I am letting go of my pride and joy, its a beautiful 1987 Mercedes Benz 420SEL. Over $10,000 went into this cars' sympathy restoration done by a Mercedes Specialist shop here in the Upstate. I have records to go with the car, as well as the original manual and first aid kit! Car has too many new items to list for sure. But some big important things I'll mention; it has gorgeous new metallic flake black paint, all new suspension and brakes, tires, new cylinder heads, AC system, and you'll have to go over the restoration papers for the rest! The car performs flawlessly, its a true joy to drive and be seen in. Its a real head turner! The body is in superb condition. There is some hazing on the front and rear chrome bumper covers, as well as paint fade on top edges of the grey bumpers. The bottom two tone trim is all original. The top, black portion, is what was painted. The interior is also all original, not in show room condition for sure, but its still very nice and comfortable for its age. The aftermarket radio does not fit as it should, and unfortunately I do not have the factory radio. The back seat is near mint. Everything does work as it should except the multi-zone lumbar. Upgraded steering wheel to a true OEM Mercedes all real leather steering wheel. So its not falling apart like some W126 steering wheels.
This car will get you anywhere you need to be with superior comfort and class. I cant express enough how well this car performs to be an 87. Buyer will surly fall in love with it like I have! Please come take a look at it, I will not deliver the car, or bring it to you. All viewers must come look at this car in person. You won't be disappointed! Must drive to appreciate! It is important if you have any questions, please contact me at 1864-541-2717 or shoot me a email at cutlass26@gmail.com; mention mercedes in the title please. Thanks for reading! I have the rights to end the auction at any time as the car is also for sale locally. Price is set a tad under NADA value at low retail sense it takes a very special person to know and properly enjoy everything about the beautiful W126 chassis Mercedes! The sale is AS-IS, no returns, I am telling you everything I am aware of! Perfect car for a Mercedes enthusiast that needs a daily driver. |

New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe spied in revealing state of dress
Tue, 19 Feb 2013During a product briefing earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz told us that 2013 would be the "year of the S-Class." Makes sense, too, since the flagship Mercedes is so very close to finally showing its production-ready face. But the high-tech saloon isn't the only S-Class to talk about this year - quite the contrary. Seen here in decidedly revealing camouflage, the new S-Class Coupe will be joining its four-door compadre in the not-too-distant future, as well.
When it launches, the S-Class Coupe will officially do away with the CL-Class nomenclature. This doesn't come as a huge shock. After all, when the new E-Class coupe and convertible were launched, it officially marked the end of the long-running CLK-Class designation.
Thanks to the interesting camouflage seen here, we have a very good glimpse at how the S-Class Coupe will look when all of the molding and swirly paper are peeled off. Rakish body lines pulled from the CLS-Class meet a much more dynamic front fascia. Out back, there are horizontal taillamps rather than the vertical units used on the current car, and the whole package seems very svelte. Our spy photographer even posits that this will be "the best-looking car from Mercedes-Benz in ages."
Daimler names Bernd Pischetsrieder to supervisory board
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Some executives in the automotive industry stay with one company for their entire careers, while others bounce from one to the other, often leaving their indelible mark on each automaker at which they serve. Bob Lutz is certainly an example of the latter. So is Lee Iacocca, having presided over Ford and later charing the Chrysler board. Carlos Tavares was chief operating officer of Renault before being nominated as chief executive at PSA Peugeot Citroën. But as far as the Germans go, nobody's jumped from the leadership of one automaker to the next quite like Bernd Pischetsrieder - especially now that he's been named to the supervisory board of Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler.
An engineer by training, Pischetsrieder started his career at BMW in 1973, eventually rising to the office of CEO after twenty years. There he remained until 1999, only to be dismissed after orchestrating BMW's takeover of the Rover Group (of which only the Mini brand remains in the company's portfolio, the other brands having been sold off after his dismissal).
The next year he was named chairman of Volkswagen's Seat brand, and rose to the chairmanship of the entire Volkswagen Group two years later. Despite a largely successful four-year tenure (that gave birth, incidentally, to the Bugatti Veyron), disagreements with supervisory board chairman Ferdinand Piëch saw him leave the helm at VW AG, focusing his attention on the Scania truck division. He's since been touted as a potential chief executive for Opel and for Continental, but neither potential was apparently realized.
Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]
Sun, 28 Apr 2013We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.
