My wife and I just bought our first house, and we no longer have the garage space for it. (And this car deserves to be stored inside, as it always has been). If you aren't familiar with these cars, the 560 SEL is the long wheelbase version of the Mercedes W126 platform, and offers the biggest engine available at the time with the most interior space. This is the car that you would see in the movies driven by Arab Oil Sheiks and foreign diplomats, with the flags on the front bumper. (No, I don't have flags for it, but I've been tempted). The car is powered by a 5.0 Liter V8 with fuel injection, and it has abundant power to move very quickly, even for a heavy car. There is no comparison between this powertrain and the old Mercedes Benz diesels, which achieve 0-60 "Eventually." If you would like to do more research about the Mercedes W126 platform, check out the Wikipedia page for Mercedes W126. (eBay would not allow me to include the link). This car is in beautiful shape, and is one of the most desirable color combinations you can find. The exterior is "Black Pearl Metallic," which changes colors in the light from black, to dark grey, to deep brown. The interior is finished in a light brown "Palomino" leather. I purchased this from an older Japanese gentleman in San Francisco in 2012. He inherited the car from his father, who received it as a gift from a wealthy friend in Southern California. This car is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and I receive compliments on it frequently. I currently only drive the car occasionally on the weekends when the weather is nice, however I would have no hesitation to get in this car and drive it across the country, or use it as a daily commuter. I have lots of documentation for the car, including the original brochure from the dealership where it was ordered. I have the CarFax report from when I purchased the car in 2012. If you would like a newer report, feel free to run a VIN history report. This Mercedes has a number of unique features, many of which it pioneered when the car was released in 1987. Among them, are: -Power reclining rear seats -Automated Climate Control -Heated front and rear seats -Hill-hold, prevents the car from rolling back without needing to hold your foot on the brake. -Two different horn tones (City and Country) -Digital external temperature display Cosmetically, the car is in very good shape. The biggest blemish is that the chrome on the rear bumper is peeling. There are a few door nicks here and there, but they are minor. Mechanically, the only potential issue I'm aware of is that the steering wheel sometimes vibrates when on the freeway, which I believe means that it will probably need new tie rods at some point. I have had all maintenance performed by "Junipero Serra Auto" in Daly City, (A Mercedes Benz and Porsche specialty shop). The car is virtually stock, with the exception of lightly tinted windows, and an Alpine stereo with iPod connectivity. (Both were done by the previous owner). The only addition I made was to replace the stock floor mats with new plush mats, that are very high quality. The car still has the original California "Sunset" license plates, which you can no longer obtain. I am a car enthusiast, (Much to my wife's dismay), and I take pride in keeping my cars well maintained and looking beautiful. Please ask any questions, or come see the car in person if you are interested. The car is located in Pacifica, California. |

Sunday Drive: A new Rambo Lambo takes center stage
Sun, Dec 10 2017Surprise! Autoblog readers love fast cars. Doesn't matter what shape; doesn't matter what size. As long as it's got big power, wicked acceleration, and ludicrous speed, you're interested. Take, for instance, the brand-new Lamborghini Urus. It's got a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 sending 641 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. It hits 62 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds, and has a top speed of 189.5 mph. Ludicrous speed? Check. And although you'd be hard pressed to draw a line straight back from the upcoming Urus to the old, off-road-ready LM002, at least you can say that Lamborghini does have a history of producing overpowered SUVs. A 5.2-liter V12 engine producing 444 horsepower and borrowed from the Countach certainly qualifies as big power, especially considering this was in the 1980s and '90s. A prime example just sold for nearly half a million bucks. Moving along to more traditional sportscars, we got a sneak peek at the next Porsche 911's interior, thanks to some intrepid spy photographers. And we spy with our little eyes some major changes to the quintessential German sportscar. Finally, we round out this Sunday Drive with two First Drive reports. Both are German, but past that, they couldn't be more different. Either way, ludicrous speed is all but guaranteed by either one. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog for all the latest automotive news that's fit to print.

Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
Mercedes warms up the SLC
Sat, Jun 6 2015The Mercedes-Benz SLC moniker was once thought to be revived for the vehicle that became the Mercedes-AMG GT, but the German luxury brand is now rumored to use the name for its upcoming refresh for the SLK. Our spies recently snapped some shots of the updated hardtop convertible testing while not wearing much camouflage. These photos suggest not to expect any significant changes in styling for the refreshed SLK. The lower portion of the front bumper has a single center opening, and the grille gets the latest iteration of Mercedes' single-bar design. The camouflage offers more concealment at the rear, but there's clearly something to hide. The exhausts are better incorporated in the shape, as well. Mercedes is also expected to update the SLK's powertrains with the refresh into the SLC. There could be an AMG Sport version to slot between the regular model and full-bore AMG. Like the C450 AMG Sport, this one might use the brand's 3.0-liter, twin-turbo V6 with 362 horsepower. Related Video:
