1970 Mercedes Benz 300SEL 6.3

Selling for a friend. Here is his description:

This car has had three owners, including myself. It was ordered new by a physician in Ohio, and the second owner purchased it through his estate in 1999. We bought the car from the second owner, and he had done, over the course of ten yeas, much to improve the car mechanically. Service records are all available. I am selling the car because I have purchased another car and need to make room in the garage. I have done quite bit to improve this 6.3 and I drive it 60 miles every week to ensure that everything is working. Current mileage is 82,000.

The following is a discussion of all of the major systems and components of this car:

Paint: A decent 10 footer. There are some areas of cracking and surface rust. The car should be repainted.

Engine: In 2001-2002 the engine was removed. Valve guides, piston rings, all gaskets, timing chain and guides, rocker arms, water pump, main bearings and other wear items were replaced. This engine is dry and does not use oil between 2,500 mile oil services. The reason for the removal and disassembly was because valve guides were needed, and it was easier to remove the entire engine. This car did not suffer a major mechanical failure.
During the rebuild, a rebuilt injection pump and injectors were installed. We have documentation from Star Motors that references all of the parts purchased for the rebuild.

Transmission: The transmission's external seals were replaced. Its internals are very nice, and it shifts well, with no hard shifts or flaring.

Suspension and steering: Star motors replaced the front subframe mounts and engine mounts following the engine rebuild. The steering coupling was also replaced, but I think this car will need another one soon. The steering box does have some play. There are no noticeable noises from the suspension and it seems to have been surfaced at the prescribed intervals.

Air suspension system: In 2001, new air bags were installed. The air bags are still in good shape. The leveling valves do not leak excessively, but they do have some internal leakage, meaning that after two days or so, the light will come on, but the car will not sink down. The check valve in the tank used to leak, but we fixed it. So while the air suspension is not perfect, it does stay up for two weeks or so.

Brakes: The brakes work well, with no sticking calipers and no pulling to the left or right.

Interior is in good/nice condition. Brand new headliner, New upgraded radio/ speaker system, and cold AC. This Mercedes starts right up with a turn of the key. The ride is very smooth and extremely fast, if any of you have had the pleasure of driving a solid 6.3 then you know what I mean.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW i8's Engine of the Year, biodiesel producer guilty

Fri, Jun 19 2015

BMW has won International Engine of the Year for the hybrid system in the i8. The i8 PHEV uses a 1.5-liter, three-cylinder gasoline engine with a hybrid drive unit including a 96-kilowatt electric motor. BMW beat Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine by a small margin to win the award for best overall engine. It also took the award for the 1.4-liter to 1.8-liter category, as well as best new engine. Tesla beat BMW to win the green engine category for the electric powertrain of the Tesla Model S. Read more at Green Car Congress, or see all of the results from the International Engine of the Year Awards. The head of Audi powertain development is quitting as the automaker steps up electrification. Stefan Knirsch has worked at Audi since late 2013, and previously worked at Porsche as the head of quality management and engine development. Germany's Auto Motor und Sport magazine had reported that Knirsch was leaving Audi, which Audi confirmed without giving a departure date or saying if he would be working elsewhere. Audi has been feeling pressure from its competitor Mercedes-Benz, and has been working on improving its EV offerings and autonomous vehicle technology. Read more from Reuters. The owner of a biodiesel company has pleaded guilty to fraud. Philip Joseph Rivkin, aka Felipe Poitan Arriaga, took part in a scheme to defraud the EPA, falsely claiming to be producing millions of gallons of biodiesel. This allowed his company, Green Diesel, to receive renewable fuel credits and sell them to oil companies and brokers. "These crimes are a serious threat to an important program that helps combat climate change," says Cynthia Giles of the EPA. "Companies and individual managers should get the message that there are serious consequences for breaking the rules and undermining the integrity of this program." Rivkin faces over 10 years in prison and $51 million in restitution. Read more in the press release below. Biodiesel Fuel Company Owner Pleads Guilty to Fraud and Clean Air Act Crimes Connected to Renewable Fuels Scheme Philip J. Rivkin faces more than 10 years imprisonment and $51 million in restitution WASHINGTON – Philip Joseph Rivkin, a.k.a.

Mercedes C-Class Coupe caught

Thu, Jan 22 2015

The Mercedes C-Class Coupe is getting ready for a launch later this year and that means it has to come out and test its long, wide shoulders. Spy photographers caught it in camo around Stuttgart, and there's a bolt-on piece that makes it appear to have a BMW 6 Series-like trunk, but you can ignore that. Genuine changes include it being lower, wider, and "noticeably sportier" as we've been told, and the side mirrors are mounted on the doors instead of in the triangle between the A-pillar and beltline, where they are on the sedan. As with the new sedan, this coupe looks much more mature than the current model, and even under the camo you can see how the sculpting has been emphasized. Notice how the upper swage maintains its punch as it runs through the door handle and over the rear wheel, instead of dipping below the door handle and softening as it does on the sedan. It could get an intro at the Paris Motor Show, maybe even with the convertible by its side, and it's expected to go on sale in Europe later this year. Let your eyes have a taste in the spy shots above.

Mercedes-AMG GT3 opts for big displacement without a turbo

Fri, Feb 27 2015

There was a time when there were numerous categories in sports car racing: GT1, GT2 , GT3... but these days they've all been amalgamated into the latter. That's left a GT3 class packed with competitors and possibly more contentious than ever before. What you see here is Mercedes' new challenger, in official form after being leaked earlier today by the French website Le Point. Replacing the SLS AMG GT3 that won its class (among other races) the Nurburgring 24 Hours in 2013 is the new Mercedes-AMG GT3. Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, it's the racing version of the new Mercedes-AMG GT, and aside from looking the business, it has the makings of a highly competitive entry. As you can see, it sits closer to the track surface than the road-going version, and packs more extreme aero – including a front splitter you could serve dinner off of, little winglets to deflect the air away from the front tires, deep side sills, a massive rear wing and (though we can't see it presently) what promises to be a very large rear diffuser. It's also got more ventilation to feed the engine and cool the brakes, and a stripped-out cabin with full roll cage and a steering device that's long since evolved beyond resembling an actual "wheel." To save weight, Mercedes has redone many of the panels out of carbon fiber, but one of the most intriguing elements is what you'd find under that woven hood: instead of adapting the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 from the road-going GT, AMG has slotted in the larger atmospheric 6.3-liter V8 from the outgoing racer – coupled to a six-speed sequential gearbox. With its new GT3 entry, Mercedes surely hopes to take a slice of the customer racing market that Porsche in particular has developed into a successful and profitable business over the years. Racing fans, however, will be more interested to see how this puppy fares at Le Mans, the Nurburgring, the Blancpain sprint and endurance series, the United SportsCar Championship, the FIA World Endurance Championship and countless national series around the world. It'll have tough competition on its hands, though, from the likes of the Porsche 911 RSR, Audi R8 LMS, Bentley Continental GT3, Ferrari 458 Italia GT3, McLaren 650S GT3, Lamborghini Huracan GT3 and countless others that battle for glory on a racetrack somewhere on any given Sunday. World premiere in Geneva for spectacular AMG racing car All-out attack : the new Mercedes-AMG GT3 Affalterbach.
