Here is an early 230SL equipped with the much-improved 2.8 motor that came later in the 280SL cars. The motors look the same under the hood, but the 2.8 (marked as such on the block) is a much sturdier and desirable motor with 7 (not 5) main bearings and more power. The prior owner restored the car over the last 10 years and removed the side mouldings that come on all the W113 Pagoda cars. It gives the car a much cleaner, modern look, especially with the custom 16 inch Aluminum alloy rims and new 205/55 R16 Falken ZIEX tires. (No, they do not rub anywhere.) The pearl white paint job on the rust-free body is complimented by correct German square weave wool 2-tone carpet laid over insulated floors. The gaps around the doors, hood and trunk are uniform and true. Original wood interior trim is complete and in nice shape. Nice original ashtray. This is a true Euro version with no ugly side marker lights, headrests or bumper guards. It has US headlight assemblies. The speedometer is in kilometers and the other gauges are European as well. A high quality, powerful Alpine CD stereo and working electric antenna have been added, along with a pair of 6 by 9 Alpine speakers neatly tucked in the kick panels as shown. Seats and interior have been redone in parchment MB tex and are in mint condition, but the seat back adjusters do not work well, and the passenger side knob is missing. Tan top is brand new German Sonnendeck with the herringbone pattern underneath. I have been driving the car for several months and have added these new parts: complete tune up, new fan belt, new brake cylinders and hoses, new rear brake shoes, new oil and filter, new antifreeze, flush and refill brake system, new battery, new trunk seal, OEM windshield weatherstriping, new windshield and misc. other weatherstriping. This car is a pleasure to drive. It holds good oil pressure and has never overheated once this summer. It starts very easily, does not miss or sputter, no smoking or knocking, takes bumps and potholes with ease, smooth ride, smooth shifting of automatic transmission, all gauges work, windows roll up and down, top latches fine front and back, all exterior lights work, heat and air levers work, wipers and squirter work. The original clock is there but not operating. No rust in the storage compartments under the rear carpeted wood panels and no rust in the top well. The trunk is rust free. The factory hard top is included, but it needs a little work in order to be as nice as the car is. The odometer says 86,125 kilometers. I assume it must be 186,125, but the title I got said it was actual miles. [186,125 kilometers is 115,653 miles.] The car is located in Charleston, West Virginia. If you want to fly in to see the car, I will drive this car to the airport and pick you up. The car is offered for sale locally, so this auction is subject to ending abruptly. High bidder to pay the $500 deposit within 24 hours of the end of the sale. Balance in cash or wire transfer prior to taking possession.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
Mercedes fits new C-Class with AMG kit
Sat, 28 Dec 2013It's only been a week and a half since Mercedes-Benz revealed the new C-Class, and it'll likely be a while yet before the replacement for the C63 AMG comes along. But if you want to see a preview of what it'll look like, look no further than the AMG aero kit that has just surfaced.
Expected to debut on the new C-Class at the fast-approaching Detroit Auto Show, the AMG Line Exterior Pack adds a new bumpers front and rear, side skirts, dual exhaust tips, mesh grille, aluminum window frames and - most importantly - 18-inch alloys packing upgraded brakes and fitted to a lowered sport suspension. All of which will help any C-Class look the part, even if the engine remains stock.
Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.
