Mercedes Benz 190e 2.3-16v Cosworth on 2040-cars
Littleton, Colorado, United States
|
Up for sale is the ubiquitous 190E 2.3-16V Cosworth- the car that started the performance tech race between german car builders. I've decided to sell my 1986 MB Cozzie as it has been sitting for some time without any attention. I bought this car as a project to restore, but my attention was consumed by another car. I've decided to let this pony out of my stable. Selling for less than I bought it for as I'm pretty motivated to sell. This would make a cheap parts car or a good candidate for restore, which is what I initially had in mind.
The car is originally from California, great body, and has a clean title. It does have a loose chain guide, which causes some noise at idle.. The top end of the motor does leak a bit of oil, probably a valve cover gasket, as moisture can be seen on the seam. Car passed smog in '13 in California. Runs and drives- when I bought it, I drove it all the way from CA to CO. Added about a quart of oil after the 19 hour drive. The car is black/black, the paint is a bit oxidized as its previous owner didn't garage it. Car was resprayed some odd years ago with a poor black overspray. It does have a Euro headlight option and is lowered on some aftermarket springs. Sunroof and power functions work fine with the exception of the lap timer and voltage meter. Strong oil pressure, starts right up! Car is probably worth more than it will sell for in parts... so if you have the space/time to part it out, that may be a good revenue stream. I, unfortunately, do not have the time nor space for that. The car is lowered and during my most recent drive, a deep gutter kicked a piece of trim off the passenger side. Broke some plastic clips that hold it in place. I still have the piece of trim. My loss is your gain with this exceedingly difficult-to-find collectable. Selling cheap as you'll google that even in "project" condition, these go for 7-8K. Google it! Yes, it is automatic, but I was planning on doing a AMG V8 swap in it. Better not to disturb a rare collectible anyway :) No reserve- somebody fly in, drive home. |

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
Mercedes was set to sell version of Nissan Titan, now Infiniti might instead
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz Titan. Mercedes-Benz Frontier. Mercedes-Benz pickup truck. None of these things roll off the tongue particularly well. We'd like to think that's the reason Daimler opted to kill the idea of rebadged Titan and Frontier pickups from corporate ally Nissan. In reality, the execution before the Frankfurt Motor Show was due to more complicated issues.
Yes, Mercedes, byword for German luxury, style and quality, would have slapped a three-pointed star on a pair of Japanese pickup trucks that have failed to resonate with consumers in the world's largest truck market. That slapping of badges isn't much of an exaggeration, at least on the outside. According to the report from Road & Track, the truck's front clip would have been tweaked, but beyond that, the sheetmetal would have been unchanged. The interior would have received a more thorough going-over by the team at Mercedes, while the suspension and noise, vibration and harshness tuning would have also received significant attention.
The trucks would have ended up being sold through the light-commercial branch of Mercedes-Benz - the same folks that will happily sell you a Sprinter van - had the deal gone through. Issues arose, though, first with the engines. Mercedes wanted a wider range of powertrains to allow it to tune models for specific markets, while Nissan said it couldn't engineer the wide variety of engines that MB wanted to drop under the hood. For the smaller truck, meanwhile, MB was interested in a hybrid or plug-in variant, according to R&T, although this was also shot down by Nissan.
Mercedes fits new C-Class with AMG kit
Sat, 28 Dec 2013It's only been a week and a half since Mercedes-Benz revealed the new C-Class, and it'll likely be a while yet before the replacement for the C63 AMG comes along. But if you want to see a preview of what it'll look like, look no further than the AMG aero kit that has just surfaced.
Expected to debut on the new C-Class at the fast-approaching Detroit Auto Show, the AMG Line Exterior Pack adds a new bumpers front and rear, side skirts, dual exhaust tips, mesh grille, aluminum window frames and - most importantly - 18-inch alloys packing upgraded brakes and fitted to a lowered sport suspension. All of which will help any C-Class look the part, even if the engine remains stock.
