This is a 1975 Mercedes Benz 450SLC, it is silver in color with 29,194, I am not sure of the accuracy of the mileage but, I originally purchased said car in West Palm beach fl and did notice a: functioning speedometer, odometer and mileage did differ once I reached Miami Fl, there was a 53 miles difference at the clock. It was during this initial drive that I notice when accelerating to 60mph..., a loud back fire can be heard at rear exhaust which was later to be diagnosed as a faulty computer for fuel injection (brain 0-280-002-003), the suspension felt very tight during this drive, I notice a hard pull to the right (1 bad sway bar linkage was seen once parked at home) when brake was applied..I want to be upfront about this vehicle as it was mainly used for Sunday drive and garage parked for a good portion of her life by previous owner(s)... She needs a loving home & been painted before and whomever did the job "put their heart into it", the noticeable rust spots seems greater near the battery tray support and secondly would be near the jacking area of the car, I did notice the paint (see pic) bubbling on the rear lid. there are a few cracks on the dash. All of the 205-70-14 are in mint condition with the spikes? still there... Brakes and exhaust are intact!! I recently took out the Blaupunkt original radio & installed a Sony cd player which powers up and sound good, speaker upgrade maybe needed as they are presently the original(s). The seats were also done at some point and are not original, perhaps nicely done covers?. Power windows at the front are working while one of the rear maybe questionable.. The heater/ac blower is intermittent and presently took the fuse out.. She's been stationary for many months in my driveway. Vehicle is truly unique.Once I arrive home from the WPB drive, I went in on this car and change all plugs, wires, cap/rotors, ignition points, fuel pump/filter etc.., Once all the new parts were installed, the car fired right up & ran on all 8 cylinders for 5 minutes and she roared!!! I now went deeper into diagnostic mode by taking out the fuel injection trigger points to test and it checked fine.. This model is the one with electronic injectors, there are no fuel distributor at the top!. I went a little deeper with the diagnostics and it was then that I discovered the "no pulse" at four of the corner injectors.. I've spent time/money in said car over the months, if you appreciate these 107's and is an enthusiast.. "This is it", I want to see her go to a good home :-(, If you are the winning bidder and have a brain, best to bring it with you and hear her run in 8 cylinders but, for now she is hard to start and once started, she is stumbling on 4 cylinders.. I did a NAda/ kbb check on this and with the above mileage she is between $11-22k, I cannot give this away.. Please, do not waste my time nor yours.. I sale said vehicle in "as is" condition and can be reach at 954 696 2917 for more details. I have a clean Fl title in hand and am sure winning bidder will appreciate such rare & unique vehicle.

Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
Mercedes dealers authorized to spend $2,500 on perks for S-Class customers
Mon, 02 Dec 2013If you drop $100,000 on a luxury sedan, it seems only reasonable to receive some preferential treatment at the dealership you purchased from. After all, that price isn't just for the car - you're paying for the brand and all the cachet that entails. For Mercedes-Benz, those benefits have apparently been lacking relative to the German brand's luxury competitors.
That's set to change, though, as Automotive News reports that the German brand is placing a much greater emphasis on keeping its customers happy and loyal with its MB Select program. Starting with the new S-Class and spreading to the CLA-Class (and eventually beyond), dealers are being given money - up to $2,500 in the case of the flagship sedan - just to improve the customer experience.
We agree, improving the "customer experience" is quite a vague term, so it's nice that Mercedes USA's CEO, Steve Cannon, offered up some examples to AN at the LA Auto Show. For example, a customer couldn't fit his sunglasses into the overhead compartment. "So we bought him a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses that fit because of their shape," Cannon said.
Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]
Sun, 28 Apr 2013We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.
