1979 Mercedes 450SLC Sports Coupe.

This is a very cool looking car. It has 88,000 miles and has had a recent paint job. The front seats and the rear back seat has new leather. Carpets are all good. Wheels are like brand new and tires are basically brand new (2,000 miles). There was some body work done before the paint job. Some metal was cut out and replaced if the rust was starting to go through and some fiberglass was added in a few spots where rust started but hadn't gone through. The lower fender skirts were added on each side to cover up the original dented and rusted rockers. You would never know they were from a SL model - they look great. The paint would have been great if they had wet sanded it but they didn't. It looks great from 5 feet but if you are up close and look there is some dust marks etc in the paint. I am not a paint person so I don't know if you could still wet sand to bring out the perfect paint or not. Chrome is all real good.

The interior as stated before looks great. There are a couple of issues. the original radio is included (not installed) but I have no idea if it works. I know the antenna would need to be replaced, but as far the rest - I do not know. The heater / AC controls are all there but one side of the mounting bracket is broke. It is attached so you would never know but trying to disclose everything. The cruise control doesn't work and the A/C doesn't work. All components for A/C are there but just doesn't work. Should need it for cruising on a nice summer day. All other components seem to wok fine.

The car is a little cold blooded in very cold weather. In the summer or in warm storage it fires right up. It runs out great and seems to need nothing mechanically. There is a small leak in the auxillary water pump. It will leak a little coolant. It is a $90 part from EcklersMBZparts.

This is a great car that you can jump in and drive or bring to the local shows (almost guaranteed only one there). It will never be a show car unless you can correct the paint and do a frame off restoration. But it is certainly a great 7 out of 10 car.

NADA Values
Original MSRP Low Retail Average Retail High Retail
$37,542 $9,750 $14,750 $21,400

This car would probably be priced around low to average retail by most collector car dealers. I want to make this car go away as I lost my storage space for my toys. My reserve is thousands below low retail!

$500 deposit through PayPal within 24 hours and balance within 7 days.

If you need shipment buyer will make all arrangements.

I would believe you could fly in and drive this car home anywhere, but it is a 35 year old car so I can't make any guarantees.

Mercedes fits new C-Class with AMG kit

Sat, 28 Dec 2013

It's only been a week and a half since Mercedes-Benz revealed the new C-Class, and it'll likely be a while yet before the replacement for the C63 AMG comes along. But if you want to see a preview of what it'll look like, look no further than the AMG aero kit that has just surfaced.
Expected to debut on the new C-Class at the fast-approaching Detroit Auto Show, the AMG Line Exterior Pack adds a new bumpers front and rear, side skirts, dual exhaust tips, mesh grille, aluminum window frames and - most importantly - 18-inch alloys packing upgraded brakes and fitted to a lowered sport suspension. All of which will help any C-Class look the part, even if the engine remains stock.

Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA gets official ahead of Shanghai

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

Mercedes-Benz has something special planned for the Shanghai Motor Show - a new CUV concept that we first saw when it leaked on the internet yesterday. The GLA Concept compact crossover will hit the show stand with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque mated to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive, and likely previews a new production model that we've already spotted testing.
That's not news, but the laser-based headlamps with video-projecting capability certainly are. Mercedes-Benz says the array can project any image or video onto a screen, which is handy since there are a pair of HD cameras mounted to the roof rack. The cameras can be removed and taken with you on all sorts of adventures. The lamps also feature a visible cooling system comprised of a series of fans, and the system helps give the headlights their "sparkle" effect.
Step indoors and the GLA offers up the interior of a high-quality crossover, complete with contrasting leather and plenty of aluminum. The automaker says the cabin was inspired by saddle craftsmanship with "more than 65 feet of hand-stitched seams to hold the raw edges of the leather together."

Mercedes AMG GT3 racecar due in 2016

Sun, Nov 23 2014

Our life with the Mercedes-AMG GT has only just begun, and a full life it looks like it will be. The latest in preposterous two-doors from AMG is launching in GT and GT S flavors, but a few more branches of the family tree are already planned: a racing entry for the FIA GT3 championship is scheduled to appear in 2016, giving the current SLS AMG GT3 another year to gobble up victories before it takes a drive across the Styx. More exciting for those who only suit up on Sunday for church, whispers are that a we'll also get a streetable version of the race car - not called "GT3" because that alphanumeric is owned by Porsche, but definitely aimed at its Stuttgart rival. AMG boss Tobias Moers told Autocar the objective for that car is "more power, less weight, better aerodynamics and different suspension but the targets should be the power to weight ratio, drivability, lap time and tremendous feel." Those targets will be aided by a carbon fiber weight-loss regime of up to 220 pounds and more power - perhaps 550 horsepower - from the currently "very understressed" engine. Supposing that still isn't enough for you, then the Black Series version should curl your toes, if you can wait until 2018 for it.
