Up for grabs here is an original, very limited production 1955 MERCEDES BENZ 170 S-V-D DIESEL Pickup truck. Fewer than 80 of these trucks were built and of that 80 only 3 are left known to exist worldwide. While this pickup would be a relatively easy restoration it would make an awesome Resto-Rod. I have owned this little gem for over 30 years and was driving it up to 1989 at which time I had the output shaft bearing in the transmission blow apart taking with it the rear transmission cover. It took me a couple years to cross reference that cover to find that they used the transmissions from a 300 Diplomat in these trucks and while I eventually did get a replacement cover I never got around to restoring the truck as intended. The truck has been kept in inside storage ALL the time since it was disabled. The only parts missing from this pickup are the front bumper and rear bumperette's, the clock and the floor mat. The truck is otherwise complete and original right down to the semiphore's which incidentally are in perfect condition. I have over the years collected up most all the parts for a complete engine rebuild including new Mahle pistons, Gelco main and rod bearings, a complete gasket set, new outside door handles w/key, new horn ring, new axel boots and on and on. The engine is an OM 636 Diesel attached to a four speed manual column shift which is one of the easiest and smoothest shifting manual transmissions built in that era. As this truck was first shipped to a Mercedes dealer in Australia to be used as a parts delivery truck it sports right hand steering. Truck shows no obvious cancer issues floors are solid as are the floors in both battery boxes ( takes two 6 volt batteries ) and while the driver door does have to be lifted slightly to latch, the passenger door shuts perfectly as would be expected of a new truck. I have listed this truck in an auction format with a modest reserve given it's rarity. Due to e-bays limited options about title I entered "clear title" however there is no title, I do however have all the import documents in hand. I would consider taking as part trade a very low mile Buell 1125 CR, BMW S1000 RR or interesting Ducati. I do have other interests as well but due to my age and current disabilities I am not looking for any projects. If you wish to speak to me about this truck please e-mail me your phone number and include which time zone you are calling from and a good time to call you back. For an international sale I can arrange shipping (at the buyer expense) to either a Texas port or California port which ever is closest to the trucks destination. Shipping from that port must be arranged by the buyer. Buyer has 30 days free inside storage before the vehicle needs to be removed and for a longer period with prior arrangements. A $1000.00 deposit will be expected through PayPal within 24hr's of listing end and the balance in cash, cashiers check within 5 days of listing end.

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
