HI, SELLING A 1966 MERCEDES BENZ 230 SL HARDTOP-CONVERTIBLE FOR MY NEIGHBOR. REAR DECKLID EMBLEM SAYS 250, BUT IT'S A 230. PREVIOUS OWNER WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE CORRECT EMBLEM, SO A SUBSTITUTION WAS MADE. HE'S HAD IT FOR 10 PLUS YEARS, AND IT'S BEEN A GREAT CAR FOR HIM. PLEASE CHECK OUT PICS AND ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY, AND I'LL DO MY BEST TO GET ANSWERS. IT'S BEST DESCRIBED AS ABOVE AVERAGE DAILY DRIVER CONDITION. USED AS SOLE MEANS OF TRANSPORT BY METICULOUS ELDERLY GENTLEMAN, WHO REFRESHED THE CAR WITH A REPAINT FROM WHITE TO GREY/BEIGE IN 2003, AND KEPT UP ON ITS MECHANICAL AND PHYSICAL SYSTEMS. THIS IS HIS PRIDE AND JOY. HAS GREAT SOUNDING PIONEER SUPERTUNER CASSETTE STEREO WITH 4 SPEAKERS. I'M SURE NEW OWNER WILL WANT TO REPLACE WITH A BECKER, BUT THE CURRENT OWNER IS PROUD OF HIS STEREO. CAR IS SELDOM DRIVEN , BUT AS OFTEN AS OWNER NEEDS IT, AND THEN IS COVERED. THE CAR HAS NEVER LET MY NEIGHBOR DOWN AS FAR AS DEPENDABILITY. HE TRULY CAN SAY THIS IS A FLY-IN , DRIVE HOME CAR MECHANICALLY, BUT WILL NEED TIRES FOR SAFETY, AS THEY HAVE SUFFERED DRY ROT FROM SITTING. CAR HAS HAD 5,000 MILES PUT ON IT IN TEN YEARS, ACCORDING TO THE ODOMETER, AND THE OWNER. THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN REDONE IN BLUE. THE CAR IS A MANUAL, AND RUNS GREAT. THE MOTOR WAS REBUILT ACCORDING TO WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD MY NEIGHBOR, BUT THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION FOR THAT. I HAVE GATHERED ABOUT THIS MUCH INFORMATION FROM MY NEIGHBOR, WHO IS 90 YEARS OLD, AND I DON'T WANT TO INTERROGATE HIM TOO MUCH, ONLY WANT TO HELP HIM SELL HIS CAR. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM, AND BE 100% CERTAIN AND CONFIDENT & COMMITTED IN EVERY WAY, AS I'M SELLING IT FOR HIM AS-IS, AS A CLASSIC CAR IN DRIVER CONDITION. EVERY NUT AND BOLT IS NOT NEW. IT'S NOT A FRAME-OFF ROTISSIERRIE RESTORATION, SO PLEASE DON'T ASSUME IT WILL BE IMMACULATE. IT'S "NICE", THAT'S HOW I'D PUT IT.THERE ARE IMPERFECTIONS IN THE PAINT, BUMPER, AND TRIM, AS WOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A DRIVEN CAR THATS 47 YEARS OLD. PLEASE SEE ABOVE FOR A DESCRIPTION OF OBVIOUS NOTED IMPERFECTIONS SEEN ON MY QUICK WALK-AROUND. I DO NOT KNOW THIS CAR PERSONALLY, AND HAVE NEVER DRIVEN IT. THIS IS THE KIND OF CAR THAT IS "REALLY NICE", BUT NEEDS SOME ATTENTION IN CERTAIN AREAS TO BE TAKEN TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF EXHIBITION QUALITY. IN MY OPINION AND THE OWNERS ACCOUNTS, ITS TRULY A NICE CAR THAT GETS MANY COMPLIMENTS, MEANT TO BE DRIVEN AND ENJOYED TO ITS FULLEST POTENTIAL BY A MORE YOUTHFUL DRIVER. I WOULD BUY IT, BUT I'M A VETTE GUY. NOTE: WE REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW ANY TYPE OF TAXES WORK ON THIS, BUT BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SALES TAXES. THIS IS A PERSONAL CAR FROM A PRIVATE OWNER. FURTHERMORE, ALL LEGAL & FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITES FOR ALL ASPECTS OF THIS AUCTION AND SUBSEQUENT SALE / TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP ARE ASSUMED BY THE CURRENT OWNER OF THE CAR. THANKS.

Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership
Thu, 19 Dec 2013The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.
New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC
Sat, 02 Feb 2013Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.
Does Alex Rodriguez' Mercedes dealership have a PR problem?
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Alex Rodriguez, in case you haven't heard, is seemingly the new Most Hated Man In Baseball, ostensibly replacing commissioner Bud Selig (for now). Rodriguez was slammed with a 211-game suspension due to his role in the MLB's latest steroid scandal in which "A-Roid," as fans have taken to calling the former superstar, was cited with steroid use and attempts to hide his involvement by "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate" the investigation, according to the MLB's official report.
Why is this on a car site, then? Because Rodriguez' name is attached Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City, TX. An Ad Age report cites Mercedes-Benz USA in saying that A-Rod owns "about half'" of the dealership. Mercedes, for what it's worth, isn't going to any to any lengths to distance itself from its dealership or its controversial namesake, saying, "We never promoted the fact that A-Rod owned a dealership, so there's really nothing to 'distance' ourselves from. And since his activity is not illegal but rather prohibited by MLB, there's nothing actionable here."
With the scandal still a fresh piece of news and A-Rod's pending appeal, it's difficult to tell what sort of effect, if any, his name will have on the dealership's sales. Ad Age contacted the GM of Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz to get the dealership's view, but no calls were returned. According to Mercedes, any name change is up to Rodriguez and his partner(s) at the dealership. Somehow, though, we think A-Rod has other things to worry about beyond his dealership's name.
