I am the third owner of this great road car. It was purchased new in Hawaii and container shipped to the US to a family member upon her death about 7 years ago. I bought it from them and have only driven it about 100 miles since I acquired it about a year ago. Cam chains were upgraded at about 40K. No receipts, but I have pix. All parts used were original MB. Car is in great overall condition and runs and drives great for a 30 year old car. I have replaced the battery, fuel pump, had to hood professionally repainted, and replaced the under hood rubber pads, fixed a lot of minor issues and serviced and detailed the whole car since I bought it. It has always been stored inside. No oil or fluid leaks at this time. Tires were new at 42K. Brakes were redone, a few years back. The original radio was replaced with a newer unit, but I have the original. Original hard top is in great shape. It comes with a convenient roll around cart for storage. AC works great, cruise control, power windows, locks, interior and exterior lights work as should, rear defroster works on hardtop. Soft top is in great original condition with great rubber seals. Rear plastic glass is only slightly foggy around edges. Tool kit is there and complete, but original Mercedes top tool is missing as is original owner manual. We are still searching for it. I bought 2 reproduction tools to get by. The car will need a new warm-up regulator at some point. Its more of a minor annoyance at this point. Car runs fine after a couple of minutes. The temp gauge quit working, and the rheostat on the instrument lights is bad. I am still working on these two issues. I also has a small exhaust leak at the muffler, not a hole. Hope to get this taken care of this week. The only other issue I have to report is a clatter in the steering wheel, which as it turns out, is a common problem with the steering shaft coupler. not an expensive fix. I am searching for a small vacuum leak in the engine this week too. Paint is good for a driven car this age, no dents, no rust, rockers solid. Dents removed except for one tiny above the headlight bezel. Someone ran a key down the sides of the car at some point, but it is only in the clear coat and is hard to see. That's about all I can think of. Car is a blast to drive and is in incredible shape for its age. A top rated favorite by Road and Track magazine. You may contact me for any further questions. I welcome any third party inspections done by professionals.

Mercedes-AMG GT and C63 to serve as F1 safety, medical cars
Sun, Mar 8 2015Mercedes has spent nearly 20 years providing the safety and medical cars for Formula 1, so it was hardly a shock when the company announced that the new Mercedes-AMG GT and C63 AMG S Estate would serve as ushers in the F1 circus. The two turbocharged monsters replace the old SLS AMG safety car and C63 AMG wagon medical car, which have served in one trim or another since 2010 and 2008, respectively. The biggest change for either car is, of course, the lightbar. It's been mounted atop a carbon-fiber hoop on the AMG GT that Mercedes says optimizes airflow to that big rear wing. Meanwhile, the location of the lights was confirmed via wind tunnel testing. In the cockpit, two iPads allow the AMG GT's passenger, fuel analyst Peter Tibbetts, to monitor the race's world feed while also keeping an eye on race data. The tablets stay connected via an in-car, wireless internet connection. Changes for the C63 S wagon are less extensive. It gets a lightbar and the usual signaling systems in the headlights and taillights, while the cargo compartment includes both a respirator and a defibrillator, to manage more serious medical emergencies. As with the AMG GT, the C63 is finished in F1's traditional silver safety/medical car livery. Beyond these changes, both vehicles are just as potent as those that can be purchased at dealers. Both cars feature a 4.0-liter, 510-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V8, while a seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission dispatches the grunt with lightning-quick shifts. So equipped, the AMG GT will hit 60 in 3.8 seconds and the C63 can get there in 4.1 seconds. Check out the full gallery of both cars, decked out in their F1 liveries, available up top.

Mercedes-Benz intros long-wheelbase E-Class for China
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Long-wheelbase sedans are a pretty hot commodity in China, and to keep up with the competition, Mercedes-Benz has introduced an extended version of the 2014 E-Class sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show. Audi, BMW, Volvo and even Cadillac offer extended versions of sedans specific to the Chinese market, and now the E-Class L, shown off in E400L guise, will give luxury sedan buyers in China yet another option.
Compared to the standard 2014 E-Class sedan, the new China-spec E-Class L has been stretched by 5.5 inches - all of which goes to the rear-seat passengers. According to an article on China View from earlier in the year, the market for chauffeur-driven cars is growing in the Asian nation, so automakers need long-wheelbase models like the E-Class L in order to fully compete. As for what powers this stretched E-Class, it's available in three models: the diesel E260L, the V6-powered E300L and the E400 Hybrid.
The redesigned E-Class and the all-new A-Class are just the first of 20 new Mercedes-Benz products that will be introduced into the Chinese auto market by 2015. Scroll down for the full press release on long-wheelbase E.
Mercedes C-Class coupe spied undisguised
Wed, May 27 2015The closer that it gets to an official unveiling, the more camouflage the Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe is stripping off. These latest spy shots show the two-door with a largely undisguised front end, but the rear is still concealed. In general, the C-Class coupe looks quite similar to its four-door counterpart, but the two-door wears some unique parts to make it appear a little sportier. As with the previously spied example, the designers move the side mirrors to the doors, instead of the corner of the A-pillars, and there's a single-bar grille up front. Despite the camouflage, these shots give a clear view of the model's sleeker silhouette, as well. At the rear, you can also spy the narrower, wraparound taillights to replace the squarish units on the sedan. Mercedes will reportedly debut this longer, lower take on the C-Class model line at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and sales in Europe will reportedly begin in December. This isn't the last variant to come along, though. Spy shots already show an AMG version of the coupe and a convertible under development. Related Video:
