I am selling my Well Loved '79 USA Mercedes Benz 6.9. She is in very good condition for her age. And she has only 79,000 original, one owner miles! Clean interior and near perfect dash and rear package tray. Original 6.9 books. A/C blows ICE COLD! She has 5 new OEM Hydrosphere Suspension 'balls', That was an expensive $3,000+ job... She rides and drives like new when she first left the showroom.... The MSRP was somewhere around $70K + US in 1979 Dollars when new. These special 6.9's where all manufactured on their own exclusive assembly line as opposed to the standard 450SEL's. Suspension raises and lowers just as it should. She has a brand NEW (not re-done) OEM Radiator for $2,100, All New Belts, Brakes, Hoses and Vacuum lines and a complete service and inspection from the best MBZ 6.9 mechanic in L.A. He states that it is one of the best maintained and driving 6.9's he's seen. These cars are very expensive to properly maintain and most were not as their values fell. This car is 100% properly sorted and serviced... I would have no problem driving this car to New York and back L.A. and neither would you...I will be listing on eBay Friday

It still has the original Becker AM/FM cassett radio that works great and playes my old cassetts. Brand New Tires... A very fresh 12 quart oil {remember 6.9 are all DRY SUMP cars and take that much oil when done correctly) along with a fresh 12 quart w/filter tray service (You use 12 [again] when you do it properly and drain the torque-converter ) All power windows work great along with the sun-roof .... None of the typical 'driveshaft', or trany issues what so ever.... Very fast, powerful 150 MPH 'Sleeper' of a collectible automobile!!!! It will always be one of the Worlds' Fastest Production Sedans ever produced... She does have a a few small paint imperfections you can barely see in the photos. Interested parties may call or email me. My mechanic, George of Prestige German Auto in Thousand Oaks, is available to speak with as well... 

The exterior color is Silver w/Black leather inside. She is a ONE OWNER rust free 6.9L BIG BLOCK factory HOT ROD. 6.9 equals a little over 417 cubic inches of hand built Mercedes Benz / AMG perfection... 

I am a privet Car Nut/Collector and buy and/or sell one or two a year. Over the last 5 years on eBay I have sold two of my V-12 Ferrari's, a 65 Mustang GT Convertible to Australia, A 70 Lotus Europa to Holland, my beloved '88 Porsche Turbo Cab to Belgaum {Ben, I want that car BACK!!!}, and my '68 Camaro RS/SS Convertible to a great guy here in the USA...All with 100% Positive Feedback on eBay...

Please note that in the interest of saftey and large number of calls I've been receiving from Europe about this 6.9, I just installed a set of 4 brand new Yokohama Avid Touring Tires in the correct original, factory specified size of 205/70/14. These have a higher speed rating than what I had on the car... And are 9 years newer!

Mercedes sketches new DTM C-Class

Mon, Aug 31 2015

Mercedes-AMG has two racecars on tap for 2016: the AMG GT3 for FIA GT3 sports car racing and the Mercedes-AMG DTM racer in the German Touring Car series. We have our first sketches of the latter, based on the 503-horsepower C63 Coupe, just lower, wider, and meaner. Naturally, a different motor goes in the DTM car, series regulations prohibiting turbocharging and dictating a 4.0-liter, naturally-aspirated V8 with 90-degree vee angle and a maximum of 500 hp. In 2017 the regulations will change to mandate 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged motors with about 600 hp in a Class One car. The switch will align DTM regs with Japan's Super GT and IMSA here in the US, so they can move between series' with minimal changes. That has the possibility of at least doubling the number of automakers on the grid – the German three and the Japanese three at once – and enabling a World Cup series held in the off-season between 2017 and 2018. Since 2000 Mercedes has won six Driver's Championships in DTM and nine Constructor's Championships, but it hasn't taken home a trophy since 2010. With six races to go in the season it has a team in second place, six points behind the leader. The press release below outlines the new aims. Mercedes-AMG DTM Team present first outlines of 2016 race car - Looking ahead to the 2016 season: How the new DTM car fielded by the Mercedes-AMG DTM Team will look - Ulrich Fritz: "Our aim with this vehicle is, of course, to continue the Mercedes-Benz success story in the DTM." Stuttgart, Aug 29, 2015 - The 2015 DTM season reaches its climax in September. But even before the final race weekends of the year, the Mercedes-AMG DTM Team are providing an insight into what lies ahead for the race series, revealing the first designs of the car that they will enter for the 2016 campaign. The 2016 DTM car to be deployed by the Mercedes-AMG DTM team follows on from successful predecessors that include the most successful car in DTM history – the AMG Mercedes C-Class with which Mercedes-AMG drivers secured 85 victories in 159 races. "The new Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe will again set new standards for driving dynamics and design. So, the vehicle provides the ideal basis for our DTM car," said Head of Mercedes-AMG DTM Ulrich Fritz. "I'm already looking forward to seeing the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM compete in 2016.

