Pristinely Restorable 1971 Mercedes 280sl on 2040-cars
Year:1971
Mileage:94875
Location:
Winter Park, Florida, United States
|
This car was owned by the former General Sales Manager of a large Mercedes dealership in Jacksonville for 20 years, and as a result this car comes with factory parts and service manuals, as well as most of the invoices for work and parts that have been replaced. This car has a Good, Clear, Florida Title (Not Salvage/Rebuilt) and this title is with the car. This car is being sold for personal reasons, not particularly financial ones. This car was disassembled by the owner, and parts were labeled and placed into Zip-Lock bags as they were removed. This is a 1971 280SL, which is one of the rarest 280SLs ever produced. Only an estimated 420 1971 280SLs were ever sold in the US, and 1971 was the last year they were made. This car should be considered to be the closest to having the least rust of any 280SL that is available for restoration. The pictures should be clear enough to see clear examples of where this car needs bodywork, this is the reason why I have donated my time in the direction of chemically removing most of the paint to display the well preserved metal underneath. This car is very close to being placed upon a rotisserie, media blasted, and then painted in zinc chromate primer. The car has such low rust that it will probably be able to pass the small screwdriver test, where the tip of the screwdriver should not perforate any floor panel or body part. As evidenced by the extremely good condition of the original transmission (in the pictures) this car has been very well preserved. This car comes with every part that is in the pictures. The owner purchased all of the OEM parts while he was at the Mercedes Dealership as the General Sales Manager. A very large number of parts were bought for this car, including brand new bumpers, and nearly every piece of rubber. The engine and the transmission ran fine before the car was disassembled, and much care was taken to label the zip lock bags with parts inside of them. If you would like more details about the parts that are included, or would like close up shots of the part numbers, please contact us. The factory metal plates are intact and original, under the hood and the left door jam. The soft top frame is included with the car, and is located underneath the hard top. The color code for this car is 906 Silver Blue Metallic. There is no stamped metal number in the hood, but all of the gaps on the car generally look good. The $550 Mercedes-Benz matching toolkit and bag for this car is included. The engine number is 130983 12 013109, and the car and engine both have less than 95,000 miles, and a professional Mercedes Engine Re-manufacturer has inspected the engine, and has confirmed that the engine turns over freely, and the rack on the injection pump moves freely. At 90,000 miles the engine head was professionally re-manufactured at the Jacksonville dealership using only quality Mercedes-Benz parts. This car does not have carpets, an exhaust system, a fuel tank, or a front windshield. My suggestion on where to find the replacement parts are From Mercedes Benz, new: Fuel tank 113 470 0701 $1,100 list F windshield 113 671 0410 $755 list Mike at Time Valve 321 254-7200 stainless exhaust ~$900 or so Cindy at GAHH 800 722-2292 for carpet kit This car is being sold "AS IS", and a reasonable amount of effort has been committed to ensure that this is an accurate description of this 280SL in pictures and in text.

The Scaldarsi Emperor I is a Mercedes-Maybach S600 taken to 11 on the bad-taste scale
Thu, Aug 18 2016The custom car world is filled with vehicles designed by people that don't know when to quit. The Scaldarsi Emperor I, shown here in all its awful rose-gold glory, appears to have been designed by an enthusiast of the KFC Double Down. It's a hideous creation and we can't let it pass without saying so. We also can't look away. Scaldarsi's so-called "artists" have thoroughly reworked what was a perfectly wonderful Mercedes-Maybach S600. In addition to the 24-karat rose gold accents, the company has crafted a new front fascia and modified the side and rear treatments. Inside, the general S600 shape remains, but new leather and wood cover nearly every surface. Your insane imagination will not be tamed, as there are 24 colors for the leather, 24 types of animal hides, 78 types of wood, and 16 exterior body colors available. The result, at least in the publicity shots, is a mix of awkward textures and seats that look like a pile of colorful marshmallows. Those interested in purchasing an Emperor I can option custom-engraved champagne glasses, matching tote bags, and even an Emperor Edition Rolex watch. If the standard key fob is too common for your taste, they'll make you one custom. Watch out for that Scaldarsi logo, though – it looks mean enough to rip through your pocket and take a chunk out of your leg. We will give Scaldarsi credit for wisely letting Brabus handle the power. The Emperor I uses the 6.3-liter twin-turbocharged V12 from the Brabus Rocket 900. This 888-horsepower monster is a tuned version of the V12 AMG uses in the S65, SL65, and G65. The Emperor I has an estimated 0-60 mph time of just 3.7 seconds, which is quick enough to leave stoplights before anyone recognizes you behind the wheel. Scaldarsi is asking a mere $1.5 million for each of 10 examples being created. If you miss out on the Emperor I or are some kind of twisted completist that needs one of each, this just the first in a series of customs the company will offer. Next up is the Emperor II (a Mercedes-AMG S65 Coupe), which will be followed by the Emperor III (Bentley Bentayga), Emperor IV (Mercedes-AMG G65), and Emperor V (Bugatti Chiron). Lord help us all.

