This is a 1988 Mercedes 560 SL...It runs like a dream. I am selling it because I intended to when i purchased it two years ago. I bought it from a friend that was relocating from Michigan to Texas which is where he bought the car originally. Before that it appears that it belonged to the co-owner of the Cincinnati Bengals. The car was in "barn" condition when i acquired it. Since then I have had a thorough tune-up w/ documentation, I have replaced the radiator with OEM, I have replaced the starter w/ a new Bosch starter, and as a precaution i replaced the fuel pump (s) because when i received the car it had old gas in it (which i removed before starting.) I have also bought a brand new battery, replaced the soft top cover, and put new palomino seat covers on. I also replaced the cd/mp3/usb player and installed all new speakers. This car is a lot of fun....I meant to sell this car much sooner than now but i love the way this thing rides....And since it is a 1988 it was the next to the last year for the classic 107 body style.....If you are buying this car you probably have all the specs so why bother, feel free to contact me with any questions....There is some minor body dings/paint damage but is original paint and i never bothered because it was never my intention to restore this car. ( I tried to get good pictures) The odometer is not accurate, my best estimate from the previous titles (which i have) Is that there is approx. 100,000 miles....This was a Texas car and was stored indoors at all times so there is no rust. There are new tires and a full spare w/ OEM jack in excellent condition. My intention is to sell this car, so i am setting the reserve at my break even (not including time) which is $8,500 good luck and please contact w/ any questions....This is an excellent classic car that rides and drives great. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have.

Mercedes goes boating again with G63 AMG-inspired Cigarette
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Cigarette Racing has another Mercedes-Benz AMG-themed boat headed out to sea. After The SLS AMG-inspired 46-foot Rough Rider in 2010 and the C63 AMG Black Series-inspired 50-foot Marauder in 2012, this year's Miami Boat Show will introduce the 42-foot Huntress, theme provided by the G63 AMG.
The latest Cigarette homage is less overly racy than the ones before, befitting a watercraft modeled off a performance SUV, but don't let the looks fool: there are five Mercury Racing Verado 350SCi outboard engines, each one of them packing a supercharged inline six-cylinder with, natch, 350 horsepower. Those 1,750 horses will be good for 78 miles per hour when you've got some saltwater underneath you.
If you're in South Florida this week, Booth B-23 at the Miami Convention Center could be your best place to see it. Otherwise, like the 536-hp G63 AMG, it could be hard to catch. There's a press release with more information below.
Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris
Thu, 11 Apr 2013It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.
How could a lifted Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG be more awesome? Add an axle
Fri, 01 Mar 2013We are fully confident in saying that this will be the most amazing thing you see all day. First of all, it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen - in AMG spec, no less. And it's being shown off in high-definition video glory, blasting through the desert, jumping over sand dunes, and generally being awesome. But here's the kicker: It has six wheels. Three axles. And they're all driven. Holy $%!#.
Under the hood is AMG's usual 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, and total output is rated at 536 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That's impressive and all, but do keep in mind that the G63 6x6 weighs in at 8,322 pounds or, you know, the weight of two E-Class sedans. Combine that with its 18 inches of ground clearance, 37-inch tires and five locking differentials and you've got a vehicle capable of, well, everything you've ever imagined or will ever imagine for the rest of your life.
But the goodness doesn't stop once you open the doors. Oh, no. This thing is fit for a king - or a sheik, more appropriately - with ultimately luxurious seating for four. The rear bench seat has been removed in favor of two bucket seats with a fixed console in the middle, and the rear seats have been moved back beyond the usual B pillar to allow for more legroom.
