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.

Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is Affalterbach's first big leap into the little pond

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The recent history of AMG is turning out amped-up versions of Mercedes-Benz offerings that would hardly ever be mistaken for their sedate counterparts. Sure, you'd need to pay attention to pick a G-Class from the G63 AMG, but dual side-pipes are a quick giveaway. The Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is not only a new era in Affalterbach's attention on smaller cars, it is probably also the most subtle transformation we can think of in the line-up.
Low and chunky enough in standard guise to make a sporting impression, the aesthetic makeover is confined to black trim around the lower rim of the hatch, black wheels with red brake calipers and a single, rectangular exhaust tip on either side of the diffuser. It's easier to make a positive ID inside, where the flat-bottomed steering wheel, red seatbelts and red-rimmed details say, "You know what I am..."
If the car is running, though, it won't take but a second. The 2.0-liter turbo spitting 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet will grumble through a sport exhaust at idle, and bellow through the same on it's way to a 0-60 time of less than 4.5 seconds. And if you need something that looks a little harder - and you want those quad pipes - then the A45 AMG Edition 1 is the treasure you seek. There's a press release below for all the info you'll need until the hot hatch goes on sale in Germany later this year, and photos for the rest of us while we wait to find out if we'll get a chance to buy it.

Maybach officially discontinues all models for 2013

Tue, 14 Aug 2012

The word "Maybach" has joined the long list of synonyms for the word "kaput." Mercedes-Benz released the price list for the 2013 models of its super-luxury sedans, with the price column simply stating "Discontinued" for each one of them.
The 2012 models, should there be any left for 11th-hour buyers, maintain the increased MSRPs that Daimler slapped on them late last year after it was known the brand would be terminated next year. But you might still be able to wrangle that $100,000 rebate if you ask nicely, or in Russian, or have Rick Ross ask for you.
It shouldn't be too long before we see the ultimate version of the next generation S-Class, the S600 Pullman, that will replace Maybach. Intriguingly, it's said the Pullman will be offered with every S-Class engine, even the four-cylinder diesel.

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
