1967 Mercedes Benz 250SL Beautiful Survivor/Driver Level I purchased this 250sl out of long term ownership. The previous owner had the SL in New Mexico before moving to Illinois. This SL was driven regularly by the previous owner and was lovingly cared for and maintained. When I drove it this past weekend, it literally stopped traffic. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of camera phone pics, waves, questions and attention this SL demanded. It's a testament to the presence of this 250sl! This SL is absolutely striking in it's original Color Combination of 568H Signal Red over Black MB Tex and Black Softtop The paint is approximately 10-15 years old. It was a high quality repaint that has withstood the test of time. It polishes nicely and looks amazing! Of course, upon close-up inspection there may be some minor imperfections; however, you can enter this 250sl into any local show without hesitation. I tried to take photos of any issues with the paint and undercarriage. You can see the undercarriage could use a few small patches. Overall, considering how nicely the paint presents after 10-15 years of service, it is apparent that this SL has been lovingly garaged and maintained. Spot welds present on passenger fender and both "weep" lines or notches present at the headlight bezels. The correct M129 Engine, appears to be a factory replacement block, starts right up, Transmission Shifts Smoothly, Drives Smooth and Straight. The muffler should be replaced. I would also suggest a tune-up and fluid/filter service. The Interior color combination is stunning! The Black MBTex is an elegant contrast to the Signal Red Body and Dashboard. The Dash Chrome and Interior Wood present well. And the original Becker radio works. The Interior is is serviceable as-is...my only recommendation, and a personal preference, would be to add a set of black/red CoCo mats to give the interior that finished look. Original Jack, Lug Wrench and 14" Spare Tire. All Rims are Factory Correct 14" Rims. Glass is all in great condition and the chrome and stainless trim present well! I drove this SL this past weekend for several hours without issue. Candidly, I have not even detailed this SL. It really presents well and, after a professional detail, should look stunning! **I reserve the right to end auction early.

Mercedes FWD platform to last until 2018, convertible and two-seater future uncertain
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz seems to be expecting a lot of success from its front-wheel-drive CLA-Class. Automotive News is reporting that the sub-C-Class sedan could grow when its second generation arrives in 2018.
The current FWD platform for MB underpins the CLA, the B-Class, the GLA-Class, and the A-Class. The B-Class will arrive in North America as an EV for spring of 2014, while the production GLA crossover will arrive three to four months after that. The five-door A-Class won't be crossing The Pond. Sad faces all around.
According to AN, another model will be based on the front-drive architecture, but it won't be coming to the US market. Set to arrive next year, rumors are that it'll be a wagon version of the CLA, sort of like the ill-named five-door CLS Shooting Brake that is also a Europe-only item.
SRT Viper dukes it out with Mercedes SLS Black Series in new Head 2 Head
Fri, 05 Jul 2013In Episode 36 of Motor Trend's Head 2 Head, now that the Corvette ZR1 is no more, Jonny Lieberman has to look overseas to the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series for a challenger with similar philosophy to the SRT Viper: long hood hiding a high-horsepower engine set way back, rear-wheel drive, tiny trunks. That puts the Viper's 8.4-liter V10 with 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque against the SLS AMG's 6.2-liter V8 with 622 hp and 468 lb-ft.
However, the congruences in philosophy and magnitude of numbers doesn't translate to the driving experiences of the two, which are literally and figuratively on different continents. Lieberman gets a handle on the two of them on Northern California roads, Randy Probst then finds out how, and how quickly, they can lap Laguna Seca.
They both get kudos for being improvements on their original sources, but only one of them can take the win. You can find out by watching the video below.
Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader
Mon, 25 Mar 2013In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.
