IF YOU ARE CHECKING OUT THIS CAR THE CHANCES ARE PRETTY GOOD THAT YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THEM...
This CLASSIC auto runs & drives beautifully... If you are looking for a "One-owner/Always-Garaged" SHOW car, well this Ol' Gray Mare IS NOT that car... You will pay 6K or 8K or even 10K or more for THAT car !!... (Check them out here on EBay, they are stunningly beautiful)... Here you found my old 1982 Mercedes 300CD TURBO diesel that has been driven daily and well utilized !!... Still an exceptional 32 year old USED car with 182k miles on it... And although there is a list of upgrades and repairs yet to be done, she still DRIVES GREAT !!...I bought this car as a project car to make a cross country tour from Palm Springs CALIFORNIA to St Pete's FLORIDA because I wanted a truly reliable ride to get me there and back without worry... And I can tell you for sure that I made that 5000+ mile excursion in style with lots of thumbs up along the way... I averaged 25 MPG WITHOUT the aid of any cruise control or air conditioning... Cosmetically, upon close examination you are gonna see all the little flaws of a well USED automobile...(The further back you stand, the better she looks... lol)... The top 3 things that are not working and still need to be worked on are the A/C, the sunroof and the cruise control... There is no major body work to be done, but could use a new paint job... One picture is of the worst damage to the body on the front passenger fender, however there are more scratches and blemishes to work out... The interior is in fair shape with some break thru on the drivers seat material... I do have replacement bumpers that I have not yet installed that will go with the car along with a few other minor spare parts... The dash has been covered with a molded dash cap... If you would like to see more pics of any specific part of the car please ask for it... She is not real fast out of the gate... But once she warms up she glides on down the highway at 75 MPH with plenty of power... Like most 30+ year old diesels, she drips a little oil and burps a little smoke here and there... But the engine and tranny are working fine... I only have the short term records of the things that I have done with the car that have been mostly cosmetic... The tires are cheap but only about 6k miles on them... The tags are good thru September 2014... This car will make a great daily driver but really shows its worth when cruising at higher speeds... You probably know that Mercedes built the gorgeous W123 series coupe from 1978 -1985 and only from 1982-1985 with the turbo-charged diesel engine . Only 8007 of these wonderful cars were made... This car was finished in silver grey (since been painted over) with blue interior... These well engineered W123 series cars have a long standing reputation for their reliability and are known to go for over 500k miles and still be running well... I am told this car would also be a perfect candidate for a bio diesel conversion where you could drive it on vegetable oil... Would be great to sell to a local buyer that can check everything out before buying... I do have it listed for sale locally so it is subject to sale before the end of the auction... Come check it out and see for yourself what is new & what is old... Test drive it !!... Make an Offer !! Buyer's Inspection Every

Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari 512M and more immortalized as Lego sets
Tue, Feb 1 2022Lego has announced a slew of new Speed Champions sets, the ones based on actual licensed cars, for 2022. The latest batch includes a smorgasbord of supercars, from beloved classics like the Lamborghini Countach to yet-to-be-released promises like the long-awaited Mercedes-AMG One. There are seven cars in total, released in five sets. Our favorite is probably the 262-piece Lamborghini Countach, based on a later LP500 variant. Not only does it tick the box of a childhood dream machine, but the angular shape of the real-life Countach lends itself well to being recreated in Lego bricks. Also, it's modeled in white rather than the typical red. Lego Speed Champions Ferrari 512M 1 View 6 Photos We also really dig the Ferrari 512M. It marked the last of Ferrari's V12 endurance racers, and even though it was soundly spanked by the Porsche 917, the cars are undeniably beautiful. The 291-piece Lego set does a great job of capturing its brutal wedge silhouette in brick form. Lego Speed Champions Lotus Evija 1 View 5 Photos Rounding out the single-car sets is the 247-piece Lotus Evija. The electric Lotus has a bit of a generic supercar look about it, but that's not entirely the fault of the Lego kit. Its dramatic vents can't really be replicated with the limited "resolution" of the Lego bricks. Its rear, with unique taillight-encircled air tunnels, is a bit more distinctive. Lego Speed Champions Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR & Vantage GT3 1 View 7 Photos In addition to the single car sets, there are two larger sets of two cars each. One is a 592-piece Aston Martin-themed pack that includes the Valkyrie AMR Pro and Vantage GT3. Again, it's a bit difficult to sculpt the cars' curvaceous lines out of straight-edged bricks, but the effort is admirable. The Valkyrie is probably the more successful of the two, as the Vantage would resemble a Corvette or Viper if it didn't have stickers to clarify the details. Lego Speed Champions Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance & Project One 01 View 9 Photos Last but not least is a twofer comprised of 564 bricks to build the Mercedes-AMG One and seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton's W12 racer. In Lego's official product description the driver is not mentioned by name, but the number 44 gives it away. The model of the One indeed looks like a sharp supercar, but the blocky pieces don't exactly replicate the lines we've seen on camouflaged test mules.
Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership
Thu, 19 Dec 2013The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.
