Up for sale is my 1969 Mercedes Benz 280SL Pagoda Roadster which needs finishing and reassembly. Previous owner had the car since 2008 and had been working on it and then lost interest. He purchased many new parts such as new canvas top, all seals, rechromed light bezels, brand new interior mahogany wood set which he said cost more than $1000, new rubber mats for interior of trunk and car, new exhaust system still in the box, and many miscellaneous pieces which carry the Mercedes Benz tag. All parts appear to be present: all dash gauges, radio, speedometer, tachometer, rectangular gauge, clock which previous owner says works, glove box door, all dash vent pieces and knobs and interior/exterior chrome pieces and latches, bumpers, door handles, door regulators and door parts, front grill, Bosch horns, air cleaner, new engine insulation kit and the list goes on. The car also has an under dash air conditioning system present. It has all pieces except the compressor. There is no windshield with the car. Also present are a pair of Euro headlights which go with the car.
THERE ARE 2 ENGINES WHICH GO WITH THE CAR!! The original was disassembled and sent to the machine shop. It has been machined and the engine parts were degreased. All engine parts are present. You will see the engine in the pictures. It is complete and has the Bosch mechanical fuel injection. The other engine is a 280SL engine which came out of a running car. It is totally ASSEMBLED. It has the Bosch mechanical fuel injection on the engine. Again, the car comes with 2 engines! There are also 2 Bosch distributors which are present. The transmission and torque converter are present. Previous owner said transmission shifted well.
The car was sent to the body shop and had new floors and trunk pan welded in. The metal work that was done on the car was done very well, high quality. After the body work was done the car was then painted 1969 Mercedes Benz Silver. This is the silver that Mercedes used in 1969 on the 280SL. All panels look good, doors close well with even gap, hood fits well and trunk lid and convertible top lid fit well. The paint work looks good on the car. The work that was done on the welded-in panels looks good. Frame is super solid and clean.
Underneath the car was cleaned. New shocks were installed and the wheels were media blasted and then powder coated black. New tires were installed.
This is a re-assembly project! The car rolls and can be loaded up on a trailer. All parts can be boxed and placed inside of car. This will make a beautiful car when it is done!

Mercedes-Benz intros long-wheelbase E-Class for China
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Long-wheelbase sedans are a pretty hot commodity in China, and to keep up with the competition, Mercedes-Benz has introduced an extended version of the 2014 E-Class sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show. Audi, BMW, Volvo and even Cadillac offer extended versions of sedans specific to the Chinese market, and now the E-Class L, shown off in E400L guise, will give luxury sedan buyers in China yet another option.
Compared to the standard 2014 E-Class sedan, the new China-spec E-Class L has been stretched by 5.5 inches - all of which goes to the rear-seat passengers. According to an article on China View from earlier in the year, the market for chauffeur-driven cars is growing in the Asian nation, so automakers need long-wheelbase models like the E-Class L in order to fully compete. As for what powers this stretched E-Class, it's available in three models: the diesel E260L, the V6-powered E300L and the E400 Hybrid.
The redesigned E-Class and the all-new A-Class are just the first of 20 new Mercedes-Benz products that will be introduced into the Chinese auto market by 2015. Scroll down for the full press release on long-wheelbase E.
Mercedes AMG and Cigarette Racing debut 2,220-HP electric motor boat
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell, stretch it and take off the wheels then make it float and you've basically got the just-unveiled Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept. Powered by an all-electric powertrain that offers 2,200 horsepower and 2,213 pound-feet of torque (and uses "numerous components" taken from the not-quite-as-yellow SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive), the sleek concept is being called the "world's most powerful electric drive powerboat." What that means is a top speed of over 100 miles per hour from four 60-kWh lithium-ion batteries and two banks of six liquid-cooled, permanent-magnet synchronous electric motors. And the 240 kWh of total energy should provide plenty of juice out on the water.
Launched (but not literally) at the Miami International Boat Show today, the Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept is the result of a partnership between Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing. The boat is 38 feet long (much longer than the 15-foot SLS) and is plastered with AMG branding on the sides and top of the bow above the matte chrome yellow paint (officially called AMG Electricbeam mango). Two 220-kW chargers can refill the batteries, dockside, in about seven hours.
The idea of a powerful electric boat is nothing new (Henrik Fisker talked about a plug-in hybrid watercraft late last year), but this is the first time we've seen Mercedes put its EV technology on the water. Anyone who's afraid of driving an EV in the rain should take note. Check out the complete press release below.
