You are bidding on a 1978 Mercedes 450 SEL. This is essentially a one owner car. I am listing for a friend of mine. His mother bought this car new in 1978 from Carson-Petit Mercedes Benz in West Chester PA. She passed away in 1984 and the car has been stored either under cover in summer or in a garage/barn in winter months. This car is in unbelievable condition. The car has the typical or normal patina for a car that is 35 years old. It shows some fading on the trunk lid but overall I consider it in very good condition. One or two small dings on the entire car. The body is straight and the car has no rust. The speedometer was replaced by a local repair shop when the car was about 64k miles. We are guessing the car is somewhere in the low 70k range at this time. It runs great and has been on the road this summer traveling more than 125 miles. The front seats have dry rotted a bit but driver's side has sheepskin cover. The dash and gauges are near perfect. NO cracks in the dash. I noticed a small leak in the exhaust/muffler. Not a bad leak but it is there. The car stops great and steers great. Tires are good. Radio works sometimes. OK here is my opinion, like it or not. You can drive this car and enjoy it. You can restore it to new condition or you can part it out. (by the way, this is a perfect candidate for a restoration) If I was able I would restore it myself.. This is a very very solid SEL . Rarely will you see an unrestored 78 in this condition. We are setting the reserve at what I consider "buyer friendly". This is a great one owner car. The owner is loosing his inside storage and has decided to sell. That's it. No more no less. Any questions please call at a reasonable hour and I will try and answer. Karl 610-368-3673

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon is one hot hauler [w/video]
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Mentioned at the debut of the redesigned Mercedes-Benz E-Class back in January, Mercedes has finally pulled back the curtain on the E63 AMG S, which was on display at the New York Auto Show in wagon guise. The 2014 E63 AMG S ups the ante even more from a "base" E63 AMG, improving the car's performance and styling - not that it needed help with either to begin with.
Our favorite S-model upgrade is the added output tweaked out of the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, which represents a substantial gain of 27 hp and 59 lb-ft of torque over the stock E63. In wagon form, the E63 AMG S can run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. All 2014 E63 AMGs come with Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, but the S-Model adds in a limited-slip rear differential for improved performance.
Mercedes has made sure that the extra money being spent on the S-Model is instantly noticeable with slightly different design cues and black along with 10-spoke wheels with red brake calipers peeking through. Plenty of silver-chrome and high-gloss black accents finish off the exterior styling, while the interior adds Alcantara on the steering wheel, accent stitching on the leather and contrasting silver seat belts on models with the black interior. Scroll down for an official video and press release.
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.
Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
