1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL Fire Engine Red on Black Leather Call Justin with Questions 503-969-5127 Hello all, and welcome to my auction. I have had some problems lately with eBay sales where the winning bidder simply dissapears after winning the auction. The only thing I can ask is that you please bid only when you really wish to purchase. If you have questions or reservations please call or write to me so we can try to resolve them before bidding. Think about shipping and taxes that may be applicable in your state. I charge NO ADDITIONAL FEES, but it will cost you to register the car in your state. This is a NO RESERVE auction. The last bidder will own the car. So if you bid and nobody bids after you.. You win:) I have a really nice and well preserved 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL for sale. This is the convertible model and comes with both the hard and soft tops. This is a really striking color combination for Mercedes. The red is very vibrant and looks fantastic against the black of the leather interior. The paint is good with very few chips or marks. It is a re-spray but I would consider it to be above average work. There are no waves or areas of filler that I can detect. The chrome bumpers are straight as is the chrome on the other areas of the Mercedes. The windshield is in good condition with no pitting or cracking. The soft-top is in good condition too. I doubt it was ever used much. It took two of us to stretch in into place after being folded in the boot for who knows how long. The plastic rear windows are still soft and pliable with no hazy or milky discoloration and the canvas fabric show very little wear. The edges of the top were still rolled up a bit for the photos, but I am confident they will relax with an afternoon in the sun. The factory alloys are nice and the tires are above 80% tread. This Mercedes is a US Spec vehicle but the lights were upgraded to the European Style headlight lenses. I really like the look and think it really sets this car apart from the pack. The interior is very nice and clean too. The seats are soft and the leather is issue free. The actually look new to me. My guess is they were re-upholstered in the last few years. They are very close to mint condition. The carpet, while original is very nice too. No matting or wearing or problems whatsoever. The dash is nice too. It has a cloth cover over it for protection. Other than the Velcro tabs used to hold the cover in place, it is clean and crack free. All of the gages work properly as do the lights and blinkers and wipers. I take that back.. I did notice that the light inside the glovebox was kinda hanging there and may need to be fiddled with.. Other than that though it’s all good electrically. The A/C is not blowing cold for one reason or another.. All of the equipment is there and the belt too so hopefully it’s not too sinister. The Mercedes runs and drives great. It starts up easily with no hesitation and does not smoke at all. It does not drip or leak oil either. The engine has excellent power and the transmission shits properly between all of the gears. The SL drives straight down the road with no pulling or wandering. The wheels don’t vibrate at speed and there is no play in the wheel. The brakes stop straight and true and the pedal is solid underfoot. This is a really nice Mercedes considering its age. It is almost 35 years old! It’s nice, but it’s not perfect. I can describe it to the finest detail if you want to call me.. I just can’t write it all in an ad. Please ask questions if you have them I don’t want there to be any differences between the car and your expectations. I looked hard and could not find any rust anywhere. The floors are solid and original. This Mercedes-Benz has all of the vintage appeal and legendary reliability that collectors want and it is not going to break anybody’s pocketbook either. Again, there is NO RESERVE and I am opening the bidding up at a penny! I know the SL will sell as long as we all play by these rules. #1. Only bid if you have intentions to buy. #2. Ask any and all questions before bidding. #3. Please contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback. #4. This is an AS-IS sale. I have done my best to describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees except a clean and clear legal title after payment. #5. I will not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the Mercedes. Pay-Pal for deposit only, the balance must be paid by certified check or wire. Legitimate and legal buyers only please. Just be real and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or her purchase. Someone is going to get a great car for a great price. Because of the trouble I have had with non payments I am ready to roll the dice and hope for the best with out a safty net. Please ebayers.. Don't let me down. I also have 100% positive feedback and I plan on keeping that. I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the last second and worry about missing out. Just call me and we will work out a fair price.. I’m Justin my Phone number is 503-969-5127

Aston or Bust? Maybach's fate to be decided next month
Mon, 13 Jun 20112011 Maybach 62 - Click above for high-res image gallery
What will become of Maybach? That question has been rattling around the halls of Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart for some time now. But all questions will be answered, and answered soon: according to reports, the German automaker is currently evaluating prototypes and propositions for its top-end marque, and will make its decision next month.
So, what are the options? On the one hand, Daimler could kill the Maybach brand altogether. It was a notion ill conceived and even more poorly executed, taking an old platform and building a new flagship atop it. In that way, it was sort of like the Chrysler Crossfire, only far more costly to both the buyer and manufacturer. On the other hand, Daimler could opt for the long-time-coming proposition of contracting the production (and possibly much of the development) of a new generation of Maybachs to Aston Martin.
First official shot of Mercedes S-Class Coupe leaks out
Mon, 10 Feb 2014With the official debut for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe expected tomorrow, it shouldn't be a surprise that some clicky fingers have already managed to uncover an official image of the car before the unveiling. Outside of this sole image, though, there's precious little detail on the new car.
First posted by Autofilou and then picked up by WorldCarFans, the production S-Class Coupe isn't far off from the concept car we saw a few months back in Frankfurt. Like the concept, the leggy production model appears related, albeit distantly, to the S-Class Sedan. The hood and front fascia are longer and lower, befitting of a two-door, while the character lines in the profile are more pronounced. Obviously, the beltline and slim, B-pillarless greenhouse are coupe-only items. We can't see any details on the back of the car, although it does appear that the long hood has a correspondingly short rear deck.
We'll have all the details on the official replacement for the CL-Class when it makes its full debut tomorrow. Until then, what do you think of this lone image? Does it appear that Mercedes has got it right? In terms of design, where would you rank this with the departing CL-Class? Have your say in Comments.
Mercedes-Benz GLK coupe to get 2016 intro
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Radio chatter around the emerging small, premium crossover coupe genre has thus far been dominated by the Land Rover Evoque and the Mini Paceman. According to a report in Car, the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class (shown above) has received its invitation to the party and will spend the next three years getting ready: it's said that two-door variant of the crisply-angled CUV is coming in 2016, along with a redesign befitting its sleeker intentions.
To be based on the MRA platform - the rear-drive version of the company's three new modular platforms, it will also support the coming 2013 S-Class and could eventually get an AMG version to help it compete with segment offerings like the forthcoming Porsche Macan. Not much else is known about it beyond its name: Car says it will be called the GLC, a friendly nomenclature we remember best as a Mazda hatchback (allegedly for "Good Little Car"). Internet oldtimers may remember the Mazda GLC as the predecessor to the 323 (which in turn came before today's Mazda3). Either way, the GLC is not to be confused with the larger upcoming BMW X6 rival based on the ML-Class (reportedly called GLS) which is also said to still be in the works, or the front-drive based GLA, a model also edging toward production.
