Pristinely Restorable 1971 Mercedes 280sl on 2040-cars
Year:1971
Mileage:94875
Location:
Winter Park, Florida, United States
|
This car was owned by the former General Sales Manager of a large Mercedes dealership in Jacksonville for 20 years, and as a result this car comes with factory parts and service manuals, as well as most of the invoices for work and parts that have been replaced. This car has a Good, Clear, Florida Title (Not Salvage/Rebuilt) and this title is with the car. This car is being sold for personal reasons, not particularly financial ones. This car was disassembled by the owner, and parts were labeled and placed into Zip-Lock bags as they were removed. This is a 1971 280SL, which is one of the rarest 280SLs ever produced. Only an estimated 420 1971 280SLs were ever sold in the US, and 1971 was the last year they were made. This car should be considered to be the closest to having the least rust of any 280SL that is available for restoration. The pictures should be clear enough to see clear examples of where this car needs bodywork, this is the reason why I have donated my time in the direction of chemically removing most of the paint to display the well preserved metal underneath. This car is very close to being placed upon a rotisserie, media blasted, and then painted in zinc chromate primer. The car has such low rust that it will probably be able to pass the small screwdriver test, where the tip of the screwdriver should not perforate any floor panel or body part. As evidenced by the extremely good condition of the original transmission (in the pictures) this car has been very well preserved. This car comes with every part that is in the pictures. The owner purchased all of the OEM parts while he was at the Mercedes Dealership as the General Sales Manager. A very large number of parts were bought for this car, including brand new bumpers, and nearly every piece of rubber. The engine and the transmission ran fine before the car was disassembled, and much care was taken to label the zip lock bags with parts inside of them. If you would like more details about the parts that are included, or would like close up shots of the part numbers, please contact us. The factory metal plates are intact and original, under the hood and the left door jam. The soft top frame is included with the car, and is located underneath the hard top. The color code for this car is 906 Silver Blue Metallic. There is no stamped metal number in the hood, but all of the gaps on the car generally look good. The $550 Mercedes-Benz matching toolkit and bag for this car is included. The engine number is 130983 12 013109, and the car and engine both have less than 95,000 miles, and a professional Mercedes Engine Re-manufacturer has inspected the engine, and has confirmed that the engine turns over freely, and the rack on the injection pump moves freely. At 90,000 miles the engine head was professionally re-manufactured at the Jacksonville dealership using only quality Mercedes-Benz parts. This car does not have carpets, an exhaust system, a fuel tank, or a front windshield. My suggestion on where to find the replacement parts are From Mercedes Benz, new: Fuel tank 113 470 0701 $1,100 list F windshield 113 671 0410 $755 list Mike at Time Valve 321 254-7200 stainless exhaust ~$900 or so Cindy at GAHH 800 722-2292 for carpet kit This car is being sold "AS IS", and a reasonable amount of effort has been committed to ensure that this is an accurate description of this 280SL in pictures and in text.

Mercedes calling in CLS, E-Class over rubber seal fire risk
Mon, Feb 23 2015Mercedes-Benz has discovered a problem with certain E-Class and CLS-Class models and has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of a recall it's undertaking to resolve the issue. The problem is with the rubber seal at the back of the engine bay, which according to the statement below "may temporarily stick to the hood when it is opened and then may fall into the engine bay when the hood is closed." If it then comes into contact with the exhaust system, it could start a fire. And fires in the engine bay are never a good thing, unless they're contained entirely within the combustion chamber. The issue affects an estimated total of 147,224 E-Class and CLS-Class vehicles, all told, across America – including four-doors, wagons, hybrids and AMG performance models (but no E-Class coupes or convertibles) from the 2013-15 model years. To fix the problem, Benz dealers will simply need to attach four additional clips to keep the seal in place, and will start doing so midway through next month. RECALL Subject : Rubber Seal may Dislodge and Contact Exhaust Report Receipt Date: FEB 13, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V088000 Component(s): STRUCTURE Potential Number of Units Affected: 147,224 Manufacturer: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. SUMMARY: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 E350 Sedan, E350 4Matic Sedan, E350 4Matic Station Wagon, E400 Hybrid Sedan, CLS 550 CGI, and CLS550 4Matic, 2013-2014 E550 