1972 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman.

Here is a real find; an unrestored, sold new, and lived all its' life in California MBZ 600 LWB. This car even has its' original California issued blue license plates, we were able to peel back the yearly registration stickers which went back to its' 1974 first registration sticker. The car is rust free and solid, the floors have no rust. Even the area behind the rear wheels that are prone to rust on the best of these cars is original and rust free. The car looks to have had one older repaint.

The car starts easily, sounds good and idles well and does not smoke. The car goes through the gears and the brakes stop the car. We purchased the car around five years ago, and since then had the plugs wires, distributor cap and dual points changed; the gas tank and lines were cleaned and we replaced the fuel injection unit (from renowned Pacific Fuel Injection in San Francisco). We also replaced all four suspension bags (purchased from Mercedes Benz Classic Center in Irvine CA.....supposedly the last few left).

The tachometer, speedometer/odometer, gauges and dash lights work...the gas gauge does not work. The exterior lights/turn signals work. The interior courtesy lights and glove box light work; the ambient temperature gauge works. The clock and radio do not work. The heating & a/c will need to be checked/serviced. The interior is original, the seats have normal wear and have never been refinished/dyed. Overall the car is original/ un-restored and is in such condition.

The hydraulic system that controls the windows, center divider, moon-roof, cowl vent and trunk all work. In the past when we installed the air bags, the rear of the car would go up and stay up, the front bags would go up and after about three days go down to half height and stay there. Right now, the air bags fill with air but the car does not rise above the level as seen in the pictures. The tires that the car had been sitting on had a lot of tread but were old and dry cracked, so to avoid any complications/issues we just installed a brand new set of tires....the spare is still a BF Goodrich polyester tubeless tire.

In California, vehicles over ten years old are exempt from mileage disclosures. However, as you can see the mileage on the odometer shows 27,489; on the driver doorjamb there is a sticker from the mid seventies that says that odometer was repaired and replaced at 50,865. So, we can assume the car has been driven at least a combination of those two amounts.

If you have any questions other than "what's your reserve/buy it now price", you are welcome to contact us through ebay; or call my cell# 559-801-8623 anytime between 10am-6pm PST (California time; please calculate time difference, if any, before calling). Thanks, Bill.

This vehicle is sold as-is and as equipped. However, you are welcome to come see and/or have the car inspected before the end of the auction. Payment is due in full within seven days of the end of the auction. California buyers and all in-state sales are subject to sales tax, doc. & lic fees. In California, vehicles over ten years old are sold miles 'exempt'. Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer.

2015 Italian Grand Prix is smoke, mirrors, stalls, and stewards

Mon, Sep 7 2015

For the first day-and-a-half of the Italian Formula One Grand Prix weekend, everything went to blueprint: Mercedes in front, Ferrari lurking, everyone else scrambling in their usual orders behind. Then qualifying came, and someone stirred the pot. About the only thing we expected was for Lewis Hamilton to put his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole position, the 11th time he's done it this year. He did it with a brand-new specification engine, one that represents not only an evolution in components, but also in power unit philosophy. Kimi Raikkonen lines up in second. It's been a long time since we read those words; the Iceman hasn't been on the first row since the 2013 Chinese Grand Prix, when he put his Lotus second on the grid behind... Lewis Hamilton. Raikkonen lined up just ahead of a Ferrari at that China race, then driven by Fernando Alonso. In Italy this weekend, he lined up in front of the Ferrari driven by his teammate, Sebastian Vettel, who qualified third. Both Ferraris benefitted from an upgraded power unit, ending a front-row drought for the scuderia that goes all the way back to Monaco in 2009 Germany in 2012. Nico Rosberg has a lot of work to do from fourth in the second Mercedes-AMG Petronas. Mercedes discovered a problem with Rosberg's engine but couldn't figure out the cause, so he reverted to the previous-spec engine he used in Belgium, one that's six races old. The lack of power hurt. Williams teammates Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas took fifth and sixth, with Massa seemingly given a team-ordered helping hand. Williams told Bottas to tow Massa down the front straight, giving Massa a blistering time in the first sector. Then Bottas did it again, ensuring he would line up behind Massa. The first Sahara Force India of Sergio Perez nabbed seventh, three places ahead of teammate Nico Hulkenberg in tenth, with Romain Grosjean in the Lotus behind Perez in eighth. Marcus Ericsson in the Sauber qualified ninth, but some clumsy driving saw him impede Hulkenberg twice. The stewards penalized Ericsson with a three-place grid penalty and two points on his superlicense, so Hulkenberg inherited ninth and Pastor Maldonado in the second Lotus inherited tenth. We hardly saw Hamilton during the race, because he led from the start, worked up a larger gap to second place on every lap, and didn't give up the lead for the whole event.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept gets mobbed in China

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

If the reception it received at the Shanghai Motor Show is any judge of marketplace acceptance, Mercedes-Benz has a hit on its hands in the form of the GLA Concept. And we can understand why - we're quickly becoming fans of Mercedes' recent styling language, as defined by new models like the CLA and this GLA Concept.
The big news on the exterior front are the headlamp clusters, which have frickin' laser beams attached to their foreheads embedded inside that are capable of projecting videos and images on a screen. Plus, a pair of video cameras are mounted on the roof that can be used to capture driving excitement or removed and taken with you. How cool is that? We just hope they have a substantial locking mechanism to prevent would-be thievery...
If the exterior is mostly ready for production, with a few of the more outlandish elements moved to the trash bin - like, for instance, laser-beam headlamps and removable action cams - the interior is a true custom job that screams concept loud and clear. There are all kinds of jewel-like finishes inside, along with transparent surfaces showing what looks like metal latticework underneath and some awfully thick looking leather with massive exterior stitching done by hand similar to what you'd find on a baseball glove.

Mercedes spotted prepping new S63 AMG Cabrio

Wed, Jul 15 2015

If the market for convertibles is on the decline, nobody seems to have told the fellas over at Mercedes-Benz. The German automaker keeps adding more droptops to its lineup, and soon it will have one more on its hands in the form of the new S-Class Cabriolet. And here we have photos of the new flagship cabrio getting ready for its big debut – but not in just any old form. This would appear to be the new S63 AMG convertible. As the S-Class Coupe is already out there in various states of tune, we're not expecting any major surprises from the new convertible. Look for a folding fabric roof mechanism to open up a spacious four-seat cabin. A car with which Benz can attack the likes of the Bentley Continental GTC especially, but also the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible, Aston Martin DB9 Volante, and the upcoming Rolls-Royce Dawn (the drophead version of the Wraith). The AMG version ought to help that effort even more, complete with Affalterbach's 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8, fully expected to pack the same 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque as the other S63 models. We're anticipating Daimler to take the wraps off the S-Class cabrio at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, but we'll have to wait to see if the AMG version appears alongside it or follows at some later date.
