1979 Mercedes Benz 300D 4 speed gearbox. This W123 was in Northern California for its entire life until this year when I brought it to Florida. NO RUST. One small area on the passenger fender well is all I could detect. The remainder of the car is solid as a rock. Originally a 240D, the prior owner removed the 616 engine and installed a healthy '81 617 5 cylinder diesel non turbo engine. I was told the engine mileage was within 10k of the odometer reading. Odometer functions properly. Runs excellent. 4 speed transmission shifts and synchronizes perfectly. Clutch is firm. New brake pads on front. Recent upper control arms and ball joints. Extremely dependable, perfect for daily driving, commuting or cross country exploration. Excellent 30+ mpg fuel economy. A/C blows ice cold!..check out the pic with the 40 degrees at the vent, taken today when it was 80 outside.
 Interior is very nice. No damage whatsoever. Manual climate control, windows, antenna and passenger mirror. Two minor cracks in the dash. Missing the passenger map pocket, but I will include/install a palomino one I have and it can be dyed...or whatever. Analog clock works perfect. As simple and basic as they come. Still has the original first aid kit in the back.
 This 300D is very presentable, but it is not perfect. I have tried to capture all the "flaws" of the car in the photos. The windshield has a few chips. The paint is still relatively shiny, but there are a few minor dents on the hood, roof and trunk. The sides are straight. The tires are decent but non-matching. Has a good spare in the trunk with all the jacking tools. The central lock system is inoperable, I have it diagnosed as a leaky rear driver door actuator. The truck lock has ben changed and uses a different key than ignition. It works fine, locks, unlocks properly.
 I have owned several 123's and still have a handful. In my opinion, this is an excellent candidate to invest cosmetic time in, drive or use casually. Would also make an excellent first car for a new driver, being rear wheel drive, four wheel disc brake and full frame with solid bumpers vehicle.. Anyone who knows these cars knows their DURABILITY.
 Auction offered at NO RESERVE. Keep in mind this car is 34 years old but in my honest opinion..its better than a new car, and will certainly outlive most of them.  Buyer to pay 500.00 deposit upon auctions close, with balance due within 7 days. Any questions or if you would like to come and inspect the car give me a call. Please note that all sales are FINAL. This vehicle is being sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS with NO warranty expressed, written or implied.  If you have an interest in shipping I can help with shippers I've used.
 I try to represent what I sell as accurately as possible and to disclose any known defects associated with the car. I do not warranty anything that may or could happen after sale. Any inspections are to be completed before the end of sale, not afterward. Winning this auction does not entitle you to come inspect the car and decide if you want to buy it, but obligates you to complete the purchase! Clear and open Florida title. I appreciate your bids. Good Luck. Dave (407) 716 6212.

Maybach Pullman, S550 4Matic coming next

Mon, Nov 24 2014

Mercedes-Benz officially revived the Maybach name as a sub-brand with the reveal of the luxed-up S600 at the LA Auto Show last week, but that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the German automaker's new plans for its uber-prestige marque. Motor Trend reports that Mercedes is planning two additional Maybach variants to launch in the near future, both of them also based on the S-Class. First up, we're told to expect the even longer Pullman limousine to launch, complete with Maybach treatment, at the Geneva Motor Show next March – although this model won't necessarily be offered in America. Whether it will or not, the Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman will be even bigger, more luxurious and more expensive than the one just unveiled. What is being planned for US customers, however, is an Maybach S550 4Matic. Mating the 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8 to all-wheel drive would be a boon for wintery upscale markets, and is reportedly a more feasible option than trying to pair the V12 to the 4Matic system. As for other model lines, we've heard rumors of a Maybach GL-Class utility in the pipeline, but have yet to receive any such confirmation. Car confirms, however, that we shouldn't expect to see AMG versions of Maybach models. The two are being cultivated as separate pillars atop the Mercedes range – one focused on performance, the other on luxury – and never the twain shall meet. The previous model line did breed a sportier Maybach 57 S, however, and we wouldn't be surprised to see a similar treatment applied to one of the new models should Daimler find there's demand. In related news, MT also reports that a new S-Class Cabriolet is coming around the corner, and that the G550 is preparing to drop its aging 5.5-liter V8 in favor of the GL's 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6.

2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class vs big luxury off-roaders: How they compare on paper

Mon, May 7 2018

During our first drive of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the all-new SUV's product manager was asked to identify competitors that might have been benchmarked in its development. The look on his face was about the same as if someone had asked him to recite King Lear in Klingon. As far as Andreas Hoeppel was concerned, the G 550 and AMG G 63 doesn't actually have a rival, or at least something the engineers and designers thought to compare it against. The G-Class is a G-Class, who cares what the other guys are doing? Well, in case you care, we figured we'd plug the new G-Class' specs into the old Autoblog Comparo Generator 3000 (TM) to see how the G 550 and AMG G 63 compare to the Range Rover and its mightiest SVAutobiography Dynamic model, plus the Lexus LX 570 and Bentley Bentayga V8. Frankly, Heir Hoeppel was onto something as each of these is wildly different. But, they do share some common elements: giant size and weight, ultra-lux interiors, and far more off-roading capability than other luxury SUVs offer and any of its owners are likely to ever utilize. Sad. So enjoy this trip down specification lane, and if you're still left hungry, you can always check out our Range Rover comparison or create your very own comparo. Off-Road Clearances and Capability All the fancy off-roading software and special cameras in the world won't do you a lick of good if your SUV is too close to the ground or has low-hanging body work that'll get easily ripped off. As such, check out each of these uber-SUV's ground clearance, approach and departure angles, and wading/fording depths. In this case, the Range Rover has an advantage due to its air suspension that can raise itself into an Off-Roading height that's a whopping 2 inches higher than the new G-Wagen. Sadly for itself, Lexus only provides figures for its air suspension when in normal height. It could match or surpass the Range Rover for all we know (but doubt it). As Land Rover does provide figures for the Range Rover's approach and departure angles in normal and Off-Road height, you can get an idea of just how much clearance the new G-Wagen has without any fancy (and expensive to fix) raising and lowering air suspension hardware. In fact, its departure angle is better than even the Range Rover's Off-Road height. Bentley doesn't provide any such information despite touting the Bentayga's surprising off-roading talents.
