Mercedes Benz 450 SEL bought in Germany in 1977 by the ambassador (Charles Valdez)  to the Vatican from the Philippines appointed by Dictator Ferdanian Marcos. This car was then transported with the ambassador to California and then sent to the Philippines with him. I guess he decided the philippines was not for him so he and the car were sent to Hawaii where he spent a few years only to decide to move again to central Florida. As you can see this car has spent more miles on a boat in a container that on the road but still rides like a Mercedes. I found the car while doing a job for the 2nd owner (the cousin of the ambassador) who is now 80 years old and decided he would part with it so I decided I would list it for him. He drives it about once a month and his last trip in it was a couple of years age when he and 3 buddies went to Georgia to play golf. Car has always worked well. Everything is oroginal. No rust, so clear coat peel you can see in a picture, Trunk seal is leaking as I found out when I washed it, but the car has been inside a garage its whole like so its never been an issue. Its a beautiful example of a powerful sedan. The trunk lid seems to be the worst of the paint where the clear coat is missing other than that the paint is really nice for its age. All the lenses are original and look like new (no sun) All gauges work including clock, car starts right up and tyranny shifts perfectly but then again its only 67K miles on a mercedes benz. Price will start low with no reserve. Car is in Orlando Florida.

Note: Car has exhaust leak, not a bother but in the interest of telling all.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe

Thu, 31 Jan 2013


Mercedes-Benz upgraded its SLS flagship Coupe and Roadster for the 2013 model year, and the changes are marked with them new "GT" nomenclature. Both SLS models arrive with a retuned naturally aspired 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque (the horses are up from 563, but the torque remains the same) mated to a revised seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch gearbox. Rounding out the mechanical upgrades is a redeveloped AMG two-mode adaptive suspension. Physically, the revised models are differentiated by their new "GT" badging, darkened headlight/taillight buckets, red brake calipers, unique wheel colors and high gloss finish on the front grille, exterior mirrors and hood/fender fins. Inside the cabin are new red seatbelts, Alcantara upholstery and contrasting red stitching.
As it is nearly impossible to experience the aluminum gullwing beast on public roads, Mercedes invited out to Southern California's Willow Springs to wring out the 2013 SLS GT Coupe on a racing circuit.

Audi RS6 Avant and Mercedes-AMG E63 S drag race for Top Gear

Thu, Apr 14 2016

Sometimes the kids are late for school, and you need a wagon to get them there in a hurry. In its latest drag race, Top Gear finds out which is the quicker high-performance family hauler: the Audi RS6 Avant or the Mercedes-AMG E63 S. The specs suggest this race should be quite close at the finish line. The RS6 has a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 552 horsepower, but the E63 S is a little more powerful with 577 hp from a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8. However, the Audi has a traction advantage from the all-wheel drive system, whereas the Mercedes only spins its rear wheels. Pick your favorite, and then watch the video to see if the similar numbers translate to a photo finish in the real world. Related Video:
