History This has always been a rust-free California car. I purchased the car about 5 years ago from the 2nd owner, and over time I restored the car. Everything on the car had been completely gone thru prior to the fire. The list of things I did is extensive and it pains me to list everything, but here is a brief summary. I have a 3-ring binder full of receipts (including the original receipt from Barry Taylor Enterprises where the AMG WIDEBODY conversion was done) and I'm sure I'm forgetting some things Exterior *New 040 black paint and body *Newly refurbished AMG 5 spoke road wheels *NOS Lorinser / Sebring muffler *New BFG GForce Sport tires (sized to correct / original AMG spec) Interior *Custom AMG-Style door cards with grey gen2 inserts into black door panels *Completely refinished all wood trim (by Madera Concepts in Goleta, CA) *Refurbished speedometer cluster with genuine gray-face AMG speedometer *Mint black crack-free dash *New headliner *New package tray / hat shelf *New Alpine head unit, new speakers Mechanical *Rebuilt transmission *Installed 2.82 rear differential *Installed OEM Tri-Y headers *Plenty of work was also done on the engine (all by Enrique at MR MB Motors) but with the fire that may or may not mean anything going forward __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ These issues will need to be addressed -- Mechanical -- New wiring harness How much of the engine is salvageable is unknown, but assume everything that bolts on will need to be replaced. It had a strong-running stock 5.0L, now would be a good time to drop in that 5.4L!! Cosmetic -- Most everything from the firewall forward, with the exception of the front bumper, AMG front spoiler and possibly the passenger side widebody fender. It will also need a new windshield. My plan was to buy a gen1 euro parts car, source most of the missing bits, and go from there. But plans have changed... Asking $10K. Reasonable offers will be considered. I am NOT looking to part the car out at this time so PLEASE do not ask. It is in storage, inside, in SoCal if you want to see it in person. However, it's not around the corner from me so I can't take pics of every nook and cranny. The car rolls and stops but doesn't run NOTE: ALL PHOTOS HERE ARE OF THE ACTUAL VEHICLE. *I have included photos of the restoration, including the interior and all the paint and bodywork. *I have included photos of after the restoration, complete interior and exterior. *I have included photos of the fire damage. The car sits as it looks in the fire damage photos, though I have removed the hood for safety. It still is minty from the firewall back The TRUE Euro VIN for this vehicle is WDB12604412000356. eBay will not accept this actual Euro-VIN so I inputted a VIN from a 1988 US-spec 560SEC to complete the listing. Please check my 100% feedback and bid with confidence. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have via eBay, email or you can call me at 818-749-7764 |

How could a lifted Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG be more awesome? Add an axle
Fri, 01 Mar 2013We are fully confident in saying that this will be the most amazing thing you see all day. First of all, it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen - in AMG spec, no less. And it's being shown off in high-definition video glory, blasting through the desert, jumping over sand dunes, and generally being awesome. But here's the kicker: It has six wheels. Three axles. And they're all driven. Holy $%!#.
Under the hood is AMG's usual 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, and total output is rated at 536 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That's impressive and all, but do keep in mind that the G63 6x6 weighs in at 8,322 pounds or, you know, the weight of two E-Class sedans. Combine that with its 18 inches of ground clearance, 37-inch tires and five locking differentials and you've got a vehicle capable of, well, everything you've ever imagined or will ever imagine for the rest of your life.
But the goodness doesn't stop once you open the doors. Oh, no. This thing is fit for a king - or a sheik, more appropriately - with ultimately luxurious seating for four. The rear bench seat has been removed in favor of two bucket seats with a fixed console in the middle, and the rear seats have been moved back beyond the usual B pillar to allow for more legroom.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale
Fri, 10 May 2013There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