AMG-powered Aston Martins still years away

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

After flirting for several years, Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin have finally tied the knot. Just don't expect to see any offspring to result from the union for at least three or four years.
This according to Auto Express, which spoke with Daimler chief Dr. Dieter Zetsche at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. AE reports that a new range of AMG-developed turbocharged V8s, transmissions and electrical components will make their way into the successors to the current V8 Vantage and DB9, but that these models are still a few years off.
Purists might balk at the thought of a Mercedes-powered Aston holding true to the brand's heritage. But while David Brown (for whom the DB range is named) may have steered clear of shoehorning in Detroit muscle into his cars, the entirety of the company's current range is powered by engines borrowing technology from Ford, and that arrangement seems to have worked well for Aston until now. And if you're still skeptical, look no further than Pagani and its AMG-sourced engines and you should have all the proof you need that the new relationship between Daimler and Aston could be a success.

Mercedes-Benz GLE gets official before NY Show

Thu, Mar 26 2015

Hot off the debut of the GLE-Class Coupe just a few months ago at the Detroit Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz is now all set to unveil that SUV's more utilitarian sibling. The new GLE-Class will offers buyers a model that's a little more traditional looking, while still bringing heaps of available power and luxury to the table. The new GLE-Class replaces the ML-Class in Mercedes' newly renamed lineup. At the front, there's a new nose with a clear family resemblance to the Coupe. It sports big openings all over, and standard models wear an attractive two-bar grille or a just a single crosspiece for AMG trims. Once your eye moves past the A-pillar, the design becomes more of an evolution of the current ML. The prominent C-pillar and wraparound rear glass are still present, while the creases running down the profile appear a little sharper and more pronounced. As you might expect, the interior for the GLE-Class is practically identical to its Coupe counterpart. That means drivers get a thick, multi-function steering wheel to hang on to, and there's a large infotainment display poking up above the dashboard in the center. A center-console-mounted dial controller is found below. When it comes time for buyers to pick their GLE-Class, they're going to have a long list of powertrains to choose from. Lowest in terms of horsepower is the GLE300d 4MATIC with a 2.1-liter, four-cylinder diesel making 201 hp and 369 pound-feet of torque. Next, there is the gasoline-fueled GLE350 with a 3.5-liter V6 making 302 hp and 273 lb-ft, and it's also available with 4Matic. The GLE400 4Matic uses a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 to make 329 hp and 354 lb-ft of twist, and the GLE550e 4Matic adds a plug-in hybrid to that mill to bring total output to 436 hp and 479 lb-ft. Finally, for those that really want some power underfoot, the Mercedes-AMG GLE63 and GLE63 S boast twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8s putting down 550 hp and 577 hp, respectively. The standard models all use versions of the 7G-tronic gearbox, and AMG models get the Speedshift MCT seven-speed. We look forward to getting a good look at the GLE-Class at its grand unveiling at the New York Auto Show on April 1. The posh SUVs start arriving at dealers a few months later in August. Buyers wanting the GLE550e 4Matic have to wait just a little longer until it comes along in mid-September.
