1981 MERCEDES-BENZ 380SL VIN: WDBBA45A6BB005076 THERE ARE OVER 70 IMAGES OF THIS COUPE SHOWN BELOW! DESCRIPTION: This NO RESERVE auction is for an original 1981 MERCEDES-BENZ 380SL convertible. This R107 roadster has had a pampered life and it is showing only a little over 75,000 miles on the odometer. It not only looks fantastic but it produces plenty of usable horsepower with the proven 3.8 liter, V-8 cylinder engine under the hood which is coupled to a smooth shifting 4-speed automatic transmission. These engines have fuel fed by reliable BOSCH fuel injection systems and have proven to be long lasting with normal care and maintainence. This survivor car is very clean and it has a decent "20 footer" exterior and interior. Most of the paint appears original, the wood trim is very good, the carpeting is clean and fresh and there aren't even any cracks on the dashboard! This one owner classic convertible has been adult owned, driven and cared for and it has always been garaged. It has the original hardtop which we put on (for the first time in many years) to take the pictures. It looks nearly brand new and comes with the original Mercedes Benz stand and cover. The convertible soft top is also in decent condition with only two very small (10mm) tears noticed and the clear panels are in nice condition as well. The scarce Roser leather interior has withstood time well and it still has that captivating aroma. There is one very small tear in the underside of the center armrest. It is a pleasure for us to present a machine that is this well put together and cared for. The car was just serviced and there is a new complete exhaust system as well as a brand new battery. It just passed New York State's rigid inspection for emissions and safety. We have a good spare tire, jacking tools, the complete tool kit in the roll, roof removal lever tool and 2 sets of keys. There are no squeaks, rattles or other annoying gremlins to take away from the pure pleasure of cruising around and everything on the car works as designed, even the clock. It is well behaved on the road and it will cruise comfortably at current day highway speeds (and above!) without even breathing hard. It also stops and turns as well as it gets up and goes and it tracks like it is on rails! Be sure to look at the current CARFAX to boost your confidence about the history of the car: 1981 MERCEDES-BENZ 300 SERIES (WDBBA45A6BB005076) In all regards this Mercedes-Benz 380SL won't disappoint you. We couldn't tell if the A/C is working correctly in 45 degree weather, but the chances are good that it will need to be at least serviced. It is an honest original machine that could easily be taken to the next level with some TLC. As our photos of the undercarriage will show, even the bottom of the car is relatively clean and solid with only some rust bubbling in a couple of the body areas that we have shown. The paint is driver quality and what you would expect from a driven car used throughout it's life in a suburban environment. There are some scratches, chips, assorted touch ups and blemishes, but no sign of prior body work or fillers of any kind. The glass and brightwork are good. As with all of our eBay Motors listings we try to let our high resolution photographs tell the story about the vehicles that we are selling. We have shots from every possible angle in slightly different lighting conditions with both tops in place and in roadster form. If you study our clear multiple images very carefully, you will see exactly what this vintage convertible is all about. With the low original mileage we feel that this example deserves serious consideration. It looks really good and it is a heck of a lot of fun to drive. The clear images of this vehicle, shown below, will do a much better job of describing the look, style, condition and value of this vintage Mercedes-Benz 380SL than our words ever could. We invite questions and comments and there is NO RESERVE on this auction!

Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells
Sat, Jan 10 2015Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.

Mercedes-Maybach SUV concept headed for Beijing reveal in April
Mon, Mar 19 2018Mercedes-Benz has toyed with the idea of a Maybach SUV for at least 11 years. According to Autocar, we'll finally see a concept with production intent at the Beijing Motor Show next month, the luxury SUV slated for market release next year. As has been the rumor for at least six years, the Maybach people carrier will be based on a stretched version of the GLS, which moves to the company's new Modular High Architecture with the 2019 model. Back in 2007 when Maybach was its own brand and selling roughly 300 units per year, Car magazine reported that brand chiefs were interested in convertible versions of the Maybach 57 and 62 sedans, and an SUV. Maybach built a one-off concept based on the GL — the former GLS-Class — in 2009, but never took the idea further. The rumor popped up again in 2014, then in 2015, reaching not-if-but-when status early last year. A decade on, it's finally time to play the hand. Even though the super-luxe SUV would sit on a stretched version of what is already a three-row SUV, it's reasonable to expect the Maybach SUV will only get two rows. That would give designers plenty of extra room for seating luxury and amenities even beyond the S-Class Maybach. On the other hand, if Mercedes sticks to the rough Maybach playbook so far, a triple-row Maybach would be the only such SUV in the mid- to upper-six-figures. The S-Class 560 4Matic starts at $102,990, the S 560 4Matic Maybach starts at $168,600. Applying that spread to the $94,500 GLS 550, you'd land around $160,000 before adding the markup for a new generation. That kind of starter pricing might make a great tweener proposition. Mercedes could focus on a range of buyers who want to go upscale from the $125,300 AMG GLS 63, without needing to worry — yet — about challenging Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Power is said to come from some version of the company's oft-applied 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that puts out 462 horsepower in the S 560, but the 3.0-liter inline-six hybrid in the S 560e is under consideration. We'll know next month, when the lightly veiled concept takes the stand in China. The full-on production version should get an introduction at this year's L.A. Auto Show. Related Video:
