I'm selling my 1982 Mercedes Convertible. I drive this car to work almost every day and obviously on the weekends for some fun time. I get a lot of looks and an occasiional "Thumbs up" as I am driving. It has front and rear disc brakes, power steering, and power windows. It does have automatic climate control with air condition but the a/c does not work. I never really found the need, I mean really, its a convertible. It also has cruise control.
I've listed below all the mechanical repairs done over the last 2,000 miles.
The transmission was rebuilt. Has a new timing chain,head gaskets and valve cover gaskets. A new water pump, new drive belts, and a new fuel pump. It has new spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap & ignition rotor, and a new air filter. Several of the metal fuel lines were replaced. It has new rear brake pads & rotors, new front brake pads, and a new master cylinder. The catalytic converter and mufflers were replaced. It has 4 "H" rated Firestone tires with only 2,000 miles on them, It has new rear KYB shocks and a new steering stabilizer shock.
As you can see, there isnt much it needs mechanically. The fuel gueage works well until you are below 1/2 a tank. then it acts irratically at times. The power antenna does not retract. As I mentioned earlier, the A/C does not work. It has an am/fm/cd player but its not hooked up.
The body is in decent condition.Has a few scratches and an occasional blister of paint. There is some rust on the rockers. I cant do body work very well. On a car like this, I would leave that to the professionals, and thats why I stopped. I simply don't have the time anymore and I think ist time to move onto one of my other projects.
Thanks for checking it out

Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG spied in Sweden
Wed, 16 Jan 2013We've spotted the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLA testing a couple times in recent months in getting closer to production form and shedding camouflage, but now it looks like we're see our first look at the AMG version of this compact crossover. The low ride height might trick some into thinking that we're just seeing the already-confirmed A45 AMG out testing, but the unique beltline, rear doors and side windows confirm this is some version of the GLA-Class.
What makes us so confident that this is the AMG model? Well, for starters, this prototype has beefier brakes with cross-drilled front and rear rotors and bigger front calipers, but it also sports dual exhaust outlets poking through the rear fascia and a suspension that has been lowered considerably. Our spy shooters said that this car's exhaust note made it almost certainly an AMG model.
Just to be clear, the GLA AMG will not be powered by a 4.5-liter engine. The closely related A45 AMG will carry the "45" in its name to celebrate the first 45 years of AMG, and our sources seem to indicate the AMG version of the GLA will do the same. We're expecting this sporty crossover to produce as much as 350 horsepower from its AMG-tuned four-cylinder engine, and like the all-new E63 AMG, it could very well come standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive.
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.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale
Fri, 10 May 2013There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.
