1985 Mercedes Benz 380 SL (W107), low miles, very rare and striking color combination of gold metallic exterior with palomino interior.  56,600 miles (less than 2,000 per year).  This car has been babied all its life and it shows and drives as a 2-3 year old car.  It is in very good to excellent condition throughout.  Truly an exceptional car which can only be described as very elegant.  She gets compliments every time she is taken out, Valets and car wash employees cannot believe the condition of the car.  Driven only by meticulous Mercedes Benz club female.

The car has always been maintained to a high level and has receipts for work done over the years to maintain her in top notch condition.  Within the past 2,500 miles she has had the following work done:

Complete Valve Job                                                                 New valve cover seals

New timing chain, rails and tensioner                                     New coolant/antifreeze

New thermostat & bypass hose                                               New shifter bushings

New hydraulic compensators                                                   New Accelerator bushings

Tune up including new ignition wires                                      New fuel accumulator

New distributor cap & rotor                                                    New Exhaust hangers

New battery                                                                             New Brake pads & rotors front & rear           

New Soft top seals                                                                    New A/C compressor, dryer & switches

New Heater control valve                                                        New radiator hoses & cooler lines

New motor mounts                                                                   Radiator flush

New transmission pan & seal                                                  New rear shocks

Within the past two years maintenance receipts total over $11,000.  If you know these cars you know that they are increasing in value rapidly as collector items. This particular car is exemplary; its condition, low miles and open checkbook maintenance make it an excellent investment.  Don’t spend $12,000 to $14,000 for a “good” example and then have to spend thousands for work that this car has already had completed.

The air conditioning blows ice cold and the heat functions as it should.  The interior and trunk are in excellent condition, with no wear showing on the pedals or steering wheel, all power options work as they should (including the power antenna).  The carpets show as new and the seats are soft and supple leather with no tears or rips.  The door panels are in excellent condition, the dash is in excellent shape with no cracks or blemishes, as is the steering wheel.  The palomino interior is very clean and the color is striking.  The trunk shows as new, there are absolutely no stains on the palomino carpet in the trunk, evidence of the care this car has received over the years.

The car has always been garaged and there is no sun fading on the interior, the chrome is in very good condition, and all glass is in excellent condition as is the original chocolate brown soft top, with the plastic windows being clear.  This has always been a Western U.S. car and there is no body or underside rust, and never has been.  The wheel wells and engine bay are very clean.  The paint is original and very glossy, with no parking lot dings or dents.  The paint can best be described as a good 1 to 2 footer, there are minor imperfections that are not evident until you are 1 to 2 feet away, considering it is the original paint it is in incredible condition.   The Chrome Spoke Wire Wheels (Zenith Wire Wheel Company, original cost $2000) are in very good condition. 

“Goldie” as we call her, is a joy to drive and exhibit to other Mercedes-Benz and Classic Car enthusiasts.  Her presence will be missed at our Mercedes Benz Club meets and she is only being sold to make additional garage space, we will be sad to see her go.  Hagerty Classic Car place the value on this car at $28,200 to $20,200, representing a condition 1 to 2, this car is a strong 2.  Nada Value on the vehicle is $24,400 to $36,100, based on average retail to high retail selling price.  With proper care and maintenance, you should be able to enjoy her for many years and see her value appreciate.  We have her clear title on hand for transfer to the new owner.

Goldie has A/C. Power Steering, Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Power Brakes, Cruise Control, AM/FM Stereo and Cassette Player.  Additional equipped with Premium Wheels, ABS brakes (4 wheel), V8 3.8 Liter, RWD, Original Owner’s Manual and First Aid Kit.  The tires have excellent tread but should be replaced owing to age.

If you have interest in this beautiful collectible car please feel free to contact me, all offers will be considered.  Thank you.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG coming to the New York Auto Show

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

Mercedes-Benz showed off the CLA45 AMG at a private event on the eve of the Geneva Motor Show, but was determined not to let it be photographed. We can talk about it, though - after all, a teaser image was released to promote the new Sony game Drive Club. The CLA45 AMG will use the same powertrain as the A45 AMG, which means a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. And that means a small four-door coupe sedan with the highest horsepower-per-liter in the segment. It will shift through the same seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, should also run out of speed at 155 miles per hour and have that three-stage stability control system.
As with its hatch sibling, the CLA is already so aggressive on the outside - and the parent company so anxious not to demolish the sedan's 0.22 coefficient of drag - that not much has been done to the cranked-up CLA. Even the rather thin tires on the standard only get a little less thin on the hotter variant. Inside will be the telltale AMG signs, with lots of red detailing and that flat-bottomed wheel among the giveaways. We'll know more later this month when the wraps come off at the New York International Auto Show.

Mercedes Sprinter updated to take on Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

By the end of this year, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be the second-oldest nameplate in its segment here in the States, but with hot new competition waiting in the wings, Mercedes-Benz is giving its hauler a freshened look and more equipment to stave off rivals. The Sprinter was a pioneer in bringing Euro-style delivery vans to North America, and it's inspired others to transplant their Continental offerings, with the all-new Ford Transit and Ram Promaster models launching shortly. It will also continue to do battle with lower-cost traditional competitors like the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-Series.
The big Sprinter will thus get a new look to go with more safety features and available technology. While the information released here technically covers the Euro-spec 2013 Sprinter (which goes on sale in September), the US market is expected to get the new Sprinter for the 2014 model year with many of the same features. Some of this new technology includes a Crosswind Assist feature as standard equipment and the availability of Collision Prevention Assist and Blind Spot Assist as optional safety measures - Mercedes-Benz says that all three are firsts for any van in the world. Also added to the updated Sprinter is a new 1.8-liter supercharged gasoline (or CNG) engine producing 156 horsepower, which will complement the line of diesel engines that carry over and help make the Sprinter the first cargo van to meet the upcoming Euro VI emissions standards. Additionally, a lower ride height is said to improve fuel economy and should improve handling while aiding ingress and egress for both people and cargo.
In terms of styling, the Sprinter's new face also looks more like the current line of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. This includes a more upright grille along with changes to the hood, headlights and bumper that lend it a closer kinship to models like the CLS-Class and the updated E-Class. The Sprinter will offer both halogen and HID headlights, while the latter will get LED running lamps and offer Highbeam Assist. The images shown here only reveal the exterior from front angles, but it looks like few, if any, changes have been made to the rear of the van. Interior upgrades include a thicker steering wheel, a new shift lever and the latest in audio, navigation and entertainment systems.
