1972 Mercedes 250c Coupe Project Non Running Rare Small Bumper on 2040-cars
Madrid, Iowa, United States

This is a re-list due to a buyer that never followed through, never contacted me, and never responded to the non paying bidder notification. Please, listing fees are $50 plus final value fees means this "ad" will cost me $75 just to get this cool car out to a wider audience. I have done an extensive search of Craigs List for 250C or 280C cars and found that prices are from $2500 and up. Some run, some don't but this car is an excellent restoration project. I have over $1500 in this car. It has floor pan rust, but floor pans are shared with the thousands of 200 series four door sedans, so cutting out pans and installing them is not easy, but part of almost any restoration process. The best part is this is a true small bumper pillarless hardtop gem that is very well equipped. REAL leather seats, not MB-TEX vinyl, leather wrapped wheel, rear defrost, Becker radio, power steering, complete motor which had $3000 worth of work prior to previous owner storing car. Straight. Rust in pans, rust in very lower rear quarters which may have had plastic filler repair. This is a car for parts or for a full-on restorations. Front clips are shared with those same four door sedans. Paint it a better color-please! A dark turquise, green, deep blue. Bumpers are good, grille is good, lights OK, dash decent but has some cracking. Interior is all original and complete, so you have something to work with. Door panels complete. A nice start at a cheap price. I picked this Mercedes small bumper 250C coupe project up off Craigs List 3 months ago and now we are moving so it needs sold or crushed. It is a Fred Flintstone car, needing floor pans for sure. Trunk seems OK. It is straight with no dents. This car is special for it's loaded nature. It has power windows, Becker AM/FM. rear window defrost, leather wrapped steering wheel, leather seats and so on. Nicely equipped. I bought it off craigs list in Minnesota and transported sight unseen. It has a flawed Minnesota title. The buyer last, never transferred into his name and once it was on the way to me, and he had his money, he couldn't care less so it's a flawed title needing bonding, but I have the last known title to the car. I have not been able to raise the hood because the latch cable is no good. But I have looked underneath and it is complete. This is a rare and desirable small bumper 250C, and as a 1972, low emissions impact car. True hardtop. For the Mercedes collector. I can be reached at 515-520-2611 (Bryan) if questions. Car is getting dumped guys, honestly. It will be crushed if no one wants it. ebay charges $55 for an auction now, I am starting at $100 so market will decide but I have well over $1000 in this cool Mercedes project car. Becker radio, and condition and usage of parts are well worth $1000, BUT would prefer a restoration buyer. Thanks |

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.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale
Fri, 10 May 2013There 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.
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.
