Benz 560SEC: A meticulous paint restoration was done by Advantage Auto works, in North Richland Hills, TX at a cost of $8,500. All molding taken off, clips replaced, windshields removed and reinstalled with new gaskets. All moldings and cladding blacked out. There are no dings or scratches. The car was recently wet sanded to remove any shrinkage and orange peel. AMG wheels installed along with Continental DWS tires. Driver's side bolster and center armrest were re-skinned. Installed new fog lights and used European headlamps. Replaced ignition wires, freeze plug on right side of engine and replaced engine mounts and shock. Replaced front grill. Replaced ignition cylinder and key. Replaced front brakes and calipers. Reverse flush engine and install cooler thermostat. Replaced O2 sensor, gaskets on the intake manifolds, replaced air cleaner, replaced the fuel injectors, replaced flange, air filter, guide and fuel intake hose. Replaced incorrect fuel pump relay and ECU. Replaced fuel accumulator and temperature sensor. Replaced valve stem seals. Replaced front control arms and 2 front tires in January 2013, as the tires were cupped do to the worn suspension parts. The suspension has been lowered with H&R springs and new Bilstein struts. The front end was entirely re-bushed and the left front tie rod end was replaced along with the lower control arms. The transmission was rebuilt within the last 3 months. While the car shows very well, there is a small blister on the right rear quarter panel, just above the wheel well. The recommended fix is to cut out the metal 2” around the blister and weld in new metal. I will have the repair done if the buyer meets the Buy-it Now price. $25,000 invested after the car was purchased. This 2 owner, low mileage, meticulous restoration is a rare example of an extraordinary vehicle. The car was hand built and was Mercedes flag ship in 1991. It sold new for $84,000. This was the last year of production of the 560SEC and benefited from upgrades based on production and warrantee experience. For someone who knows these cars, values the workmanship and what has been done, this is a great value. Zims Autotecnik in Bedford, TX and Park Place Mercedes in Grapevine, TX performed the mechanical work done in Texas. I have all receipts for work that I had performed and I can send a spreadsheet of the expenses I have incurred since I have owned the car. While I have confidence in the car and the work performed, I urge an independent inspection be done on the car, which is a prudent practice prior to purchasing any vehicle. I have taken much satisfaction in bringing the car back to its original glory and driving has it been a pleasure. I have moved on to other projects and can only park 4 cars under cover. Having more than 4 classic cars would stress my wife in the extreme. My wife is a keeper, so the car is being placed on eBay.

Mercedes considering GLA-based crossover coupe
Wed, 30 Apr 2014BMW opened a whole Pandora's Box when it introduced the X6 back in 2008. Sure it made little sense, sacrificing all that "utility" for a little more "sport," but it's been a solid success for BMW - especially considering the nominal expense it cost to develop the X6 on top of the X5 on which it's based. Little wonder that, while BMW has already followed up with a smaller version in the form of the X4, other automakers are starting to catch up. And that includes Mercedes-Benz.
The German automaker is preparing to launch a new MLC, based on the M-Class but with a sportier silhouette, and previewed it with the Concept Coupe SUV at the Beijing Motor Show. But that's just the start, according to the latest report from Automotive News Europe.
Mercedes is reportedly considering spinning off an entire line of crossovers more for use on the road than off it. Which may go without saying for most crossovers on the market, but considering the Geländwagen with which Mercedes got its start in SUVs, would mean an even further departure than it has undertaken already.
Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA gets official ahead of Shanghai
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz has something special planned for the Shanghai Motor Show - a new CUV concept that we first saw when it leaked on the internet yesterday. The GLA Concept compact crossover will hit the show stand with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque mated to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive, and likely previews a new production model that we've already spotted testing.
That's not news, but the laser-based headlamps with video-projecting capability certainly are. Mercedes-Benz says the array can project any image or video onto a screen, which is handy since there are a pair of HD cameras mounted to the roof rack. The cameras can be removed and taken with you on all sorts of adventures. The lamps also feature a visible cooling system comprised of a series of fans, and the system helps give the headlights their "sparkle" effect.
Step indoors and the GLA offers up the interior of a high-quality crossover, complete with contrasting leather and plenty of aluminum. The automaker says the cabin was inspired by saddle craftsmanship with "more than 65 feet of hand-stitched seams to hold the raw edges of the leather together."
Mercedes Sprinter updated to take on Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster
Mon, 29 Apr 2013By the end of this year, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be the second-oldest nameplate in its segment here in the States, but with hot new competition waiting in the wings, Mercedes-Benz is giving its hauler a freshened look and more equipment to stave off rivals. The Sprinter was a pioneer in bringing Euro-style delivery vans to North America, and it's inspired others to transplant their Continental offerings, with the all-new Ford Transit and Ram Promaster models launching shortly. It will also continue to do battle with lower-cost traditional competitors like the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-Series.
The big Sprinter will thus get a new look to go with more safety features and available technology. While the information released here technically covers the Euro-spec 2013 Sprinter (which goes on sale in September), the US market is expected to get the new Sprinter for the 2014 model year with many of the same features. Some of this new technology includes a Crosswind Assist feature as standard equipment and the availability of Collision Prevention Assist and Blind Spot Assist as optional safety measures - Mercedes-Benz says that all three are firsts for any van in the world. Also added to the updated Sprinter is a new 1.8-liter supercharged gasoline (or CNG) engine producing 156 horsepower, which will complement the line of diesel engines that carry over and help make the Sprinter the first cargo van to meet the upcoming Euro VI emissions standards. Additionally, a lower ride height is said to improve fuel economy and should improve handling while aiding ingress and egress for both people and cargo.
In terms of styling, the Sprinter's new face also looks more like the current line of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. This includes a more upright grille along with changes to the hood, headlights and bumper that lend it a closer kinship to models like the CLS-Class and the updated E-Class. The Sprinter will offer both halogen and HID headlights, while the latter will get LED running lamps and offer Highbeam Assist. The images shown here only reveal the exterior from front angles, but it looks like few, if any, changes have been made to the rear of the van. Interior upgrades include a thicker steering wheel, a new shift lever and the latest in audio, navigation and entertainment systems.
