A remarkable and rare example of a quite original 1966 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Factory Cabriolet that has been owned by the same collector car owner for the past 13 years. It has been meticulously maintained and always garage kept and covered. This car was purchased new in 1966 from Markham Motors LTD. Mercedes Benz in Bernardsville, N.J. and then came to Miami, FL in the early 1980's when purchased by a Miami attorney. It was later purchased by a Miami collector in June 2000 and owned until present and currently has 77,478 original miles. Many service receipts and full original owners manuals are present and included.

This 220SE has been fully sorted and runs excellent. The matching numbers late model year 2.3 liter 6-cylinder Engine runs smooth and powerful and the 4-speed automatic transmission shifts perfectly. There is no fluid leaking or burning of oil. The engine compartment has been highly detailed and is show ready.

Most 220SE models came with a 2.2 liter 6 cylinder engine.

This Cabriolet is a true work of art. It has been recently refinished in its original factory color Bla"ugreen or Blue Green color code DB268 to an extremely high level that is near flawless. The paint is so beautiful, deep and mirror like it's hard to take your eyes off of it. The body lines are laser straight. All of the brightwork is original and shows very nicely as you can see by the photos. There is some pitting around the upper door chrome trim and the rear bumper does show some dings. I am missing the drivers side window top chrome trim. I removed the passenger side as well but is present and included. All four original hubcaps are free from scratches or dings and have brand new Falken Touring tires on them. The tan convertible top and back window are in excellent condition as well. There is a light scuff on the windshield in the drivers side left corner well out of the drivers view.

The interior is as exceptional as the the exterior. The original Bamboo color is the perfect contrast with the green exterior. The front leather seats have been professionally recovered using GAHH German leather. The original rear leather seat, door panels and convertible top boot are excellent original condition. The carpet has been replaced and is perfect and new with custom made Calico colored coco mats. The Zebrano wood dash is original but has been refinished in some needed areas and shows Beautifully. The original steering wheel is in excellent condition with just a touch of lovely patina. All of the chrome interior trim shines brightly and the headliner free from wear or discoloration. The original Becker Europa II stereo works and sounds great with 2 high end speakers. The manual antenna works perfectly as well.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon is one hot hauler [w/video]

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Mentioned at the debut of the redesigned Mercedes-Benz E-Class back in January, Mercedes has finally pulled back the curtain on the E63 AMG S, which was on display at the New York Auto Show in wagon guise. The 2014 E63 AMG S ups the ante even more from a "base" E63 AMG, improving the car's performance and styling - not that it needed help with either to begin with.
Our favorite S-model upgrade is the added output tweaked out of the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, which represents a substantial gain of 27 hp and 59 lb-ft of torque over the stock E63. In wagon form, the E63 AMG S can run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. All 2014 E63 AMGs come with Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, but the S-Model adds in a limited-slip rear differential for improved performance.
Mercedes has made sure that the extra money being spent on the S-Model is instantly noticeable with slightly different design cues and black along with 10-spoke wheels with red brake calipers peeking through. Plenty of silver-chrome and high-gloss black accents finish off the exterior styling, while the interior adds Alcantara on the steering wheel, accent stitching on the leather and contrasting silver seat belts on models with the black interior. Scroll down for an official video and press release.

Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]

Sat, 19 Jan 2013

How much extra value does previous celebrity ownership add to of a car? Really, there's no way to know until the car in question hits the auction block and bidders start raising their hands. In the case of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing you see above, the celebrity owner is none other than Clark Gable, who purchased it new. After Gable's death in 1960, the car changed hands a few times before settling with Charles Wood in 1975.
A high-dollar restoration was performed in 1989, and period accessories added by Gable himself were kept in place, including the Rudge knock-off wheels and Nardi steering wheel. Any Mercedes-Benz 300SL is worth a big chunk of money. In the case of Clark Gable's old Gullwing, the bidding stalled at $1.9 million here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. As one of the 5000-series cars, this 300SL carried a reserve, and a bit of after-the-fact dealmaking saw the car change hands for $1.85 million.
You can see our high-res image gallery above, and the car's official auction description below.

Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details

Mon, 06 May 2013

Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.
