This is the one, what a dream boat!  Beautiful and fast Mercedes 190e 2.3-16.  16 valve Mercedes Cosworth from 1986.  I am the 3rd owner, have owned it for the past 12 years and it has only 55k original miles.  I bought it from the 2nd owner in 2002 and drove it more often when I first bought it but now only drive it once a month on nice days.  No winters, only the occasional sunny day.  Garage kept.  It was a third car so I just enjoyed it here and there.  It's fast and runs like a top!  

A little history about this car:  It's a 1986 and was imported brand new to the US in December of 1985.  My paperwork from the DOT says it arrived in the US on 12/28/85. I bought it from the 2nd owner.  It was the wife's car, she was a stay at home mom, and didn't use it much.  When I bought it, she had a baby's car seat in the back!  It is European with the faster engine and it shows.  It has more horsepower and it's a blast to drive.  I have a ton of paperwork with it.  Service records from the past 15 years for tune-ups, etc for around $6,000.  A lot of service was done at Mercedes of White Plains in NY. 

Condition: Great!  I'd say it is an 8 out of 10.  It's fast and runs like a top. It has a 5 speed transmission, the dogleg transmission.  The exterior is probably an 8.  It's all original paint, etc., but it has a couple chips and a couple scratches.  There is no rust and the car is extremely good but not perfect. There are some buff swirls on the rear spoiler.  The very bottom part of the side skirts have a couple spots where the black is worn off.  That's about it.  The wheels are mint, the spare wheel is mint.  They are the original factory wide wheels.  The tires only have a couple thousand miles and the spare tire has never been used.  The interior is also about an 8.  It is excellent but not perfect.  The leather seats are extremely good but there are a couple of tiny wear spots, no rips or anything.  One of the rear seat belt buckles is broken but works fine.  The window molding on the back two doors are coming up a little.  The display isn't working on the stop watch in the dash.  That's about it.  The rest is just about in excellent condition.  I believe the A/C needs a freon charge.   The radio and rear speakers were updated in the early 2000s but I have the original beckers radio if you want it.  I forgot to picture it.  All gauges work great.  Dash is nice.  It has an AMG steering wheel which  was on it when it was imported to the US.  It has the original manuals and tools.  No leaks.

I bought the car because it was in excellent shape with very few miles.  I did a carfax when I purchased it in 2002 and I still have it.  It's clean with no issues.  I can provide a copy if you email me.  The car is extremely nice.  I have the NY state title.  I'm not a mechanic so I don't know all the technical stuff but please email me with questions and I'll try to answer them as best as I can.  This is a beauty!!!  And there is no reserve so the highest bid wins!  The car is located in Amherst, NH.  Feel free to email if you want to see it/test drive it.

Again, please email me with any questions.  I'll try to answer them as best I can and can take more pictures upon request.  Thank!  I've never had it professionally waxed or detailed.  I'm sure it would look fantastic if it was.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.

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.

Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.
