THIS IS A NO RESERVE LISTING.
This is my 1986 Classic Motor Carriages (CMC) Gazelle, a replica of the 1929 Mercedes SSK roadster. This car has only 3810 original miles since new.
Gazelle Mercedes replicas were built by Classic Motor Carriages in Miami, Florida. They used several chassis/drivetrain options, and this one, the Mustang chassis with the Mustang 2.8L V6, automatic transmission and air conditioning, was the best quality, most powerful and most highly optioned of their vehicles. You could order a Gazelle with a Volkswagen Beetle motor, a Ford or Chevy 4-cylinder, or this one, the 2.8L V6. This is the best of all the Gazelle cars, with the most power, best sounding engine, best performance and easy parts availability.
This car is equipped with air conditioning, but it doesn't currently work. I'm sure it could be made to work if someone wanted, but as a convertible fun car, who really needs it? This car also has a heater, which not all of them did.
This car has a folding convertible top in good condition.
The exterior and paint and body of this Gazelle Mercedes are good. The car is straight and clean with no major defects. The undercarriage is superbly clean and solid. After all, this car has always been garaged and never winter-driven, nor even driven in the rain.
The interior is in good shape. The seats are very presentable, with some tape over a few split seams and some minor interior wear typical of the age of the car, but it looks good overall. The previous owner covered up the small rear seat with an enclosure that could be removed if you wanted access to the rear seats again.
The hood has been painted with an expensive Ford "flop" color that looks green from one angle, purple from another. It looks really neat on the car.
This car starts, runs and drives well. The Ford 2.8L V6 is powerful and sounds great. The carburetor is brand new. The automatic transmission shifts well and the brakes, steering and handling are good.
This is a replica kit car of a 1929 vehicle, so please don't expect 2014 Mercedes build quality or stability. You won't be taking the highway at 140 mph or taking this car on long cross-country road trips. It is totally reliable and dependable, it just doesn't have the creature comforts of a modern new car and it has certain rattles, etc. This would make a great fun car, weekend car or a car to take to local cruise-ins. This car gets TONS of attention. You can't drive a quarter mile without someone waving or asking questions about it. Everybody loves this car!
Many folks replace the Gazelle logos and hood ornaments with Mercedes logos, which has not been done to this car. You could certainly buy those logos and put them on the car easily- it would certainly keep people guessing!
This car has a clean and clear OH title ready to transfer. It is titled as a 1986 "Homemade Gaz 2D" serial number B9242.
This car is kept in my garage in Willoughby, OH.

SRT Viper dukes it out with Mercedes SLS Black Series in new Head 2 Head
Fri, 05 Jul 2013In Episode 36 of Motor Trend's Head 2 Head, now that the Corvette ZR1 is no more, Jonny Lieberman has to look overseas to the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series for a challenger with similar philosophy to the SRT Viper: long hood hiding a high-horsepower engine set way back, rear-wheel drive, tiny trunks. That puts the Viper's 8.4-liter V10 with 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque against the SLS AMG's 6.2-liter V8 with 622 hp and 468 lb-ft.
However, the congruences in philosophy and magnitude of numbers doesn't translate to the driving experiences of the two, which are literally and figuratively on different continents. Lieberman gets a handle on the two of them on Northern California roads, Randy Probst then finds out how, and how quickly, they can lap Laguna Seca.
They both get kudos for being improvements on their original sources, but only one of them can take the win. You can find out by watching the video below.
2013 Airstream Interstate 3500 EXT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.
