This is a Mercedes GE 280 which is the six cylinder model. The interior is in immaculate shape however there are some trouble spots in the body. I had the transfer case recently rebuilt and had the vehicle mechanically sound ready for the body shop.
The following is what I know needs to be done. I recently had the vehicle in climate controlled storage for the last year after I started hearing a grinding noise in the front differential. After investigation I found that it needs a new ring gear. As opposed to fixing I removed the front drive shaft so it is currently a two wheel drive. For body work it will need rocker panels for both passenger and driver side and a left rear quarter panel. All the other rust spots are not severe enough to replace the panels and can be addressed in any body shop or you can do the work yourself. It needs a new air conditioning condenser unit. It also needs a crank shaft positioning sensor as when it gets warm you sometimes have to wait ten minutes for it to cool down to restart. This is a common problem from the eighties model Mercedes vehicles.
When I took the vehicle out of storage I noticed my speedo has quit working. To the best of my knowledge the mileage as shown is accurate within a few hundred miles that I have put on the vehicle in the last few months commuting to work
This vehicle turns heads everywhere you go and I always get questions which is great. I hate to see it go but I need to focus my funds towards replacing an engine in a boat as boating season is upon us. I will definitely be in the market again for one someday, but after lake season. Please feel free to contact me with questions. I suggest YouTube to see lots of videos of the pure awesomeness of these machines.
I have the vehicle for sale locally and reserve the right to remove if a sale is made.

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
