Mercedes Benz 450 Sel 6.9 on 2040-cars
West Palm Beach, Florida, United States
|
I am selling my My 1979 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL 6.9 for sale to restore or for parts. this car has been in storage since 2003 in doors. the sad thing is that the car was stored in side but the car was backed in front of a window which unfortunately let the sun come in to the back window for 12+ years. the UV in the sun light destroyed the back seats from sitting so long in the same spot. This car is unique in that its a Me cum auction car which means that the car in 2003 was a show car with low mileage. I have some papers to verify this. I am the 2nd Titled owner of this car. because I am Moving to Seattle due to my health and have other cars to ship, I cannot bring this car with me so its being sold for a bargain price to move the car. I WILL NOT take anything below 4,500 and if anyone who knows these cars knows the that mileage and the condition warrant the sale much higher. so.. I will stop the bid if someone wants the car for 5,000 but once bidding starts I will not stop it until the end of the bidding. I have photos of the car in 2003 trim before the storage if needed.I have paper work that will be given showing the Me cum heritage.
The 6.9 was the top of the line car for Mercedes Benz from 1977-1979. it has the 417cc liter dry sump racing engine that MB also used in its limousines make this car the fastest Sedan in the world for many years. Only 1,700 were imported to the united states and 517 (figures vary) were made in 1979 making this car rare indeed. this peculiar car was at one time a show car but unfortunately the car was stored in a barn and forgotten when the Original owner died and only recently has been brought out to the day light. needs: car has not been started in several years though at the time of storage it was driven in and parked with NO mechanical issues. the car as you can see has settled ( as they all do with this type of suspension) the engine does turn over but has not been started by a certified MB mechanic, I agree with him that we would recommend draining the gas tank and maybe cleaning the spark plugs before starting. there should be no reason that the car would not start as there are no mechanical issues at the time of initial storage. the worst on the car would be the back leather seats as seen in the pictures, there are some rust bubbles on the paint particularly on the hood and near the sun roof but other wise the car is in good condition retaliative to its age .Once restored this car will bring easily between 15-32,000 depending of the level of restoration. At any given time there are maybe 1 or no 6.9's listed on Ebay or any other online source. this car cannot be driven home due to the tune up I would give it to get it running ( yes some have asked..) if there are any other questions please ask, and bid accordingly 40748 2709c and good luck! |

Firing of M-B boss upheld
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.
2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec gets 33 mpg, priced from $38,950*
Tue, 30 Apr 2013It's been more than a year since we first saw the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, but it looks like the compact diesel crossover is finally starting to roll into dealerships. Those wanting to buy a diesel GLK will only have to pony up an extra $1,500 over a base, gas-powered GLK350, as the GLK250's starting price is listed at $38,590 (*not including $905 destination charge).
The turbocharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel produces 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and Mercedes-Benz has also provided some fuel economy numbers for this model, with claimed EPA estimates of 24 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway. There is no listing for the GLK250 on the EPA's website yet, but the figures represent significant increase over the GLK350's lackluster 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway figures, which are for the rear-wheel drive model. The GLK250 comes standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system - a $2,000 option on GLK350 - meaning that if you want an all-wheel-drive version of the 2013 GLK, it's actually cheaper to opt for the diesel model. Head over to the Mercedes-Benz site for the full 2013 GLK-Class configurator.
