1985 Mercedes Benz 380 Sl Roadster Project Or Parts on 2040-cars
Sanford, Maine, United States
|
SELLING AT NO RESERVE Up for auction is this 1985 Mercedes Benz 380 SL roadster. This is the last year of the 380 model. V-8 auto loaded. Teal in color with a cream colored leather interior. This car belonged to a friend of mine who had owned it for the past 15 years. It has been in his barn , off the road since 08. He had planned on doing a restoration on the car but with so many other irons in the fire he decided to let it go. Any work that he would have had done on it would have had to be farmed out and he just didnt have the patience for it. As you see in the pics some of the left side fender parts were removed and he actually had removed the front fender. There was some rust around the bolt holes, so he pried it off . Realizing this wasn't for him he stopped working on it and left it to sit. I pulled the car out of storage , got the dust off and put in a fresh battery . The car fired right up. A lot off sunflower seeds came shooting out of the exhaust so i guess the critters made a home. Motor runs really nice , trans goes into gear fine and I yard drove the car. One brake line has been leaking but where it is a dual master car it still stops. You do get a little puff of smoke on the initial start . I would say the valve seals are probably getting tired. I asked mike how the car ran and drove when he put it up and he said it performed beautifully. He said that he went on a vacation to the blue ridge mountains in Virginia just before the car was stored . He had some service work just before the trip. Had double roller timeing chain conversion done , tune up and general going over. The car does have rust issues . Both front fenders need replacement , some rust spots on fronts of lower rear quarters, a portion of the front rocker panel drivers side where the fender bolts down low and the trunk lid. We have 2 new front fenders and 2 lower quarter patch panels that will be included with the sale. He paid $750 for those parts alone. All parts that were removed will be included. car has both hard top and soft top. Soft top is black. Battery will not be included as it does not fit the holder properly . Everything still works on the car. I feel the car is fixable depending on how nice you want to make it or would be an excellant parts candidate.We have a Maine registration and proper dealer transfer paper work for a smooth transaction.PLEASE BID ONLY IF YOU INTEND TO FOLLOW THRU WITH THE SALE.

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.
Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies
Fri, 13 Dec 2013It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.
Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)
