All the numbers Match on this vehicle other than the hood which was either repaired or replaced at some point.
I purchased this car 2 years ago.
It was fully restored 20 years ago and then sat in a garage in Virginia.
So I had a lot of good to work with.
My wife loved the color and we bought it. But she regrets buying a manual transmission and wants me to find her an
automatic.
The engine and transmission had been rebuilt before & a many new parts were restored and
preserved.
I have an organized folder with all the parts purchased from the MB USA Irvine Classic Center and
all the different repairs and shops it has gone thru.
Different systems rebuilt and upgraded:
1- Braking System: New Master Cylinder, Front calipers rebuilt, new shoes and pads installed front and back as well
as
two new rear brake cylinders.
2- Suspension: All steering arms, bushings, shocks and bearings replaced.
3- Tires: 4 new BF Goodridge 3" white walls installed
4- Electrical: New Alternator with all wiring cleaned up and new light bulbs installed inside and out
5- Differential: Rebuilt, with new original boot as well as all four axel bearings replaced.
6- Water Pump New, with New Water Pump Housing & Radiator was rebuilt into a 4 core high density with new
thermostat and hoses.
7- Manual Shifter: All the bushings for the shifter have been replaced.
8- Both doors: latches were replaced and the entire car has working locks with original keys that match the data
card
9- Convertible top is in great condition with the rear plastic window is shiny and clear.
10- Fuel Injection Pump -Rebuilt by Fairchild Industries.
11- New Fuel Pump, Gas tank was rebuilt, & Full Major Tune Up, Valves have been adjusted, new wires, plugs, cap &
rotor & oil change.
I spent around $25,000 in parts and did most of the work myself, but also had a few different
Mercedes specialists help me restore this car.
This car has some rust issues. I spent $2500 and repaired the front end rust that made it safe
and in the future: This car will need a paint job and the rest of the rust dealt with.
This is a car for someone who wants to enjoy a turn key reliable convertible and in a few years
when the value exceeds $100K, the only thing it will need is a nice paint job.

World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked
Wed, 23 Apr 2014We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.
Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
