The engine was rebuilt using all new parts and is in perfect running

seats, valves and all new gaskets. The machining work was done by a highly
respected expert regarding vintage engines. All the engine parts were
cleaned and painted or anodized as per original. All engine assembly was
done at SL Barn either by me or under my close supervision. The careful
driving with no incidents or problems.
The fuel injection pump was also rebuilt and new fuel injectors were
installed. All aspects of the fuel injection system were replaced or rebuilt
as required for optimal running.
The transmission is a fully synchronized four speed gear box which was also
rebuilt. We used all new bearings and seals throughout the box and it
operates quietly and shifts effortlessly. We also installed a new clutch and
pressure plate as well as a new master and slave cylinder.
The tires and running gear are in good condition and the car is free of
vibrations, rattles or squeaks. The brakes were inspected as well as the
exhaust system and all are in good condition. The hand brake operates
properly and releases fully.
The trunk is clean with original rubber floor mat. The spare tire is correct
and has the original tire cover as well as the original tool kit installed.
The tail lights are the original all red units. The chrome around the
outside of the tail lights shows some pitting which is consistent with the
age of the car.
Driving impressions:
The engine starts easily and comes to a fast idle as required. As the engine
warms the idle speed lowers and comes to a steady idle. The engine runs
smoothly and has no leaks or unusual noises. The engine bay is nicely
detailed and correct for this year of car. All components show well.
The clutch works smoothly without and jerking upon release. The transmission
shifts smoothly from one gear to the next, either up or down shifting. The
steering runs straight and true without any wandering to either side. The
brakes pull the car down quickly without fading or pulling to either side.
The power steering is smooth and operates quietly.
All gages read normally while driving at full oil pressure and 180 degrees F
on the temperature gage. Signals work properly, high beam and fuel gage
works as required. Speedometer, odometer and tachometer all function
normally. Heater levers are free and the heater blower motor is working. The
heater gives adequate heat and shuts off fully for summer driving.
All in all, a very pleasant car to drive.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon is one hot hauler [w/video]
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Mentioned at the debut of the redesigned Mercedes-Benz E-Class back in January, Mercedes has finally pulled back the curtain on the E63 AMG S, which was on display at the New York Auto Show in wagon guise. The 2014 E63 AMG S ups the ante even more from a "base" E63 AMG, improving the car's performance and styling - not that it needed help with either to begin with.
Our favorite S-model upgrade is the added output tweaked out of the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, which represents a substantial gain of 27 hp and 59 lb-ft of torque over the stock E63. In wagon form, the E63 AMG S can run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. All 2014 E63 AMGs come with Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, but the S-Model adds in a limited-slip rear differential for improved performance.
Mercedes has made sure that the extra money being spent on the S-Model is instantly noticeable with slightly different design cues and black along with 10-spoke wheels with red brake calipers peeking through. Plenty of silver-chrome and high-gloss black accents finish off the exterior styling, while the interior adds Alcantara on the steering wheel, accent stitching on the leather and contrasting silver seat belts on models with the black interior. Scroll down for an official video and press release.
Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.
2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec gets 33 mpg, priced from $38,950*
Tue, 30 Apr 2013It's been more than a year since we first saw the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, but it looks like the compact diesel crossover is finally starting to roll into dealerships. Those wanting to buy a diesel GLK will only have to pony up an extra $1,500 over a base, gas-powered GLK350, as the GLK250's starting price is listed at $38,590 (*not including $905 destination charge).
The turbocharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel produces 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and Mercedes-Benz has also provided some fuel economy numbers for this model, with claimed EPA estimates of 24 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway. There is no listing for the GLK250 on the EPA's website yet, but the figures represent significant increase over the GLK350's lackluster 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway figures, which are for the rear-wheel drive model. The GLK250 comes standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system - a $2,000 option on GLK350 - meaning that if you want an all-wheel-drive version of the 2013 GLK, it's actually cheaper to opt for the diesel model. Head over to the Mercedes-Benz site for the full 2013 GLK-Class configurator.
