Rare 1986 Mercedes 190 E 2.3-16v on 2040-cars
Bonita Springs, Florida, United States
|
This is a great car that has it all! This 5-speed manual is nimble and fun to drive, yet seats 5 with excellent cargo space. A rare car with black leather Recaro seats, MOMO steering wheel and shifter, Cosworth 16-valve cylinder head with mechanical valve lifters, Getrag gearbox (dogleg), self-leveling adjustable height, now-famous multilink rear suspension and first year for catalytic converter. Just over 8,000 of these cars sold in 1985. Maintenance records to 1989; family-owned since 1998. This car has a few flaws for her nearly 30 years on the road, but is still in great shape. Everything works, including the a/c and cruise control. The hood looks like it was repainted at some point and there are a few minor dings in the car. The driver's seat leather is split at the seam but unnoticeable. There is a nick in the wood to the right of the shifter. This car is leisurely driven by a middle-aged gal. It's practically a sin to have some old chick driving this car. But, once upon a time it was owned by her big brother who knew and repaired Mercedes. He passed away a few years ago and the car was kept for sentimental reasons. Over the past 4 years or so, there were new tires, exhaust and exhaust manifold, ignition, clutch (slave and master cylinders), a/c condenser and wiring harness, plug wires, self-leveling rod, and a new dashboard. The timing chain was replaced. There are also some speaker or stereo wires running from the back seat into the trunk. I think my brother may have been hooking up a CD changer or something. I never removed the wires. Click here to learn more about this car.
My favorite things are ... the sunroof, the way the car zips around roundabouts and corners and the sheer comfort of driving this car. More questions? Call or text (239) 273-8945. Btw ... I can put you in touch with somebody for an original radio ... reasonably priced. |

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
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.
Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept crossover leaked ahead of Shanghai debut
Wed, 17 Apr 2013With just a few days left before the start of the Shanghai Motor Show, images of the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept compact crossover have emerged online. The little 'ute is based on the small A-Class hatchback, and though it shares an identical wheelbase, is larger in every other dimension.
Looking like a rough-and-tumble five-door hatchback on the tippy toes of its 20-inch wheels, the GLA is most certainly destined for production in a toned down form that will borrow many bits and pieces from other cars based on this platform like the aforementioned A-Class and the CLA-Class sedan. Carscoop reports that the production version of the GLA will be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September of this year, with sales to the public starting in 2014.
Since it's based on the A-Class, we expect that the production GLA-Class will be powered by your choice of Mercedes' 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine and a diesel or two, and will offer transmissions that include the company's seven-speed DCT and perhaps a six-speed manual (at least in Europe). If the GLA follows the same path as the two cars before it, expect a GLA45 AMG producing over 300 horsepower, as well. As for what powers the GLA Concept, that just might remain a mystery until the vehicle is officially revealed in China.
