1965 Mercedes 220se Sunroof Coupe Project-no Reserve! on 2040-cars
Hayward, California, United States
|
1965 220SEb sunroof coupe. It was a running driving car 5 years ago, when it was mechanically freshened after a long period of sitting. Work included cleaning fuel system, new fuel pump, strip and line fuel tank, comprehensive tune-up with new plug wires, suspension bushings, tie rods, wheel bearings, brake system overhaul including rebuilt caliper assemblies, wheel cylinders and master cylinder, steering dampener, motor mounts, and subframe mounts, with receipts from the shop that did the work. At that point, interior, trim, front fenders and doors were removed for sandblasting and a planned driver quality restoration. The sandblasting revealed extensive rust that would have required such a substantial investment in new sheet metal that the project was stopped at that point. There is no windshield with this car, but otherwise complete. The front fenders, hood and trunk are off the car and the interior is out. It needs extensive sheet metal work, paint, interior and remaining assembly. The chrome and trim is all in good condition, but not show quality. A new OEM rear muffler is included with the car. While it looks forlorn in primer, with fenders and doors removed, this car is actually in quite good mechanical condition. With fresh gas, likely another fuel system cleaning and a fresh battery, this car would start and drive. Receipts for this car total over $6,500 spent to date, excluding the initial acquisition cost of the car, and are included with the sale. Total miles on the car are unknown. IN ADDITION, THIS AUCTION INCLUDES A CORRECT AND COMPLETE NEW INTERIOR-COGNAC LEATHER SEAT CUSHIONS AND BACKS (FRONT AND REAR), ALL NEW CARPET, NEW HEADLINER, PLUS 2 ADDITIONAL FULL HIDES FOR DOOR PANELS, ETC. THE COST TO PURCHASE THIS PROFESSIONAL INTERIOR KIT IS ABOUT $4,500 PLUS TAX AND SHIPPING. ALSO INCLUDED IS A NEW (NEVER MOUNTED) OEM STEERING WHEEL. THE NEW INTERIOR KIT, STEERING WHEEL AND MUFFLER TOTAL ABOUT $6,000 IN REPLACEMENT VALUE. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE PRIOR INVESTMENT IN REPAIRS/TUNING/UPGRADES DETAILED ABOVE. BIDDING STARTS AT $4,500 WITH NO RESERVE. ESSENTIALLY THE CAR, WHICH HAS EXCELLENT MECHANICALS, IS FREE. FOR SHIPPING PURPOSES, SELLER WILL PACK AND SECURE ALL PARTS FOR SHIPPING, AND WILL ASSIST WITH COORDINATING PICKUP OF THE CAR. ALL SHIPPING COSTS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BUYER.

Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...
2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.
Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class
Mon, 18 Mar 2013
The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
