Up for auction is a gorgeous 1968 Mercedes Benz 280SE.

This stunning example is a 46 year old never rusted or repaired California Black plate car. Yes, you read it right, a 46 YO car that never rusted. Car was in California its whole life up until August of 2013.

I bought the car from the original owner, and have the copy of the original title that corresponds to the Black plate.

Being a 155 horsepower fuel injected car, you get the best of everything with great gas mileage the V8 cars lack, less weight over the front axle which makes the car much more nimble and more peppy. I've had both cars, and I can tell you getting 10MPG hurts bad, no matter how rich you are. This car gets consistently over 20MPG.

When I found this car, I was surprised at the wonderful condition. All it needed to be a proper Mercedes was new paint, which was done at a top notch specialist shop, using the best materials, in the factory color, and new rugs which came from the Netherlands.

Other than that, the car was always dealer serviced its whole life (Hollywood Mercedes I was told), so I just changed the oils and filters for peace of mind.

I am showing pictures of the underbody and the inside floor so you can see the perfect condition of the sheet metal on the car. The floors are perfect, even the Original sound deadening is present throughout. The rear quarters where most of these cars accumulated water and rusted are perfect and showing the original factory welds and brush marks, inside and out.

The car starts first time, every time. It is turn key. It idles very smoothly, and the automatic transmission is very stout and shifts properly. ELECTRIC POWER Windows in 1968. They of course all go up and down smoothly and there is even a Child safety switch. Factory/dealer radio works great. All lights inside and out work perfectly. There is a light scratch, from a wiper you can see in the pics; its not noticeable but its there. The headliner is immaculate with the exception of a small stain around the rear light.

Car has factory air, but it is inop.

I used to have a 280SE 4.5 I loved it, but the gas was murder. After selling it, I missed the car so much, I went on the hunt for this car, an unrusted original six cylinder car. I love it and would never sell it, but unforeseen circumstances, are moving us across the country.

It saddens me to sell both my fantastic Mercedes, but I can only keep one car, and it has to be the new boring one.

This car is a people magnet. Everywhere you go, people will comment on the car. Male, female, young and old--Everyone loves it!!

Again every aspect of the car is in top shape.

Engine- Excellent

Transmission- Excellent. shifts smooth

Suspension Solid, smooth and tight

Brakes-Excellent

Interior- Very good Original condition

Exterior-Excellent

Ready to run. TURN KEY. Drive anywhere.

BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.

Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale

Fri, 10 May 2013

There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.
