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.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.

Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.

Mercedes raises the roof on new CLA Shooting Brake [UPDATE]

Tue, Nov 25 2014

UPDATE: As we feared, the CLA Shooting Brake is not currently slated for US availability. The text below has been adjusted accordingly. Of all the variants in Mercedes' smallest line, only one doesn't have a liftgate, and that's the CLA-Class. But don't worry, the German automaker is out to fix that too with the reveal of the new CLA Shooting Brake you see here. Based on the same platform that underpins the CLA four-door coupe, the A-Class hatchback, B-Class minivan and GLA crossover, the new Shooting Brake applies a similar formula we've already seen on the bigger CLS Shooting Brake but in a much smaller form – which is to say, it's a wagon, but a shapely one. The revised roofline means more headroom in the back seat and significantly more cargo capacity than the four-door's trunk. Mercedes will offer the CLA with a variety of engine choices, including a 2.1-liter turbodiesel with either 136 or 177 horsepower, a 1.6-liter four with 122, 156 or 211 horsepower. That last model will even be available with 4Matic all-wheel drive for those not enamored by the idea of a front-drive Benz, but the top of the range, of course, is the CLA45 AMG Shooting Brake that carries the same 2.0-liter turbo four – all 360 horsepower of it – as the four-door CLA45 as well as the A45 and GLA45. Driving once again to all four wheels, Daimler says it'll reach 62 in 4.7 seconds (even quicker than the crossover) and top out at the usual 155 miles per hour. Of course those options only apply to markets where the new Shooting Brake will be offered. And unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz USA confirmed to Autoblog that (like the CLS wagon) the CLA Shooting Brake won't be making the transatlantic voyage to US showrooms (where the E-Class is the only low-slung Benz wagon on offer). That leaves the four-door CLA and the GLA crossover still holding down the pint-sized fort for Mercedes. THE NEW MERCEDES-BENZ CLA SHOOTING BRAKE: SPACE FOR SOMETHING NEW Stuttgart. Breathtakingly sporty proportions and a powerfully dynamic design idiom with sensuously shaped surfaces already made the CLA unmistakable in its four-door Coupe guise. It is now followed by a further design icon, the CLA Shooting Brake, with a unique look all of its own. The lower overall height and the elongated coupe-style roof contour line, the low greenhouse and the sweep of the high beltline are the key design features of its distinctive profile.
