Officially regarded as the fastest of the R107 SLs the 500SL packed a 5.0-liter V8 with big horsepower and torque and a notable lack of emissions gear that strangled everything else of the era. This 1983 example sports the highly desirable Euro headlights and bumpers creating what might very well be the most sought-after R107 of all. While most American SLs struggled with an anemic 3.8 liter engine the rest of the world was treated to the mighty 500SL and now that they've become collectors' items finding one is a real challenge. This is a highly original and beautifully preserved original car finished in Gray which gives it a very no-nonsense look. Fit and finish are legendary and while there are rumors that Mercedes added extra weight to the doors to give them that characteristic feel the truth is that these cars were simply grossly over-engineered. Tight gaps perfect panel alignment and paint that definitely showed off a massive price tag were all standard equipment. And thanks to the Euro bumpers and headlights this one has a very distinctive look here in the US that will definitely stand out from the more clumsy-looking domestic models. Looks cool doesn't it? Inside it's the same comfortable spacious and well-planned interior that was standard on all SLs. MB-Tex vinyl on the seats means that they'll look great practically forever and thanks to great care and a lifetime out of the sun everything remains in great shape. That's real wood on the center console and dash and the gauges offer a no-nonsense way to keep an eye on the engine. Everything was standard equipment in 1983 including automatic climate control power windows and locks. All SLs included two tops with this one wearing a black canvas convertible top as well as a matching hardtop. With more than $4000+ in recent service (receipts included) this SL is definitely ready to rock. A 4-speed automatic transmission was standard equipment giving it impressive acceleration yet a lazy relaxed feeling on the highway which enables it to swallow hundreds of miles of pavement at a stretch. The suspension offers the ideal mixture of comfort and handling nicely.

Accessories included: two euro license places for front, original gas cap, extra fuses, and extra interior lights.

If you're looking for a clean SL this is a good one. But if you're looking for a rare fast well maintained 500SL this is a GREAT one!

Minor imperfections: some rust in trunk, minor scratches in paint, crack in front bumper (no damage to anything behind it).

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

It'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.

Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

In 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.
