Mercedes Benz 450SLC 1979 - (2) owners (CA), prior to me in which I bought the car about 1 year ago, kept garaged and put less than 100 miles on this car. The below information was supplied by the previous owner in California.
172,470 original miles, complete value job done with timing chain and all timing component replaced.
Always garaged and serviced at Maurice Mercedes service in Costa Mesa CA.
This classic coupe is so elegant with the terracota factory color and the beige leather interior, that always recieve compliments while driving in a Sunday brunch. This is the same model that Onasis gave to Jackie back on the 70's. This is a classic European VB sport coupe that will increase in value with the years.
Mechanically is superb, it runs so strong, fast and smooth at the same time that is a pleasure to drive it. The transmission shift just perfect, no slipping, no knock, no noise. Perfect.
The interior is in very clean condition. The seats are leather, both front seats show wear due to the age of the car, both seats have a tear on the top part of the seat (see photo's) that can be restitched. The headliner, the door panels, the rear seats and back tray are in great shape. The dashboard has a cover in the same beige color tone. The wood trim all around is nice, there is a very little piece missing next to the ignition tumbler, almost not noticeable. The carpets and floor mats are in good shape. All the gauges work, the radio works, the radio antenna works, the AC work, the heather works, the dome lights works, the door locks work, both front seats move back and forward freely. The horn works.
The exterior is almost in excellent condition except for 2 very minor scratches on the panels, one paint bubble next to the grill and very little spot around the radio antenna were the clear coat is peeling off. All the chromes are perfect, they are shining as the first day.
The tires are like new, they still have 90% left thread. All the brakes, belts, water hoes and breather hoses have been checked.
The car comes with a spare tire, floor jack, and original tools.

Mercedes-AMG teases GT interior, announces fall 2014 debut
Tue, 15 Apr 2014Mercedes-Benz opted to tease the assembled media at its post-New York Auto Show party, showing off a pair of images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor of the SLS AMG - the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
Slated for a debut in the fall at either Paris or Los Angeles (we're betting Paris), you'll note straight away that there's something wrong with this car's name. Where's the "Benz?" Well, it's been ditched to, as Mercedes says, "make the dream of the authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car come true." Sorry Karl.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.
Daimler employees can set email to auto-delete during vacation
Mon, 18 Aug 2014The Internet has shrunk the world in terms of the way people communicate by making it possible to send an email from Oslo and have it show up in Cleveland almost immediately. But that instant contact has wrecked the work/life balance for many. They get home from a long day at the office, yet they can never fully put their feet up and relax because another hour or more of checking and replying to emails awaits. However, German automotive giant Daimler is putting an end to that churn, at least while its employees are on vacation.
About 100,000 Daimler employees in Germany are eligible to opt-in to a new program called Mail on Holiday, according to The Atlantic. When the workers go on vacation, they can switch it on, and the service auto-deletes all of their incoming email. "Our employees should relax on holiday and not read work-related emails," said Wilfried Porth, board member for human resources, to The Financial Times as cited by The Atlantic.
Mail on Holiday puts a thumb on the scale of work/life balance in favor of a little more free time. The system means that Daimler employees shouldn't even be tempted to check their email on vacation because there's nothing there - and it also avoids them coming back from a relaxing holiday only to find a mailbox packed full of hundreds of unread messages. These days, people are absolutely obsessed with their work, often to the detriment of their health, not to mention spending time with their families and friends. On one hand, Mail on Holiday sounds like the sort of vacation breakthrough we'd need to truly unplug and unwind, but on the other hand, it makes our skin crawl just thinking about the lack of communication.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
