1967 Mercedes Benz 250SL Beautiful Survivor/Driver Level

I purchased this 250sl out of long term ownership. The previous owner had the SL in New Mexico before moving to Illinois. This SL was driven regularly by the previous owner and was lovingly cared for and maintained. When I drove it this past weekend, it literally stopped traffic. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of camera phone pics, waves, questions and attention this SL demanded. It's a testament to the presence of this 250sl!

This SL is absolutely striking in it's original Color Combination of 568H Signal Red over Black MB Tex and Black Softtop

The paint is approximately 10-15 years old. It was a high quality repaint that has withstood the test of time. It polishes nicely and looks amazing! Of course, upon close-up inspection there may be some minor imperfections; however, you can enter this 250sl into any local show without hesitation. I tried to take photos of any issues with the paint and undercarriage. You can see the undercarriage could use a few small patches. Overall, considering how nicely the paint presents after 10-15 years of service, it is apparent that this SL has been lovingly garaged and maintained.

Spot welds present on passenger fender and both "weep" lines or notches present at the headlight bezels.

The correct M129 Engine, appears to be a factory replacement block, starts right up, Transmission Shifts Smoothly, Drives Smooth and Straight. The muffler should be replaced. I would also suggest a tune-up and fluid/filter service.

The Interior color combination is stunning! The Black MBTex is an elegant contrast to the Signal Red Body and Dashboard. The Dash Chrome and Interior Wood present well. And the original Becker radio works. The Interior is is serviceable as-is...my only recommendation, and a personal preference, would be to add a set of black/red CoCo mats to give the interior that finished look.

Original Jack, Lug Wrench and 14" Spare Tire. All Rims are Factory Correct 14" Rims.

Glass is all in great condition and the chrome and stainless trim present well!

I drove this SL this past weekend for several hours without issue. Candidly, I have not even detailed this SL. It really presents well and, after a professional detail, should look stunning!

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept crossover leaked ahead of Shanghai debut

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

With just a few days left before the start of the Shanghai Motor Show, images of the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept compact crossover have emerged online. The little 'ute is based on the small A-Class hatchback, and though it shares an identical wheelbase, is larger in every other dimension.
Looking like a rough-and-tumble five-door hatchback on the tippy toes of its 20-inch wheels, the GLA is most certainly destined for production in a toned down form that will borrow many bits and pieces from other cars based on this platform like the aforementioned A-Class and the CLA-Class sedan. Carscoop reports that the production version of the GLA will be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September of this year, with sales to the public starting in 2014.
Since it's based on the A-Class, we expect that the production GLA-Class will be powered by your choice of Mercedes' 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine and a diesel or two, and will offer transmissions that include the company's seven-speed DCT and perhaps a six-speed manual (at least in Europe). If the GLA follows the same path as the two cars before it, expect a GLA45 AMG producing over 300 horsepower, as well. As for what powers the GLA Concept, that just might remain a mystery until the vehicle is officially revealed in China.

As US exports top 2 million, is America becoming the world's source of cheap cars?

Mon, Feb 9 2015

North American auto production is booming with 2014 figures just shy of the of the 17.3-million vehicle record set in 2000. With more models being built on the continent, even more are being shipped overseas. Factories in the US exported 2.1 million cars last year – the highest number ever. About half of those went to Canada and Mexico, but more than ever have been heading to places like the Middle East and China. The upswing comes in part from from after-effects from the Great Recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. With a weak dollar and lower production costs after the financial crisis, building vehicles in the US was relatively cheaper and more competitive in the world. At the same time buyers around the world are going crazy for crossovers. According to the WSJ, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are already exporting the majority of their US production of these models overseas. Both automakers have also announced investments to expand production further here to send more vehicles abroad. Even Honda has been shipping more models out of the country than it imported here. There is a concern this international strength could start slowing because the dollar is strengthening against other currencies, though it's too early to know what the actual effect of this could be, according to the WSJ. "Of course, we closely watch currency exchange, but we don't make changes in production or allocation based on temporary fluctuations in the exchange rate," Ford North American boss Joe Hinrichs told the newspaper.

Jay Leno drives the incredible Mercedes-Benz C111-II concept

Tue, Oct 20 2015

You might think that Jay Leno has driven it all, but there are a few vehicles so rare that getting behind the wheel is a special experience, even for him. This week on Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian has one of those unique experiences by taking a ride in a 1970 Mercedes-Benz C111-II concept on loan from the Mercedes Classics Center. First unveiled in 1969, the C111 concept featured an in-vogue wedge shape, gullwing doors, and a mid-mounted three-rotor engine, and it seemed like the supercar of the future. This C111-II went even further in 1970 with tweaked styling and a four-rotor powerplant behind the driver. A V8 eventually replaced the experimental mill, but that switch is also part of the reason this one is still on the road today. Leno gets the full history about Mercedes' original plans for the C111 project, but obviously the real highlight is the rare drive in this vintage concept. He clearly relishes the experience of finally getting behind the wheel of this piece of auto history, one of the few automotive dreams he hadn't yet fulfilled.
