63,117 Mile One Family Owner(s). 1st Owner 34 years until passing. The Vehicle spent it's entire life in semi arid Colorado and was used for Sunday brunches and special occasions only, weather permitting. Kept in a heated garage when not in use and has NEVER spent a night outside nor was it ever smoked in.

Complete factory equipment vehicle to include Sunroof, Becker Mexico Cassette and 5 factory Alloy wheels. Complete set of books, tool kit (red  canvas pouch is flawed), factory 1st Aid Kit and a Car cover are included.

Performs as a well maintained 63K mile Mercedes vehicle should with everything operational to include the clock. Climate Control blows cold on demand.

Vehicle is 100% near flawless and original except for mechanical wear items and a Mercedes warranty paint job in 1980 for two stage checking (very common problem for Mercedes of that era with metallic paint) The paint job has endured well with no flaws or fading and excellent luster. There are (2) 1" light scratches that have been touched up - no chips or other flaws. NEVER any body metal damage. The undercarriage shows as a 3 year old car would.

The engine compartment and hood under padding are totally original and have never been cleaned. There is no evidence of improper parts or repairs.

The trunk compartment is totally original with the jack having never been used. The supple rubber mat and carpeting are original and flawless. The spare is a full size Alloy wheel with a new Michelin. There are no signs of surface rust or staining. (picture shows what appears to be rust staining - it is not but rather upholstery cement or ?) The trunk has never been cleaned other than by vacuum.

The 100% Original Interior Leather, Vinyl panels, Wood, Headliner, Bright Metal parts, Sun visors and Carpeting are flawless. The leather is supple with no wear marks or scuffs. The seat rolls and seams are intact.

I am the son in law of the original owner. After his passing, I had the vehicle shipped to NJ and had the following work done prior to offering it for sale:  Safety items checked - All mechanical and accessories checked for proper operation - Fluids changed - All filters changed - Rubber fuel lines and fuel pump replaced - 5 New Michelin tires in the proper size - New battery & a wax job. The vehicle did not really need most of the aforementioned but I wanted nothing to apologize for.

CARFAX has no history of the vehicle due to it's age. Sophisticated scrutiny will verify all representations.

This vehicle can be driven anywhere with complete confidence.  If you elect to fly and drive, I will provide transportation from Newark (EWR) Airport.

Please feel free to call me with questions at 908 872 7356 (8:am to 11:pm EDT X 7)

Mercedes giving SL a nose job

Tue, Dec 9 2014

Mercedes tends to keep its SL roadster around longer than most models. The previous fifth-generation machine was launched in 2001, underwent a facelift in 2009 and stuck around until 2012. That's when the current model was introduced, and before it's replaced, Benz is expected to roll out another facelifted version. And that seems to be exactly what we're looking at here. Expected to arrive sometime in 2016 as a 2017 model, the updated SL will likely feature revised styling front and rear (along with updated interior equipment). This prototype appears to be wearing headlights from the new S-Class Coupe, which don't fit precisely, but then Daimler still has a couple of years to get everything just right.

Mercedes-Benz USA confirms relocation to Atlanta

Tue, Jan 6 2015

Porsche, you no longer have Atlanta to yourself. Mercedes-Benz USA has confirmed that it will be moving its corporate headquarters (shown above) from Montvale, NJ, to Georgia's most populous city. This is the second high-profile corporate relocation in the past year, as Mercedes follows in the footsteps of Toyota, which announced its relocation from California to Texas back in April (Subaru also announced a relocation, but it was just four miles away from its old offices). According to the German company, executives and their staff will relocate to an interim facility in the city's Central Perimeter until a brand-new, long-term home is completed in 2017. Around 1,000 employees will be impacted by the move, although Mercedes didn't mention if any employees would be let go as a result of the relocation. The company won't be abandoning New Jersey completely, as it will retain "several operational areas" in both Montvale and Robbinsville, NJ. As Mercedes USA CEO Steve Cannon explains, there are a number of good reasons for the company's relocation. "Atlanta is a premier city which places us closer to our ever-growing Southeast customer base, our port in Brunswick, Georgia, and to Mercedes-Benz US International, our Alabama manufacturing facility, which accounts for half of the vehicles we sell here in the US," Cannon said in a statement. "For our employees, Atlanta offers a strong quality of life, terrific schools and wonderful cultural and recreational opportunities." Mercedes-Benz USA Announces Move of Corporate Headquarters to Atlanta Several operational areas to remain in New Jersey including Parts Distribution Center and Regional Office January 06, 2015 - MONTVALE, N.J. Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) today announced that it will relocate its corporate headquarters to Atlanta, Georgia, in a move designed to better serve its growing customer base and strengthen the company's position for long-term, sustainable growth. MBUSA executives and staff will relocate from its primary facility in Montvale, New Jersey, to a temporary facility in Atlanta's Central Perimeter on an interim basis. The company will construct a new, state-of-the-art headquarters expected to be completed in early 2017. MBUSA plans to begin moving employees starting in July 2015. The move, which will affect approximately 1,000 employees, will be phased to help minimize any disruption to business operations. Several operational areas will remain in both Montvale and Robbinsville, New Jersey.
