1979 Mercedes 450SL in excellent condition. Low, Low original miles. Only 44,000 miles. Next to last year for the 4.5 Liter V8. Lots of power. Brilliant Silver exterior with black MB tex interior. New convertible top. A very, very nice car.
I'm selling this car for a friend of mine who bought it from the daughter of the original owner. My friend is a stone mason who did work on their estate here in Connecticut. He saw the car and had to have it. With two young daughters who want to both ride with him in it, this is not the car to own. It only causes tension with the kids. My friend does not use the computer so he asked me to list the car for him.
The car was purchased new in San Francisco, CA from European Motors LTD, 5/31/1979. In 1995 the car was transported to Connecticut, registered and titled here with 24,000 miles on it. 19 years later it has only 44,000 miles. Clear Connecticut title is in hand ready for sale.
Runs and drives excellent. Just had a lot of maintainance done by Mercedes. You can see the replaced coolant tank, brake reservior, etc in the engine photo. Interior is like new, no rips or tears. Original radio still in dash. Convertible top is new. Exterior is very nice. One scratch on left front fender see in photo. Rub on left rear fender. Look at photo, I think most will buff out. Small blister on right front fender. Solid, Quality car. A really, really nice car. Selling with no reserve. Selling as is. Please ask questions, please look at it prior to bidding. Nice SL great driving and a car you can be proud of. This car will only go up in value. My friend doesn't have the space to keep it. Any questions please call me. 203-648-6818 Car is located in New Milford, CT 06776. Call me if you want to see it. Good luck to everyone and thank you. Dave |

BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
Watch Schumacher's hot lap of N"urburgring in Mercedes F1 car
Fri, 31 May 2013In advance of the Nürburgring 24-hour race last weekend, Mercedes-Benz put on a demonstration that had Michael Schumacher playing catch-up in a Formula One car against four examples of AMG metal. There were four cars sent off in staggered starts before Schumacher: an A45 AMG, E63 AMG 4Matic, SLS AMG Black Series, and an SLS AMG GT3 car. "Mr. Formula One," as the German television commentators call him, left three minutes after the SLS AMG GT3.
There are two videos of Schumacher's lap, the first is on-board footage - and even though there were several GoPros on the car the POV never cuts away from the front wing. You can hear the throttle and tell he's not pushing it, you can also tell how bumpy the track is. The second video is footage from the German Sport1 channel - with commentary in German - that shows all the cars taking off and takes the aerial view of proceedings. He looks to be going a lot faster in that one. You can compare and contrast yourself with the videos below.
Oh, and it's worth noting that, even with the likely restricted car, and the made-for-TV environment, Schumi turned in a quick lap. The nose camera shows the F1 car start to slow down on the back straight, near the start/finish line, right around the modern-length track record time of six minutes and eleven seconds.
Firing of M-B boss upheld
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
