1978 Vintage Classic Mercedes Benz 450slc - One Owner Fixed Top Coupe on 2040-cars
South Easton, Massachusetts, United States
|
For Sale is a beautiful specimen of the craftsmanship of Mercedes Benz. 1978 Mercedes Benz 450SLC purchased from the original owner who bought the car in a New Jersey Showroom 35 years ago and has pampered the car ever since. The car has been dealer maintained since new, drives like a rocket ship with acceleration you wouldn't believe and the overall ride is so smooth you feel like you are floating along. This ride is extremely tight, controlled and better than today's standards. The 450SLC has the original and working Becker-Mexico Stereo Cassette with factory speakers all around, a Manual control switch that actually works the Antenna, sunroof with visor shield on roof, rear defrost, the newer and improved climate control system for this model, all the original carpets in excellent condition along with the headliner that does not have one blemish. This car even has the original first aid kit in the back where it belongs. All door skins and interior are original and in excellent condition. Sitting in this car is like sitting in a time machine. I just spent $450 on replacing the fuel pump. All the brakes are new all around. New tires. Original Sekurt glass with perfect seals. Trunk has full size spare and carpet is in beautiful condition with NO moisture as car was always garaged. Engine runs with a newer Bosch battery and is extremely powerful and has tremendous "get up and go" acceleration. Transmission is smooth like silk. Sometimes you can't even hear or feel the transition into the next gear. Suspension is dreamy. Undercarriage is flawless and looks almost new. The only thing that needs mentioning is the exterior paint has suffered from some fade and only two small spots of surface-only rust exist. Car really only needs a respray or can be driven as is depending on buyer's discretion. Otherwise, car needs nothing other than a driver. YOu will be amazed at the handling and ride this model offers. With back seat to fit two adults or 3 small kids, you are getting the same body style and handling as the SL but with a fixed top but put the sunroof open and you are back in business. ALl wood and dash are in excellent condition. All gauges and lights work beautifully even the entrance lights go on for safety. Windshield washers still spray the window with cleaner fluid as they should. This car is in fascinating condition for its age and the fact that its only had one owner is probably the reason why. Anything the car ever needed was done. Very low miles for a 35 year old car. Clear and clean title in hand. Need to see and drive to believe. Thank you for your interest and please email with any questions. jeff |

2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.
Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
New Mercedes Unimog debuts to the cheers of little boys everywhere [w/video]
Sat, 27 Apr 2013The Mercedes Unimog, the superhero villain of the off-road world that's just waiting to make the jump to Transformer, has been completely upgraded for its new generation. There are ten models, expanding the range and getting new designations across the traditional all-terrain series and the implement-carrier series. Panoramic cabins get more visibility, multifunction steering wheels and better dash clusters, improved HVAC and a three-mode central tire inflation system. Outside, there are new items like LED headlights and daytime running lamps in the bumper, roof-mounted windshield wipers and a front-camera monitor for the implement carrier.
The new engine lineup is compliant with Euro VI, featuring four- and six-cylinder BlueEfficiency engines putting out anywhere from 156 horsepower to 354 hp. Powerplant placement has also been tweaked, the chassis members getting a revised curve to place the engine a bit further back and lower, maintaining off-road clearance and lowering the Unimog's center of gravity. The new location of the engine means the cabin has more room, and the wheelbase is shorter. Combined with a higher turning angle, the Unimog has a smaller turning radius than before.
The implement carrier gets what's called a "synergistic traveling drive," the bonus being that drivers don't need to stop in order to use an attachment - a hydrostatic transmission works with the regular manual transmission at up to 31 kilometers per hour for seamless switching.
