1970 Mercedes 280s - Vintage Benz Collector Sedan on 2040-cars
Laurel, Mississippi, United States
The GOOD - Tobacco Brown exterior with uncommon beige texture interior. - More economical 6-cylinder 180HP engine that runs great with no noises or leaks. - Starts right up the first time every time. - Very clean and straight body repainted by first owner in 2006 and still looks great. - All original interior right down to the carpets! Has cocoa floor mats over the carpets front and rear. - Cooper Trendsetter radial whitewall tires with 80% to 85% tread remaining. - Original Becker radio and Owner's Manuals. - 5-digit odometer shows only 09,xxx miles but I'm sure it's gone around at least once. Please note that this is a 43-year old car. - Original trim, badges, emblems, and chrome - and the chrome looks great! - 4 original wheel covers, repainted in 2006 when the body was done. - Floor pans both inside and underneath are very clean. - Headlights, tail lights, turn signals, brake lights, dash board lights, vanity and dome lights, ignition key buzzer all work fine. - 4 power windows, all dash gauges, windshield wipers, horn, all door locks and trunk lock, all work fine with the exception of the clock. - The main dash board wood is in great condition but the strip at the base of the windshield has oxidized and needs to be refinished. - Very decent headliner with no rips or tears, just slightly age-toned and/or yellowed. - Newer brakes by the 2nd owner work fine. - Newer battery. - Tire tools and a good spare in the trunk. The BAD - Factory Air Conditioning works but only blows luke-cool to luke-warm but at least it blows - might only need a freon charge but I honestly don't know. - Becker Radio works but the station tuning knob doesn't work so all you get is static unless you drive into an area with a station where the radio is currently tuned into. The UGLY - There are some rust bubbles starting to form under the paint. - There is rust behind the left front wheel and on the rear driver's-side door above the sill trim. - Has a single, small, crack in the dash pad which is an easy fix. - The door window wood trim on the driver's door has started to delaminate near the vent window - all other door window wood trim is fine. - There is a hairline crack on the driver's side stop light lens. - The door panel on the driver's door has a worn spot where the driver's elbow would rest while cruising. - Some normal, minor flaws, blemishes, and dings in body and/or chrome when you're a foot away, most of which are virtually invisible from 10 feet away. RECENT REPAIRS: - Resurfaced cylinder head and new gasket - New engine mounts - New fuel filter and hoses - New radiator hose - New V-belts - New spark plugs, distributor cap, ignition rotor, points, spark plug wire set - All fluids replaced On Oct-31-13 at 15:21:51 PDT, seller added the following information: |

New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC
Sat, 02 Feb 2013Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.
2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
Mercedes to roll out C63 AMG late in 2014 with 4.0L V8
Mon, 30 Dec 2013The new 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is upon us, launching initially in North America with turbocharged four-cylinder C300 4Matic and six-cylinder C400 4Matic flavors. But that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the vast array of powertrain configurations that will be offered in the new C-Class in markets around the world. Orders will soon be rolling in for gasoline, hybrid and diesel engines with four, six or eight cylinders, driving the rear wheels or all four, with the seven-speed automatic transmission soon to be replaced by a new nine-speed unit. But what enthusiasts are really looking forward to is the next C63 AMG.
As BMW has done with the M3 (and new M4), Mercedes has gradually ratcheted up the cylinder count in its AMG C-Class, graduating from the 3.6-liter V6 in the original C36 AMG to the 4.3-liter V8 in the C43 AMG, then the 5.5-liter V8 in the C55 AMG before going the distance with the sublime 6.2-liter V8 in the C63 AMG. Like its rivals, Mercedes is expected to use turbochargers as a replacement for displacement in the next model, but unlike its Bavarian rival, it won't be losing any cylinders in the process.
Skipping the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that has gone on to power other AMG models, the next C63 AMG is still expected to introduce a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing between 450 and 500 horsepower. It'll also reportedly keep the same seven-speed automatic transmission (instead of switching to the new nine-speed), but the jury's still out on whether it'll come with rear- or all-wheel drive (or offer buyers the choice). The downsized V8 - codenamed M177 - is then expected to find its way into other models, but the C-Class will be the first to get it when it arrives before the end of the new year ahead.
