Up for grabs here is an original, very limited production 1955 MERCEDES BENZ 170 S-V-D DIESEL Pickup truck. Fewer than 80 of these trucks were built and of that 80 only 3 are left known to exist worldwide. While this pickup would be a relatively easy restoration it would make an awesome Resto-Rod. I have owned this little gem for over 30 years and was driving it up to 1989 at which time I had the output shaft bearing in the transmission blow apart taking with it the rear transmission cover. It took me a couple years to cross reference that cover to find that they used the transmissions from a 300 Diplomat in these trucks and while I eventually did get a replacement cover I never got around to restoring the truck as intended. The truck has been kept in inside storage ALL the time since it was disabled. The only parts missing from this pickup are the front bumper and rear bumperette's, the clock and the floor mat. The truck is otherwise complete and original right down to the semiphore's which incidentally are in perfect condition. I have over the years collected up most all the parts for a complete engine rebuild including new Mahle pistons, Gelco main and rod bearings, a complete gasket set, new outside door handles w/key, new horn ring, new axel boots and on and on. The engine is an OM 636 Diesel attached to a four speed manual column shift which is one of the easiest and smoothest shifting manual transmissions built in that era. As this truck was first shipped to a Mercedes dealer in Australia to be used as a parts delivery truck it sports right hand steering. Truck shows no obvious cancer issues floors are solid as are the floors in both battery boxes ( takes two 6 volt batteries ) and while the driver door does have to be lifted slightly to latch, the passenger door shuts perfectly as would be expected of a new truck. I have listed this truck in an auction format with a modest reserve given it's rarity. Due to e-bays limited options about title I entered "clear title" however there is no title, I do however have all the import documents in hand. I would consider taking as part trade a very low mile Buell 1125 CR, BMW S1000 RR or interesting Ducati. I do have other interests as well but due to my age and current disabilities I am not looking for any projects. If you wish to speak to me about this truck please e-mail me your phone number and include which time zone you are calling from and a good time to call you back. For an international sale I can arrange shipping (at the buyer expense) to either a Texas port or California port which ever is closest to the trucks destination. Shipping from that port must be arranged by the buyer. Buyer has 30 days free inside storage before the vehicle needs to be removed and for a longer period with prior arrangements. A $1000.00 deposit will be expected through PayPal within 24hr's of listing end and the balance in cash, cashiers check within 5 days of listing end.

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.
Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring
Thu, 17 Oct 2013If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."
Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman
Fri, 25 Nov 2011According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
