Hello and thank you for visiting my auction.
This auction is for 1 absolutely beautiful 1966 Mercedes Benz 230SL. The car has a brand new restoration done by an incredible body shop in Miami Florida. 95% of the car has been refinished.. From a brand new paint job, to new electric and wiring through out the majority of the motor. This car is my from my personal collection. I bought the car about 1 year ago and spent $17,000.00 during its restoration. I purchased the car from the 2nd owner and it was 100% original!!! I have pictures of the car when I first purchased it if you'd like to see. Please send me your email and I will gladly send them. Below is a list of things to know about the car.
ON A SCALE OF 1-10, 10 BEING PERFECT, THIS CAR IS A SOLID 7 and 3/4!
Exterior: The 230 has a brand new, 6 month old Pearl White paint job. It is absolutely stunning! Originally, the car was white and had some rust on the rear fenders, and I had my body shop cut the metal and weld new metal back on. (It was only about a square inch on both rear fenders). I then had them paint the car with a high quality paint, and as you can see from the finished product in the pictures, it came out amazing and I was very happy with the finished product. ($7500.00 value). The lines and body panels on this car are EXTREMELY straight. This car was 100% original when I purchased it and the previous owner told me it had never been crashed or repainted! In other words, the body panel skins look like the day they came out of the factory in 1966. I also had the trunk lid replaced with a brand new one and that alone was $1,400.00. As you can see from the pictures, there isn't one dent on any body panel on the car!
I've also added a brand new Navy Blue canvas top. As you can see from the pictures, it folds perfectly into the top-compartment and only takes about a minute to put the top down. ($1300.00 value)
The tires on the car are in excellent shape and are only 1 year old. They only have an estimated 2,000 miles on them.
The car also has all of the polished metal trim. About 90% of it was re-installed. I have the other few pieces needed, but I have not had time to take it back to Miami where I had the car re-stored. I was told that the car still has some rust underneath.
Interior: The interior is also brand new! I had everything taken out of the car when it was being restored at the body shop and taken to an upholstery shop in Miami as well. As you can see from the pictures, the seats, dash, visors, and convertible top-housing were completely re-done. I tried to match the original color of the interior which was a "baseball clay" like color. There is a picture of one of the original door handles on the seat for comparison. Once the car was put back together at the body shop, I drove the car back to the upholstery shop and had them carpet all of the flooring, rear storage space, and the trunk with brand new Navy blue carpet to match the Convertible top. ($3,000.00 value)
Motor: The car runs absolutely incredible! I had 90% of the wiring through out the motor and car replaced as well as a new battery. I also had all 12 rocker arms/lifters replaced about 3 months ago. The car sounds excellent, is quiet relative to its age, and fires right up. ($4,500.00 value) IT DOES NOT AND NEVER HAS OVER HEATED!
There is only 1 very small issue that I can think of mechanically. There is a very small oil leak coming from a gasket which I've already purchased and will come with the car. The car will also come with a few other brand new cosmetic and mechanical parts which I've purchased to simply anticipate any thing else mechanically although everything is is running perfect.
If you have any questions at all, please message me right away. PLEASE TRUST my incredible feedback. I have sold countless cars, boats, jetski's, watches, and several other high end items that total well over $1,000,000.00 in sales on ebay, all from my personal collection, and as you can see, my feedback is almost perfect! You are getting an absolute quality car!
This is your chance to get a car valued by Hagerty Insurance @ $30,000.00 for a great price! Very Low Reserve! Best of luck!

2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.
Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.
Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG coming to the New York Auto Show
Tue, 05 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz showed off the CLA45 AMG at a private event on the eve of the Geneva Motor Show, but was determined not to let it be photographed. We can talk about it, though - after all, a teaser image was released to promote the new Sony game Drive Club. The CLA45 AMG will use the same powertrain as the A45 AMG, which means a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. And that means a small four-door coupe sedan with the highest horsepower-per-liter in the segment. It will shift through the same seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, should also run out of speed at 155 miles per hour and have that three-stage stability control system.
As with its hatch sibling, the CLA is already so aggressive on the outside - and the parent company so anxious not to demolish the sedan's 0.22 coefficient of drag - that not much has been done to the cranked-up CLA. Even the rather thin tires on the standard only get a little less thin on the hotter variant. Inside will be the telltale AMG signs, with lots of red detailing and that flat-bottomed wheel among the giveaways. We'll know more later this month when the wraps come off at the New York International Auto Show.
