I am selling my My 1979 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL 6.9 for sale to restore or for parts. this car has been in storage since 2003 in doors. the sad thing is that the car was stored in side but the car was backed in front of a window which unfortunately let the sun come in to the back window for 12+ years. the UV in the sun light destroyed the back seats from sitting so long in the same spot. This car is unique in that its a Me cum auction car which means that the car in 2003 was a show car with low mileage. I have some papers to verify this. I am the 2nd Titled owner of this car. because I am Moving to Seattle due to my health and have other cars to ship, I cannot bring this car with me so its being sold for a bargain price to move the car. I WILL NOT take anything below 4,500 and if anyone who knows these cars knows the that mileage and the condition warrant the sale much higher. so.. I will stop the bid if someone wants the car for 5,000 but once bidding starts I will not stop it until the end of the bidding. I have photos of the car in 2003 trim before the storage if needed.I have paper work that will be given showing the Me cum heritage.

The 6.9 was the top of the line car for Mercedes Benz from 1977-1979. it has the 417cc liter dry sump racing engine that MB also used in its limousines make this car the fastest Sedan in the world for many years. Only 1,700 were imported to the united states and 517 (figures vary) were made in 1979 making this car rare indeed. this peculiar car was at one time a show car but unfortunately the car was stored in a barn and forgotten when the Original owner died and only recently has been brought out to the day light.

needs: car has not been started in several years though at the time of storage it was driven in and parked with NO mechanical issues. the car as you can see has settled ( as they all do with this type of suspension) the engine does turn over but has not been started by a certified MB mechanic, I agree with him that we would recommend draining the gas tank and maybe cleaning the spark plugs before starting. there should be no reason that the car would not start as there are no mechanical issues at the time of initial storage. the worst on the car would be the back leather seats as seen in the pictures, there are some rust bubbles on the paint particularly on the hood and near the sun roof but other wise the car is in good condition retaliative to its age .Once restored this car will bring easily between 15-32,000 depending of the level of restoration. At any given time there are maybe 1 or no 6.9's listed on Ebay or any other online source. this car cannot be driven home due to the tune up I would give it to get it running ( yes some have asked..) if there are any other questions please ask, and bid accordingly 40748 2709c and good luck!

Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz expand collaboration

Tue, Oct 27 2020

Aston Martin on Tuesday expanded a deal with Daimler to access the German automaker's technology, including its hybrid and electric drive systems, in exchange for new shares as the struggling British luxury carmaker's new boss drives changes. The company will place 250 million new shares with new and existing institutional investors at 50 pence (currently around 65 cents) a share, said the 107-year car maker that hired Tobias Moers, former CEO of Mercedes-AMG, to become its boss from August. The new shares issued would increase the size of Mercedes-Benz's stake to no more than 20% by 2023 from the current 2.6% in several stages. "We take another major step forward as our long-term partnership with Mercedes-Benz AG moves to another level with them becoming one of the Company's largest shareholders," said Chairman Lawrence Stroll. The German firm would get the right to nominate one non-executive director to Aston Martin's board after its first shareholding increase. The James Bond car maker, which has started deliveries of its first sport utility vehicle, the DBX, reported third-quarter adjusted core loss of 29 million pounds compared with a profit of 43 million pounds last year and revenue that nearly halved to 124 million pounds.

Mercedes GLE-Class shows a new face for the luxury crossover in NYC

Thu, Apr 2 2015

Segments don't get much hotter than luxury crossovers at the moment, and that makes for some perfect timing for Mercedes-Benz to unveil the GLE-Class at the 2015 New York Auto Show. As a replacement for the M-Class, the new model offers a more traditional looking alternative to the styling of its swoopy sibling, the GLE-Class Coupe. Mercedes' designers crafted a nose for the GLE that gives it a strong family resemblance to the Coupe, but the rest of the shape bears a chunky, more utilitarian appearance. Elsewhere, the new model sticks with the thick C-pillar and wraparound rear glass of the outgoing M-Class but with sharper edges for a slightly more muscular look. Stepping inside, occupants find all of the German luxury brand's latest styling cues. Mercedes is making a major commitment to adding more plug-in hybrids to its vehicles in the coming years, and the GLE is one step in that process. The lineup includes the GLE550e 4Matic that pairs a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo V6 with electric assistance to produce a total of 436 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. The German brand isn't going entirely green, though, and the range also includes the Mercedes-AMG GLE63 and GLE63 S, powered by a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 that produces 550 hp or 577 hp, respectively. Check out the photos above from the show floor to get a full look at this upscale crossover before it arrives at dealers later this year.

LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
