1957 MERCEDES BENZ 220S PONTON
"MARLENE"
This is a very clean 220S Ponton sedan. Body is straight with no rust or damage, there is one patch panel on passenger floorboard underneath car, and that is it. Stainless is good, just a few small dings. Chrome is OK with some pitting on pot metal pieces. Since these photos were made I have replaced the trim pieces in the grill, and the grill itself, so the grill is actually very straight, I will be adding some more pictures in a couple of days. Paint is just OK, some dings and crazing, a 15 ft job, car has been repainted at some point but is presentable. Trunk and engine compartment clean. Interior is very good with original style leatherette coverings. Carpet is original style in good condition. Wood dash and window trim in very good condition. Front windshield has crack in one corner. Original am/fm/sw radio and power antennae work. Overall very clean interior. Needs door rubber and windshield rubber replaced. Engine runs very well and is original 6 cylinder with 4 speed manual transmission. Car drives and rides very very well. I have spent over 6500.00 dollars on rebuilding the front end and replacing engine and transmission mounts. Fuel tank has been cleaned and resealed. Overall this is a very presentable driver that you can restore while you enjoy driving her. Mileage is unknown, I am sure it is more like 137,000. The Texas tags do not go with car.
I have title in my name in hand and ready to transfer.

Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer
Mon, 28 Jan 2013Carlsson'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.
Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring
Thu, 17 Oct 2013If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."
Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader
Mon, 25 Mar 2013In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.
