1985 Mercedes Benz SL380 Convertible with Soft top and Hard Top.

I bought this fantastic car for my wife to drive but she prefers the new car.
I just had it painted with Automotive Collision in Philadelphia at a cost of $8,500.
No evidence of rust was found on the car nor did it look like it was ever in a wreck, In fact the body was very straight,
only the clear of the original paint had faded from age.
They did a great job the car presents itself extremely well.  No orange peel, and very very glossy paint.
The interior is Original , detailed and shows very well, a couple of cracks on the driver seat were repaired.
The Soft top is very nice installed by the PO, two years ago. (He paid $1500)
The motor was just serviced, new oils filters etc. ($450)
The Brakes are new all around,  ($850)
The exhaust is new from headers back.  ($525)
Everything works on this car as it should including the Air Conditioning, except the odometer which is inoperable.
The car drives like a low mile car; the suspension is extremely tight, it does not shake or rattle even going through pot holes, it is truly a great driver.
You don't come around a great looking, and driving old Classic like this often.
No room in the garage so it must go.

Anyone interested please email with your phone number to make an appointment to look at the car.
I have a day job so please be patient.

The car starts right up all the time every time.  It idles smooth and at 650 rpm all the time. It sounds fantastic; and is a absolute joy to drive. The fantastic V8 in this car makes it surprisingly fast and agile!! Solid, confident, and gorgeous. This SL is a sporty classic that can be driven every day in comfort and Style.

This car is a people magnet. Everywhere you go, people will comment on the car. Male, female, young and old--Everyone loves it!!

2017 Aston Marin Lagonda could live on Mercedes M-Class platform

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

A few weeks ago, we brought you news from the launch of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante that the British brand, which is formally known as Aston Martin Lagonda, was still planning on going ahead with a Lagonda-badged crossover. Now comes word that that vehicle could very well be based on a Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
When the first Lagonda Concept debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, it sat on a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class platform, some four years before Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG deal was inked. And with that partnership, which will see Aston Martin gain access to AMG electrics and "bespoke, V8 powertrains," the opportunities for platform sharing are many.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, the boss of Aston Martin, told the UK's AutoCar, "I look at what Porsche is doing with the 911 as its core business and then it is able to do models like the Cayenne based on the Volkswagen Touareg. It is good business." We've said many times that we'll tolerate exotic CUVs and SUVs if it means keeping the beloved core models alive, which has been the case with Porsche. We see no reason Aston Martin wouldn't be able to do the same.

13-year-old boy swipes dad's Mercedes, drives across Europe

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

After an argument with his adoptive parents that resulted in them taking away his mobile phone, an angry 13-year-old boy ran away from his home in Italy and headed straight to Poland to meet his biological sister. But instead of taking the train or hitching a ride, like most on the run, the young man (an accomplished go-kart racer and car enthusiast) grabbed the keys to his father's Mercedes-Benz and jumped behind the wheel for an impromptu road trip.
With less than 200 euros (about $270) in his wallet and a passport in his pocket, the youngster managed to put more than 500 miles between himself and his distraught parents, crossing two international borders in the process, before German police nabbed him just shy of the Polish border. According to reports, the vehicle was tracked - it wasn't his driving that alerted authorities to his location.
Reunited with his mother and father, who traveled to Germany to retrieve both their son and the vehicle, the young man apologized and acknowledged his error. As a result of his actions, social workers will increase checks on the family and we can be sure his parents are now hiding the keys.

How could a lifted Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG be more awesome? Add an axle

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

We are fully confident in saying that this will be the most amazing thing you see all day. First of all, it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen - in AMG spec, no less. And it's being shown off in high-definition video glory, blasting through the desert, jumping over sand dunes, and generally being awesome. But here's the kicker: It has six wheels. Three axles. And they're all driven. Holy $%!#.
Under the hood is AMG's usual 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, and total output is rated at 536 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That's impressive and all, but do keep in mind that the G63 6x6 weighs in at 8,322 pounds or, you know, the weight of two E-Class sedans. Combine that with its 18 inches of ground clearance, 37-inch tires and five locking differentials and you've got a vehicle capable of, well, everything you've ever imagined or will ever imagine for the rest of your life.
But the goodness doesn't stop once you open the doors. Oh, no. This thing is fit for a king - or a sheik, more appropriately - with ultimately luxurious seating for four. The rear bench seat has been removed in favor of two bucket seats with a fixed console in the middle, and the rear seats have been moved back beyond the usual B pillar to allow for more legroom.
