Hi there classic benz buyers , here is a real nice old 1963 mercedes 220 se convertible for sale, i am a used car dealer in dry climate south texas and i occasionally get my hands on something pretty rare down here , and this car is in very good condition especially for it being 50 years old . i bought this car from an old retired attorney down here that had it for around 30 years or so , it spent the last ten or so sitting under a dusty carport. it was delapidated but all there with only a small dent in the left headlight area and faded paint etc from sitting around , i actually spent the better part of 5 years trying to talk this guy into selling it to me , he was saving it for his grandson who after all bought a corvette and didnt want this car. i put on a new aftermarket fuel pump and rebuilt the front brakes, installed some miscellaneous new chrome, had the car repainted , put on a new canvas top, detailed the motor , did a trans service, got the air cond working , got all the lights burning etc . i spent a lot of time and money .we are pretty good mechanics but we are not professional restorers so the car works great but the repaint is only fair quality. but this is still a very cool car . This car STARTS RIGHT UP,RUNS GREAT , SHIFTS FINE, STEERS and STOPS EXCELLENT, THE AC WORKS ,THE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS WORK , as does pretty much everything else, the speedo has a chrome cap that fell down inside the gauge,the seats are vinyl that look like leather and they are old and smell old, the window seals are rotten,i do not have the jack, undercarriage is pretty clean but it does have some what appears to be fiberglass patches around the rear trunk floor area but this is a very solid car,some of the chrome is a little pitted and the bumpers have some little dents . I have several old cars and i need to raise some money so i am offering it for sale . I have seen all kinds of prices for these cars and obviously i want as much as i can get , but I am a motivated seller so please do bid on it because i need the money and i am probably going to accept the high bid even if it does not reach my reserve . you are welcome to come and see it , you can probably drive it home to where ever but that is not a guarantee, it is mighty hot down here, I reserve the right to end the auction and sell it locally if the reserve is not met any questions please do call me jay at 956 624 2669 i can arrange for the car to be shipped about any where at your expense. PLEASE BID IF YOU CAN PAY WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE AUCTION ENDING , and i will need an immediate deposit thru paypal or overnight etc

Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA gets official ahead of Shanghai
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz has something special planned for the Shanghai Motor Show - a new CUV concept that we first saw when it leaked on the internet yesterday. The GLA Concept compact crossover will hit the show stand with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque mated to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive, and likely previews a new production model that we've already spotted testing.
That's not news, but the laser-based headlamps with video-projecting capability certainly are. Mercedes-Benz says the array can project any image or video onto a screen, which is handy since there are a pair of HD cameras mounted to the roof rack. The cameras can be removed and taken with you on all sorts of adventures. The lamps also feature a visible cooling system comprised of a series of fans, and the system helps give the headlights their "sparkle" effect.
Step indoors and the GLA offers up the interior of a high-quality crossover, complete with contrasting leather and plenty of aluminum. The automaker says the cabin was inspired by saddle craftsmanship with "more than 65 feet of hand-stitched seams to hold the raw edges of the leather together."
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.
Autoblog drives to the Arctic Circle
Fri, 22 Mar 2013In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
