SL-Class 8 cyl Automatic Convertible Gorgeous 1985 Mercedes 380SL – Three-owner
–California car with Major Maintenance Out-of-the-Way. This lovingly and well-kept, accident-free, three-owner, 115,000 mile
car has its original hood emblem, windows and many interior features. It comes with two remote control locks for
the both doors and the trunk. The beautiful original dash has just one small
crack that is not easily seen on the top and everything working as it should.
The interior has always been smoke-free and is in fabulous condition with clean
carpet and door panels. It includes a
set of after-market cup holders in the console. The radio and automatic antenna
work perfectly, and the car has a DVD player located in the trunk. It
also has 2 emergency boxes, a car cover, a stand for the removable hard top
that is in wonderful condition. Many cars do not have the detachable wind screen
that comes with mine although it has one small tear. The car has been well maintained and it has all of its books, paperwork
and tools and extensive documentation. It is an amazing value to find a
car in this condition, driven less than 4,000 miles per year that ALREADY HAS
THE EXPENSIVE TIMING CHAIN WORK REQUIRED AFTER THE 110,000 MILE POINT OUT OF
THE WAY!! Recent repairs include new exhaust system, new valves, new brakes and
the new timing chain with related work. The engine is extremely strong with no
oil leaks, the transmission shifts smoothly with no noise and the exhaust system
has been fully replaced. The AC has also been replaced recently and blows cold, switching from
heat to cold with no issues. The 380SL has never been in an accident; its been
garaged in California its whole life and shows no rust anywhere. It
has an extremely clean undercarriage. Without a doubt, this is one of the finest classically beautiful
roadster designs built by Mercedes-Benz. You will look long and hard to find a
SL380 car with only 115K original miles, driven less than 4,000 miles per year
and has the major maintenance work already out of the way. This is the
last and best year of the 380SL The body on this car is in great shape. The two small flaws shown in the
photos include a small dent below the right tail light and a cracked left tail
light. A former boyfriend found the car for me 3.5 yrs ago and I bought it for
our road trips. It’s only been driven16K miles since owning. After we split up I don’t like to take it out
alone and that is the reason I’m selling this beautiful car that I have
invested so much in repair work. Questions, please call Ketti at 323-284-8555. Life is too short to
drive an ordinary car! |

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG shows up to fight the hottest hatches [w/videos]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Fun coincidence. On the same day that Audi announces the unveiling of its new S3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz steals the spotlight by confirming that the all-new A45 AMG will also receive its official debut early next month. Starting life as the entry-level A-Class hatchback, the A45 AMG gets the full AMG treatment, which includes numerous performance, handling and styling upgrades.
Under the hood sits an AMG-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 breathing through a sport exhaust system helping the five-door produce 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed AMG dual-clutch transmission and power is sent to the ground using 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz says that the A45 AMG will be able to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in under 4.5 seconds and it will have a top speed of 155 mph; in the land of hot hatches, it doesn't get much hotter than that. For added performance and handling, AMG has retuned the A-Class' suspension and steering systems and equipped The A45 with a three-stage stability control system that is specific to this car.
Surprisingly, the exterior styling of the A-Class was already sporty enough that the new model doesn't receive too many changes to become the A45 AMG. The biggest alterations include black accents to the chin spoiler, rocker panels and mirror caps, black wheels with red-painted brake calipers and rectangular dual exhaust outlets. Inside, it doesn't take a trained eye to spot the differences. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and the numerous red accents throughout the cabin (including the seatbelts!) really help to make this AMG interior stand out; front passengers will also get sport bucket seats that appear to be more than supportive enough for even the most spirited driving conditions.
Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]
Fri, 31 Jan 2014If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