4Matic Sedan, 2013 E63 Sedan, E63 Station Wagon and CLS63, 2014-2015 CLS63 4Matic, E63 4Matic Sedan, E63 4Matic Sedan "S", and E63 4Matic Station Wagon, 2015 CLS400, 2015 E400 Sedan, E400 4Matic Sedan and CLS400 4Matic and 2014 CLS63 "S". The affected vehicles have a rubber seal at the back of the engine bay that may temporarily stick to the hood when it is opened and then may fall into the engine bay when the hood is closed. CONSEQUENCE: If the rubber seal falls into the engine compartment, it may contact parts of the exhaust system, increasing the risk of a fire. REMEDY: MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will attach four additional retaining clips to the rubber seal, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin by mid-March 2015. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-201-573-5339. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2015020001. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Daimler could sell off Li-Tec's EV battery business
Sat, May 24 2014Five-plus years may have been about enough time for Daimler AG to know whether it wanted to be in the battery-pack production business. The Mercedes-Benz parent may stop making electric-vehicle batteries and ultimately sell its Li-Tec battery-cell factory in Germany within two years, according to Bloomberg News which cites Manager Magazin. The beneficiary may be LG Electronics, which would likely take over battery-production duties for models such as Daimler's Smart ED battery-electric vehicle. Daimler is taking a number of steps to improve profit margins, which are thinner than those of its German rivals like BMW. Like its German competition, the company has lagged behind companies such as Nissan, Renault and Tesla Motors in terms of aggressively pursuing growth via plug-in vehicle sales. Daimler spokesman Hendrik Sackmann, in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen, would only say that the battery business is growing "rapidly" and that Li-Tec is developing "according to our plans." "Regarding Li-Tec, we are working on a concept for the future line-up," he added. "The battery cells for the successor of the Smart electric drive won't be provided by Li-Tec." Daimler in 2008 launched Li-Tec as a joint venture with Evonik, though Daimler recently put plans together to buy out Evonik's 50-percent share of Li-Tec, Bloomberg reported last month. Evonik's role was manufacturing electrodes and separators for batteries. Daimler also said last fall that it was looking to cooperate more extensively with Tesla in regards to electric vehicle development. The two companies first said they'd work together in 2009.

Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff takes a stake in Aston Martin
Sat, Apr 18 2020LONDON — Mercedes Formula One boss Toto Wolff has taken a stake in British sportscar maker Aston Martin, whose executive chairman Lawrence Stroll runs the Racing Point F1 team, according to company filings. A Mercedes F1 spokesman said Wolff's move was purely an investment on the Austrian's part and would be diluted by a rights issue on Monday from 4.77% to less than 1%. "Fully diluted following the pending rights issue, this investment will represent a 0.95% stake in the company," he added. "It is a financial investment and Toto's partnership and executive role with Mercedes are unaffected by the transaction." Swiss billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli has also bought a 3.38% stake which will be similarly diluted. Wolff previously had a 16% shareholding in former champions Williams but sold that after he joined the Mercedes team, where he serves as principal and owns 30%. Canadian billionaire Stroll, whose son Lance drives for Racing Point alongside Mexican Sergio Perez, is close to Wolff. The Silverstone-based team — to be renamed Aston Martin next year — use Mercedes engines and gearboxes. Mercedes-Benz's parent Daimler also has a small stake in Aston Martin. "It's clear that Aston are now Mercedes' B team," the Daily Mail quoted one Formula One insider as saying. Wolff's future at Mercedes has been the subject of some media speculation, with the 48-year-old linked variously to senior management roles with Liberty Media-owned Formula One and at Aston Martin. His Aston Martin shares were bought from Yew Tree Overseas Limited, a vehicle controlled by Stroll who acquired a roughly 25% percent holding in Aston Martin with a consortium of investors. Mercedes have won the past six Formula One drivers' and constructors' titles but have six times world champion Lewis Hamilton out of contract at the end of the 2020 season, which has yet to start due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hamilton, who has also been linked to Ferrari, had told reporters before the global crisis changed the sporting and financial landscape that his decision would depend on Wolff's plans. The Briton is now expected to stay at Mercedes, with a radical overhaul of Formula One's sporting and technical regulations postponed to 2022. Related Video: Motorsports Aston Martin Mercedes-Benz
