Here is a beautiful, solid, straight, documented 1975 450 SEL that was one family owned (father/son) from May 1975 until late 2012, when it was sold to the mechanic who serviced the car thru a shop, for many years and those receipts are included totaling almost $3000 from 8/09 until 6/13 and fewer than 1000 miles during that time. New belts, total brakes including calipers, tune up, valve cover gaskets, battery, tires and more.  Here is an example of miles driven based on service records recorded in the included Mercedes Service Book:


5/20/75       671 Miles
9/15/75       4283
5/12/77      20,026
6/26/78      30,830
10/29/82    49,967
5/7/86        62,981
3/8/90        75,000
8/20/09      80,725

I did not include all the records but this gives you an idea of the way the car was used.  For the last approx. 20 years, the car was stored for use at a summer home here in Michigan by the Illinois owners and used during the summer and serviced by local garage when needed.  The car surprising had one very, very professional repaint almost 20 years ago. I had to look very hard to find any sign of such as surely it was disassembled as much as possible by a professional shop.  As photos show the paint is gorgeous!!!!

The interior is beautiful as shown. The removable floor carpets (like a mat) could stand to be redone as drivers side and drivers rear are in bad shape. I have not looked into replacement of them, but they could easily be put back in and nice floor mats put over them to cover the aged/worn spots. The dash is without cracks, the sunroof works flawlessly and even the cruise control works!  The power locks are a bit tired and probably from little use. I drove the car about 80 miles today and it runs like nothing else I have ever driven. it was quite the luxury car of it's time. The V-8 sends this car down the road like you are in a smooth riding luxury train....  Hard to get used to the fact that 38 years ago a top of the line car that cost 3 times what a new Corvette cost, didn't come equipped with a right side outside mirror!!!

The hood insulation was removed years ago as pieces were falling off and burning, scaring the owner of an engine fire, and nothing has been replaced but think it to be a common item with some older cars. The lights work and car is very, very solid without dents, or abuse which is true of so many one owner old cars..... The dated factory radio was replaced at some time with a removable face, Alpine CD player and even the power antenna works!.

I am offering this car that has the miles of many 2 or 3 year old cars at $6599....   This car qualifies for historical plates and insurance for attending car shows or dry summer night drives or just use it as an inexpensive daily driver instead of paying $20,000 for a common day econo box and enjoy!

Available to ship worldwide and can keep stored inside secure awaiting your shipper that you arrange. I ask for a $500 paypal deposit at time of purchase and balance to be wired to me within 3 days. The title + documentation will be overnighted to you upon receipt of full good funds.

2016 Mercedes GLE Coupe priced from $66,025

Tue, Aug 4 2015

The folks at Mercedes-Benz are really keeping busy this year with the launch of a host of new products. Among them are a slate of crossovers, including the GLC and GLE-Class. While pricing for those two have already been revealed, the company has finally decided to spill the beans about the cost for the more rakish GLE Coupe. The 362-horepower, 2016 GLE450 AMG Coupe runs $66,025 after the obligatory $925 destination charge on all of MB's vehicles for the model year. That model comes with all-wheel drive, a nine-speed automatic, plus a heap of luxurious standard features. If you want more power, the 577-hp Mercedes-AMG GLE63 S costs $110,225 and includes a more aggressive exterior and Nappa leather interior. Both versions of the German brand's fastback, four-door CUVs arrive at dealers in August. If you're interested, Autoblog has already published full driving impressions for the whole GLE-Class family. While the GLE Coupe is among the newest members of the Mercedes lineup, the G-Class, one of the company's oldest, is seeing some improvements, too. The G550 for $120,825 now benefits from the C63 AMG-derived 4.0-liter V8 making 416 hp and 450 lb-ft, which are gains of 34 hp and 59 lb-ft over the outgoing V8. The SUV also gets styling tweaks, like revised bumpers and larger fender flares. Meanwhile, the G63 AMG offers 563 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque (an extra 27 hp but the same torque as before) for $140,825. The 621-hp G65 AMG tops the range for $218,825. MERCEDES-BENZ ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL 2016 MODEL YEAR PRICING AND PRODUCT UPDATES The unprecedented product offensive continues with a host of exciting new models August 04, 2015 - ATLANTA, Ga. -- Mercedes-Benz USA today announced pricing and product information for the GLC, G-Class, GLE (ML facelift), C450 AMG 4MATIC sedan, and GLE Coupe. This follows the 2016 Mercedes-Benz pricing and model year changes already announced in mid-June 2015. Arriving in dealerships in November 2015, the all-new GLC300 and GLC300 4MATIC represent a compelling new entry in a thriving SUV segment. With a starting MSRP of $38,950*(2WD) and $40,950* (4MATIC) respectively, the all-new GLC features a powerful 2.0 liter turbocharged inline 4 cylinder engine that generates 241hp and 273lb-ft of torque and a new 9-speed automatic transmission.

Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury SUV concept shown in leaked images

Fri, Apr 20 2018

Just days ago, we posted the interior teaser image Mercedes-Maybach released of its Ultimate Luxury concept due to be presented at the Beijing Motor Show. Now photos of the entire vehicle, inside and out, have leaked online courtesy of the manufacturer. Thanks to the concept's own microsite being live for a short while, we've gotten a good look of the concept. And it's not just a dressed-up GLS by any means, even if there might be a GLS platform underneath it all: It's a high-riding four door sedan with a clearly formed trunk instead of a traditional SUV shape. There's a big waterfall grille flanked by low, aggressive three-unit headlights, and the detailing is a combination of SUV cues and something a lot more luxurious. It's not easy to design a three-box sedan that's still recognizably an SUV. Inside, there's white leather and rose-gold detailing everywhere. But the big deal is the powertrain, which in the concept is all-electric. The all wheel drive is propelled with four electric motors, with a combined power output of 750 horsepower. The battery, said to be a flat underfloor design, is good for 80 kWh and an EPA range of over 200 miles, and the vehicle's top speed is limited to 250 km/h, or 155 mph. There's DC fast charging at up to 350kW, meaning that the range can be boosted by 60 miles in just five minutes, and induction charging is also available. All in all, the vehicle reminds us of the 2009 Lagonda Luxury Utility Vehicle concept, which was also created around a three-box sedan shape and also based on a Mercedes platform, GL-Class in that case. It did not yield a production version, but maybe the Vision Ultimate Luxury will.

Artist bent out of shape over ticketed warped truck sculpture

Tue, Jun 23 2015

If Germans and traffic cops have one thing in common, it's that they aren't necessarily known for their sense of humor. But at least one German parking enforcement officer had a laugh last week when they ticketed a sculpture of an impossible object. The infraction was for the 'Gross Violation of Physical Laws.' At first, Austrian artist Erwin Wurm was incensed that his sculpture, "Truck", which includes a Mercedes transporter MB100D truck curving up the side of a building, received a parking ticket, according to The Local. Wurm's work often features autos bent and twisted into unexpected shapes. He took to Facebook to express concern that he or the Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany, might be stuck with the 30-euro bill. However, the ticket was all in good fun. City officials and even the clerk's office were in on the joke. Karlsruhe mayor Frank Mentrup announced he would make sure the ticket was cleared, despite the illegal parking job. "We think it's great if the fine men of this city think for themselves artistically," a spokeswoman for the arts center told CityLab. This isn't the first gravity-defying auto to be used in a work of art. In London, a town with notoriously tricky parking, Vauxhall suspended a full-scale Corsa hatchback from a strip of curved tarmac. It hung around for a few days in February. No word on how many tickets that instillation wracked up. News Source: CityLabImage Credit: Twitter/Sham Jaff Weird Car News Mercedes-Benz Vauxhall parking Corsa
