What we have here is a nice driver. The tires have been replaced since we took the pictures last Saturday. They are brand new black walls.This car is a long way from being perfect. The wind caught the trunk lid and bent the sail panel between the trunk and cab. A hammer and dolly should massage it out pretty easy. There is two bubbled up rust places. One is on the drip rail of the trunk, this is the worst. The other is on the top of the fender. There are a few others but these are the most noticeable. The car has sat for a number of years and when we purchased it, it was not running. I removed the gas tank and took it to the local radiator shop to be vated and cleaned out. The tank looked like it is newer than original. It cleaned up real nice. The fuel sending unit is intermittent. The carburetor jets were cleaned and reinstalled. I have driven the car about 100 miles and it runs real good, I would not be afraid to take it on a trip if the brakes were gone thru. The car pulls to the right when you hit the brakes. The pads have a lot of life still left in them. The rear driver side wheel cylinder is leaky. I would recommend replacing all the wheel cylinders and then you are sure of whet you got. The engine runs good and the transmission shifts good.
The underside has a few visible problems. It looks like someone in the past has patched up a few places. The undercoating is heavy in places with signs of rust under it. Look at the pictures and see the oil on the engine and rear end.
The CLOCK is missing. The glove box lock needs a key and to be installed. The trunk key is missing and will not shut properly until the dent is massaged out.
Overall the car preforms well to not be a fully restored car. It is very presentable. The gauges and interior are presentable. The red shows well and the seat covers are nice. The numbers seem to match, however I am no expert and if this is of the upmost importance to you, I will do my best to tell you what you want to know. Better yet, come and look at it. Email me for the address.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class spied once again
Fri, 08 Feb 2013As evidenced by how little camouflage the next-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been caught wearing lately, it can't be too much longer until the car will get its official debut. In our newest shots of the yacht-sized luxo sedan, the cladding still covers up the headlights, front fascia and most of the rear end, but we finally have an almost undisguised look at the rest of the car's lines.
Considering previous spy shots had more camo that better (or fully) concealed the S-Class' body, some of the more obvious things we see in these images include the prominent grille, the CLS-Class-inspired bodyside creases, the pointed trunk opening and, most interestingly, a lack of fancy exhaust outlets. Unlike other S-Class prototypes we've seen, this car does not have integrated outlets, but it does have two pipes on the left side of the car. All current S-Class models in the US and Europe feature a dual exhaust layout on each side of the car, so while some of our questions about the car get answered, it would appear that more are just arising.
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.
Mercedes-Benz intros long-wheelbase E-Class for China
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Long-wheelbase sedans are a pretty hot commodity in China, and to keep up with the competition, Mercedes-Benz has introduced an extended version of the 2014 E-Class sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show. Audi, BMW, Volvo and even Cadillac offer extended versions of sedans specific to the Chinese market, and now the E-Class L, shown off in E400L guise, will give luxury sedan buyers in China yet another option.
Compared to the standard 2014 E-Class sedan, the new China-spec E-Class L has been stretched by 5.5 inches - all of which goes to the rear-seat passengers. According to an article on China View from earlier in the year, the market for chauffeur-driven cars is growing in the Asian nation, so automakers need long-wheelbase models like the E-Class L in order to fully compete. As for what powers this stretched E-Class, it's available in three models: the diesel E260L, the V6-powered E300L and the E400 Hybrid.
The redesigned E-Class and the all-new A-Class are just the first of 20 new Mercedes-Benz products that will be introduced into the Chinese auto market by 2015. Scroll down for the full press release on long-wheelbase E.
