Hi, I am selling my 1969 Mercedes 280SL roadster. I am the second owner and this an original car with CA black and yellow plates.

If you have ever wanted to, dreamed of or thought of owning one of these then this is the car for you.

I searched for one for many years and stumbled across this one by chance and after 8 months of discussions was able to adopt if from the original owner.

This car has all of its original panels and anyone who is familiar with these 113 models will know what they're looking at when they start looking. For those of you that don't here is what to look for and this car has it.

Original spot welds on every panel, fender notches at the bezels, dimpled texture grain firewall pad ( they do not reproduce this texture anywhere), the original plastic insert in the floor shifter housing (they do not reproduce this); the original spare tire cover, jack, tool kit (likely never used)

The original interior, carpets, trunk mat, visors, motor, trans, etc.

This car is as came from the factory and purchased by the original owner.

Original paint with 7.6 - 8 mils all around

I have the original title, and original documents all the way from 1969 - today. Both sets of original keys. All of the original factory literature and owners documents that came with the car except the data plate which they could not find. It does have the original book that the data plate came in and where the data plate was removed. You can get another from the MBZ classic center..

I have the original frigiking ac warranty card which is very rare. I have the original set of chains purchased from the dealer as the original owner was terrified of getting caught in a snow storm going over the pass. The chains were never used and no snow storm was ever encountered which always seems the case when you have chains!!

I have the original convertible top chrome handles and pouch as shown in the picture. The original soft top is on the car and the hardtop is in my garage. It is black and the wood is beautiful.

So I could go on and on about this car being an unmolested example but I think you get the idea and I would not want to detract from the beautiful condition of this vehicle. Yes, there are some dings, paint chips and scratches but that being said, this car is still a 10 out of 10 for an original car.

The paint shines for the most part with some wear and age on the hood and trunk as can be expected from years of use with lacquer paint. The rims seem like new. the interior panels and dash seem like new. The seats have no tears or rips although they have 133000 miles on them.

The chrome and bright work are lovely

What makes this car rare is the condition, ownership and traceable history. I said it before and I truly mean it and that is why I purchased it, if you have ever wanted one, this is the one.

The car is being sold to help with funds for a down payment on a home. I am recently married and we would like to have our "own" together.

If you have any questions please just ask. I have hundreds of hi res images I can send to your personal email and will be uploading a short video on you tube soon.

Read my feedback, see what I have sold and bid with confidence knowing what I say is what you will receive.

The car is registered in CA and I have the title in hand.

I will end it there before I change my mind.

Good luck and drive em, don't hide em.

Bob

I just want to let everyone know that I am truly overwhelmed by the interest in my car and will try to get back to each and everyone of you as soon as I can.

I serviced the transmission, differential, engine oil, and AC 1000 miles ago.

If you have any questions I can be reached at 714-612-1267

Thanks,
Bob

2019 BMW X7 vs luxury SUV rivals: Comparing specs and photos

Wed, Oct 17 2018

Today we get our first-ever look at the first-ever 2019 BMW X7 crossover. We've actually already had our first-ever drive in an X7 Prototype. And so, we thought it appropriate to follow that up today with the first-ever X7 comparison of specs between BMW's first-ever three-row crossover with legitimate room for seven and its many high-dollar competitors. On paper, the 2019 X7 definitely seems to most closely align with the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. Their similar dimensions, interior space, engine choices and price would certainly imply where BMW placed the target when developing X7. We used those same elements to determine three-row vehicles likely to be cross-shopped or that should be cross-shopped. These include the Audi Q7, Land Rover Discovery, Volvo XC90 and Lincoln Navigator. Yes, the latter is a truck-based SUV as opposed to a crossover, but tell that to all the people lining out the door at the local Lincoln emporium. They do not care, and neither shall we. We also included the 2019 BMW X5, which was completely redesigned for this year and therefore not the first-ever. That makes it less appealing? Either way, lining the new X5 up with the SUV that leapfrogs it atop BMW's SUV hierarchy should provide a good idea of just how much more you get by going up a model number. Engines and model lineup Again, the X7 aligns closest with the GLS, offering a base six-cylinder in its xDrive40i model and an upgrade turbo V8 in the xDrive50i. The Mercedes engines have greater output, but the GLS still accelerates slower than the BMW. As the 2019 X5 offers the exact same engines, we would also expect the X7's fuel economy to be superior to the GLS once its estimates are announced. It should be noted, though, that the GLS offers a high-powered AMG model whereas we anticipate the X7 to offer a plug-in hybrid model comparable to the X5 upcoming xDrive45e model. The other luxury SUVs diverge in their engine choices and model lineup. The Audi Q7 offers a base turbocharged four-cylinder, as does the Volvo XC90 in its T5 model, which we left out of the above chart entirely for space reasons. That the Q7 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 gets the same fuel economy estimates as the four-cylinder is proof positive that engine is purely around for its lower base price.

Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.
