1976 Mercedes 450 SEL 4.5l V8 Cool classic!! Low reserve!! This Classic Mercedes is a chance for you to own a restorable Classic at a fraction of the cost of a fully restored or original condition vehicle. It is a running vehicle with good bones ready for someone to take it to the next level or simply enjoy it as is. This was my project car that I was slowly working on but we have purchase a large older home and need to focus on its renovation so my other projects must go. I have done a lot of work to get the car running decently starting with fixing intake leaks by replacing the intake seals as well as the injector seals. professionally cleaned the injectors and replaced various hoses etc. I also replaced the Warm up regulator with a rebuilt unit. I also replaced the fuel pump and Fuel accumulator to cure the hard start problems it had when I got it. Always Starts up now. It also had the leaky exhaust pipes replaced and new catalytic converters installed. I replace the two front tires and the rear tires have maybe 30% tread left and will need replaced soon. The brakes are strong, steering is tight. The exterior is in good condition for its age. The paint job was done by the previous owner and is OK certainly not show worthy but looks pretty good. The interior is in decent shape. Seats were recovered by previous owner, headliner is intact and the sunroof works. Here are issues I know about Carpet is a bit thin and some of the vinyl is cracked here and there including dash. Passenger front window regulator is off track goes down but does not like to come up. Heater servo is non functional Vacuum locks do not work Antenna motor non functional A few areas of rust - drivers side jack point, rear passenger wheel well (see pics) all areas are repairable and the underbody, floor pans, etc are in good shape. Like I said this is a great starting point for someone to build a really nice car for a low reserve - Look around Ebay and see what these are going for. this item is listed locally as well and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells. Please ask any questions and Good Luck! |

Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.
Mercedes-Benz intros long-wheelbase E-Class for China
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Long-wheelbase sedans are a pretty hot commodity in China, and to keep up with the competition, Mercedes-Benz has introduced an extended version of the 2014 E-Class sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show. Audi, BMW, Volvo and even Cadillac offer extended versions of sedans specific to the Chinese market, and now the E-Class L, shown off in E400L guise, will give luxury sedan buyers in China yet another option.
Compared to the standard 2014 E-Class sedan, the new China-spec E-Class L has been stretched by 5.5 inches - all of which goes to the rear-seat passengers. According to an article on China View from earlier in the year, the market for chauffeur-driven cars is growing in the Asian nation, so automakers need long-wheelbase models like the E-Class L in order to fully compete. As for what powers this stretched E-Class, it's available in three models: the diesel E260L, the V6-powered E300L and the E400 Hybrid.
The redesigned E-Class and the all-new A-Class are just the first of 20 new Mercedes-Benz products that will be introduced into the Chinese auto market by 2015. Scroll down for the full press release on long-wheelbase E.
Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013How much extra value does previous celebrity ownership add to of a car? Really, there's no way to know until the car in question hits the auction block and bidders start raising their hands. In the case of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing you see above, the celebrity owner is none other than Clark Gable, who purchased it new. After Gable's death in 1960, the car changed hands a few times before settling with Charles Wood in 1975.
A high-dollar restoration was performed in 1989, and period accessories added by Gable himself were kept in place, including the Rudge knock-off wheels and Nardi steering wheel. Any Mercedes-Benz 300SL is worth a big chunk of money. In the case of Clark Gable's old Gullwing, the bidding stalled at $1.9 million here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. As one of the 5000-series cars, this 300SL carried a reserve, and a bit of after-the-fact dealmaking saw the car change hands for $1.85 million.
