it. It starts up and drives great
on highway or surface streets and has great pick up and lots of power.
Extremely low miles (118k) for a 20 year old car. The body is the R129
style. Car has four new Falken tires and the car drives straight and smooth. All
five rims (including spare) are Mercedes factory and in good shape. The drivers seat had a tear/separation in the leather but overall, the interior is in pretty good shape. The dash has no cracks or
imperfections. I have the red hard top and it's in perfect shape, but
honestly I've never put it on. This car was built as a convertible and
looks and drives best with the roof down! The car has not been restored
and all equipment is original. I've kept my reserve low and would consider this as a project car due to the following list of imperfections: The hydraulics for the
automatic roof don't work. I'm not sure if it's one or all of the
hydraulic pumps, but to raise and lower the soft roof (which is in perfect
shape) you need to use the Mercedes spacer tool (provided). The passenger seat and
seat belt are stuck in the locked position. I don't know how to fix
this. The drivers side seat works and folds forward perfectly giving access to the back storage and the seat belt works perfectly. There is some clear coat bubbling on the hood. I was told that this is a common problem with this vintage year and color. I don't think the car needs a repaint. I've takes a couple of close up pics of the hood, it's hard to see from pictures, but it's not too bad and only on the hood. The
plastic trim bumper on the front of the car has been cracked hitting curbs and
such. It looks fine but has some visible
cracks in the plastic. Drivers side door key
won't lock from the outside. To lock the car, you have to do it from the
passengers side. Power antennae won't
raise or lower. The radio / cassette (original) turns on but says “stand by”
but no radio stations come in. The
antennae is stuck in the down position. AC doesn't blow cold (heat works perfectly) Lately, after starting and running for a while, the accelerator hesitates before moving. This seems to happen after the engine has warmed up and it's sporadic. Not sure what it is, fuel pump maybe? Overall, the car is in
great shape. It's such a fun car to scoot around town in, and I'm sure you'll
love it. I've kept my reserve
low. Feel free to phone or email with any questions at all. You're welcome of
course to inspect the car as you'd like. Includes new mats
(generic), original manual, passenger compartment add-on wind screen block
and a fitted car cover. The car is in my home garage in Atlanta Georgia and the pick up
and transportation are the buyers responsibility. Winning bid must be paid
within 3 days in cash, certified funds or via PayPal. This vehicle
is sold "as is," and has no warranty expressed or implied. Serious
inquires only please. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
ask by e-mail. If you require a call back, leave your number and I will call
you. Happy Bidding and thanks for looking! |

Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...
New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe spied in revealing state of dress
Tue, 19 Feb 2013During a product briefing earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz told us that 2013 would be the "year of the S-Class." Makes sense, too, since the flagship Mercedes is so very close to finally showing its production-ready face. But the high-tech saloon isn't the only S-Class to talk about this year - quite the contrary. Seen here in decidedly revealing camouflage, the new S-Class Coupe will be joining its four-door compadre in the not-too-distant future, as well.
When it launches, the S-Class Coupe will officially do away with the CL-Class nomenclature. This doesn't come as a huge shock. After all, when the new E-Class coupe and convertible were launched, it officially marked the end of the long-running CLK-Class designation.
Thanks to the interesting camouflage seen here, we have a very good glimpse at how the S-Class Coupe will look when all of the molding and swirly paper are peeled off. Rakish body lines pulled from the CLS-Class meet a much more dynamic front fascia. Out back, there are horizontal taillamps rather than the vertical units used on the current car, and the whole package seems very svelte. Our spy photographer even posits that this will be "the best-looking car from Mercedes-Benz in ages."
Race Recap: Singapore Grand Prix is about a safety car and submission
Mon, 23 Sep 2013The Singapore Formula One Grand Prix is the Monaco GP of the Orient - a weekend known more for its glamour and time-slot than on-track action, with a temporary circuit that punishes every mistake, usually terminally.
Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas got the best of Free Practice 1, opening the curtain on a possible resurgence of Silver Arrows performance. By the time qualifying was done, though, it was his teammate Nico Rosberg who lined up second on the grid, followed by Romain Grosjean with a beautiful performance in the Lotus, Mark Webber in the Infiniti Red Bull, and Hamilton all the way back in fifth. Behind them were Felipe Massa outqualifying Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button getting the McLaren into eighth, Daniel Ricciardo with another good Q3 effort to get into ninth, and the shocker of Esteban Gutiérrez getting his Sauber into the top ten for the first time this year.
At the front of the pack was Sebastian Vettel. Again. But he was only ahead of Rosberg by a single tenth of a second...
