Not many cars defy time like this beautiful 1975 Mercedes Benz 450SL. Even today nearly 25 years after they went out of production, they still command respect and remain grad A cars to own & drive, representing a excellent investment. This 450 SL sports a lovely light Ivory exterior that looks great with the bamboo (tan) interior and a new brown convertible top. With only 75K original miles the condition of the car is exceptional which is a testament to the quality of original material & the German engineering and the care that has been given the car since new. All chrome & stainless remains bright. The condition of the interior strongly suggest that it has been exceptionally well maintained. Overhead is a new brown convertible tops that fits snugly & of course the matching hard top is like new. The trunk has the original mat, spar tire, jack & even the original set of tools in the tool pouch. The 4.5 liter V-8 engine is a wonderful machine. The engine compartment is well maintained with no leaks. The three speed automatic transmission shifts great. There is no rust on the car and even has a Rust Buster installed in the trunk which electronically controls corrision .
History of the MB: I purchased March 2012 from Black Forest Mercedes Benz in Glendale, Wi. They had purchased from original owners. The engine had seized due to oil pump failure. Black Forest completely disassembled the engine & rebuilt, replaced all seals in the transmission, motor mounts replaced, steering idler arms bushing replaced, all new belts, coolant hoses, all new fuel line hoses including injector lines. Ignition coil, ballast resistors, dist. cap & rotor ignition wires spark plugs new. All operating fluids were replaced:coolant power steering fluid, differential oil, brake fluid. New shock absorbers, new Kumho Ecsta ASX tires. The mileage when all this work was accomplished was 70,311. I have all the invoices from the work & the total was $11,915.00. Additional extra nice features have been added to the car. 1986 15" MB alloy wheels, front spoiler, and a draft stop screen to be used when the top is down. Also, have installed a new fold top case mechanism, rear sway bar links and catalytic converter. There is a very small crack in the front edge of the dash, small paint bubble on right door by chrome (photo shows) and small scratches just below the back window from removing the hard top. I have tried to describe a true picture of this vehicle. You can see that I have 100% positive reviews on Ebay. This is one beautiful mechanical free 450SL that is truly ready to enjoy this spring & summer. The reserve is set very reasonable. I will be happy to answer any questions but do request only serious inquires please. Will also be available to assist with shipping needs. |

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.
Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
New European charging network will offer speeds up to 350 kW
Tue, Nov 29 2016It's about to get easier to fast-charge your electric vehicle across Europe thanks to four major automakers working together in a new joint venture. BMW, Daimler (Mercedes-Benz), Ford, and the VW Group (Audi and Porsche) have all signed a Memorandum of Understanding to install about 400 DC fast charging sites in Europe. As you may know, there are different types of fast chargers, but the ones that this group is talking about installing will be able to charge an EV in much less time than other stations. That's because these chargers will offer power levels of "up to 350 kW." Compare that to what's generally considered the current gold standard, the Tesla Superchargers, which have rates of up to 145 kW and a statement not that long ago from a Ford exec that suggested that 150 kW chargers would be the new normal. Of course, the Tesla chargers use the company's proprietary connector and the new network the JV is setting up will use the CCS standard. The first new stations will go up in 2017 and those 400 sites are just the beginning. A joint statement by the JV says that EV drivers will "have access to thousands of high-powered charging points" by 2020 along highways and main roads. "The charging experience is expected to evolve to be as convenient as refueling at conventional gas stations," the companies said. While not every electric vehicle will be able to take advantage of the 350 kW charging rate, the companies involved would be silly to build the infrastructure without vehicles that can handle that kind of energy flow. The JV says it would welcome participation from other automakers and will cooperate with interested regional partners.
