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)

Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid
Tue, 16 Sep 2014You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