Why we can't have better headlights here in the U.S.
Tue, Mar 13 2018It wouldn't be a European auto show if we weren't teased with at least one mainstream vehicle we can't have here. At the Geneva Motor Show last week, the small but vocal contingent of shooting-brake buffs lamented that the Mazda6 wagon won't be coming to our shores, although they can take comfort in the fact that the vehicle won't get the torquey 250-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine we'll get here. Mercedes-Benz also announced a new headlight technology in Geneva that likely won't be available here anytime soon. It's just the latest in a long line of innovative and potentially lifesaving front-lighting solutions that the federal government doesn't allow in this country due to outdated standards — and a current lack of leadership at the U.S. Department of Transportation. Mercedes-Benz's new Digital Light system that debuted in Geneva uses a computer chip to activate more than a million micro-reflectors to better illuminate the road ahead. The Digital Light headlamps works with the vehicle's cameras, sensors and navigation mapping to adjust lighting for the given location and situation and to detect other road users. The Digital Light technology also serves as an extended head-up display of sorts by projecting symbols on the pavement ahead to alert drivers to, say, slippery conditions or pedestrians in the road. And it can even project lines on the road in a construction zone or through tight curves to show the driver the correct path. Digital Light will be available on Mercedes-Maybach vehicles later this year, although like any technology it's bound to trickle down to less expensive vehicles. That is, if we ever get it here in the U.S. Audi, a leader in automotive lighting, has repeatedly run into snags trying to bring state-of-the-art car headlights to the U.S. The German luxury automaker's recently introduced matrix laser headlight system, which performs many of the same trick as Mercedes-Benz's Digital Light, also isn't legal on U.S. roads. And five years after the introduction of its matrix-beam LED lighting, which illuminates more of the road without blinding oncoming motorists with brights by simultaneously operating high and low beams, Audi still can't bring that technology to the U.S. either.
Audi RS3 Sedan coming to America with over 400 hp?
Wed, Feb 17 2016The Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG is a fast, competent car. It's significantly sharper than the Audi S3, and it should be, since its starting price is around $7,000 more. Still, getting walloped by the higher-performing CLA45 AMG must irk some people at Audi, we'd think, which might explain why there are rumors that the S3's big brother is coming to town. Yes, reports are popping up from an Audi of America employee that the Audi RS3 would transition from its Euro-market Sportback body style to a more conventional four-door, and that its styling would be updated in the process. Oh, and it'll have a 400-plus-horsepower, 2.5-liter, five-cylinder turbo with which to bash the four-cylinder AMG. The report comes from Quattro World by way of CarScoops, and goes on to claim that Audi hallmarks like Quattro all-wheel drive and a seven-speed S-Tronic dual-clutch transmission will both be present. The new RS3 Sedan would arrive on US shores in 2017 as a 2018 model, with prices starting between $55,000 and $60,000. That should make Mercedes-AMG very nervous – the CLA45 may start around $50,000, but getting it past the $60,000-range is simple (your author was driving a nearly $68,000 CLA45 just last month, for example). Naturally, we have a call in with Audi of America to see if there's any credence to this report. Stay tuned for updates. Related Video:
