1978 Mercedes Benz 450sl roadster. 93,600 original miles. Odometer has 7 digits and there is a zero in front. So we know it is the true mileage. No battery and is currently non-oped. Ran when parked over 10 years ago where it has sat in a driveway under cover. As far as we know it might just need a battery to start it up. Has an aftermarket Hitachi am/fm cassette player installed that comes with the manual. Automatic Transmission. This a convertible roadster. Unsure if there is a soft top. There is definitely a hard top. All glass looks real good. The interior is beautiful. No tears or rips, or stains on the seats. Dash has no cracks. The bottom part of the armrest on the drivers door is loose. Other then that it looks real good. Body is real straight too. The running light on the passenger is busted, but does have a replacement light that comes with the car. Some moderate rust bubbles on top of both headlights. Front bumper on right by bumper guard has some dings and the right front bumper guard itself is cracked. Couldn't get the hood latch to engage to open the hood. So therefore no shots of the motor. There was also a small rust bubble on the right rear quarter panel and some small rust bubbles by the antenna. Comes with 2 spare tires and rims plus an extra rim. All Mercedes. All the rims including the ones on the car are somewhat weathered. The tires look decent and hold air. Also getting back to the interior the passenger seat does not seem to engage when you are trying to push it forward to get in the back seat.. The reserve on this vehicle is based on completed auctions on Ebay plus a parts car price stated in 2014 Collector's Car Price Guide. Even though this car is more a project car then a parts car.. This is also a cash in person auction. The other option is direct cash deposit or bank wire transfer. No exceptions on this. Must be completed in full in 3 business days. After which time you have 2 weeks to pick up the vehicle. Please have current updated contact information on Ebay. I expect people to have a working reachable cell phone and to contact me within 24 hours of auction's close. If you have little or no feedback and don't contact me before you bid I will cancel and block your bid immediately. Please feel free to ask any and all questions before you bid. I appreciate you visiting my auction. Thank you good luck and happy bidding! Also in closing there is a clear title in hand that comes with the car. And of course it is a California title. Since the car is not running it is being sold as parts car and will not come with a smog certificate for California buyers. Thanx again!

2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked
Wed, 23 Apr 2014We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.
Mercedes SL backs into Ferrari 458 Speciale while parking
Mon, Aug 8 2016There are a lot of people with the money to buy nice cars, but an absolute inability to drive them. And that's how this Mercedes-Benz SL ended up beached on the nose of a Ferrari 458 Speciale. It happened at a Virginia cars and coffee event, and that inability to drive we mention doesn't refer to the poor Ferrari owner. According to the YouTube description, the driver of the 380SL was attempting to parallel park when she landed on top of the hot 458. But since the video doesn't start until the Benz has landed, we only have the video uploader's word. But don't click away yet – the Ferrari's owner returned to the scene. Despite a hint of adult language, he's far more calm than we would be in that situation. That doesn't mean he's not angry, decrying the crash as "the dumbest thing I've ever seen." We agree, especially when you notice space between the 458 Speciale and the Nissan 300ZX in front of it. This was by no means a tight or difficult place to park, even without George Constanza's god-given parallel parking skills. Even a semi-competent driver could have maneuvered a vehicle far larger than a 15-foot-long roadster between the two cars with room to spare.

Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche 911 hybrid possible, Ecocruise EVs coming soon
Thu, Oct 9 2014The next-generation Porsche 911 could use hybrid power, according to Porsche CEO Matthias Muller. "There is no reason against it and we will see if we have some reasons to do it," Muller says of the model due around 2018. He also suggests that hybrid technology could eventually make its way into all Porsche model lines, but that the Boxster and Cayman would first get four-cylinder versions. Muller cites carbon emissions and "sportiness" as reasons to use hybrid power, pointing to the 918 Spyder as a good example of both. Read more at Car Advice. A B-Class F-Cell from the Mercedes-Benz fleet has hit a benchmark of 300,000 kilometers (about 186,411 miles) in everyday use. The achievement won Daimler an "f-cell award" for hydrogen fuel cell technology and innovation. The 300+ fuel cell cars in the Daimler fleet have driven a collective 9 million-plus kilometers (more than 5.5 million miles). The information gathered from this testing is being used to improve development as the company looks toward expanding commercialization of fuel cell cars. "We have clearly demonstrated that the fuel cell electric drive is ready for the road," says Professor Herbert Kohler of Daimler. "The last hurdles we will overcome in intensive cross-industry and cross-border teamwork." Read more in the press release below. A company called Ecocruise has new EVs coming out soon. Along with electric scooters and service vehicles, Ecocruise develops street-legal neighborhood electric vehicles like the three-wheeled EZip-3, the four-wheeled EZip-4, and the fun looking Cruser Sport (see a prototype in the video below). The EVs are scheduled to go on sale in January of 2015, which is right around the corner. Ecocruise was started after the founder of Kasea Motorsports decided to switch to electric vehicles with the goal of offering providing affordable emissions-free driving. Learn more about Ecocruise and its vehicles at the company's website. The new EU Fuel Quality Directive (FQD) does little to discourage dirty fuels like tar sands and coal-to-liquid, says Transport & Environment (T&E). The FQD requires suppliers to reduce greenhouse gas intensity for transport fuel in the EU by six percent by 2020. The much-delayed FQD doesn't do as much as it could, though, say critics, and it doesn't label dirtier fuel sources as such despite the urging of scientists. T&E, an organization focused on cleaning up EU transport, blames Canada, the US and Big Oil.
