1970 Mercedes 280SL manual transmission, red with black interior with only 101k miles. Unlike most of the other 5 digit odometer vehicles, this car has tons of receipts to back it up. Originally Portland Oregon vehicle with only 1 owner till 2012. Vehicle purchased by a collector and shipped to Alabama and stored in climate controlled garaged and never driven. Early this year 2nd owner and my mutual friend mentioned me about the vehicle and immediately I went to see the car and fell in love with it and purchased on the spot. What made me excited was the originality of the car. Still original interior, seats carpets, wood panels, steering wheel, dash (which has cracked in one spot, see the picture) etc. What is not original is the shifter knob, and the radio. Paint is very shiny with few imperfections such as right front fender above the wheel paint scraped (touched up) and small paint crack (about 1 inch), trunk has crescent shape clear coat peel (looks like brake fluid or power steering bottle left on it, about 4-5 inches) and couple of minor dings, some minor paint chips (touched up) on hood, but overall looks very good. Due to the age some panels may have been repainted. It is not a show car or a garage Queen but excellent weekend or daily driver. I have receipts dating back to 1977 and maintained by the same shop. At 99,612 miles engine received major maintenance including all the belts, gaskets, water pump, thermostats and more total of $6,965. This is just one of the last receipt, since then car only driven couple of thousand miles. Original exhaust system is little tired and has some leaks here and there, I bought center and rear muffler but I didn't install them yet. Buyer will receive them at no cost. Tires and rims are in excellent shape. It starts and drives almost every time, never disappointed me. Trunk under the mat has very little surface rust (nothing major) no cutting and welding needed, only light sand and some paint will take care of it. This vehicle is definitely worth restoring to a show quality. It drives straiter than most of the newer cars out there. I never wanted to sell my car but change of job and location forces me to sell it. Most importantly my new house does not have climate controlled garage. This is the first time I am advertising this car, If you look at my feedback you'll see that I am a serious seller. Probably I forgot to mention many stuff but if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I do not have the hardtop, original owner mis-located it. Soft top is in very good condition with minor wear also rear plastic glass is very clear as well. Seats are original with no rips on them, door panels has some wear ( minor cracks), wood panel on the dash shows it's age. Chromes are in very good condition. Everything on the car works including the clock. It drives and stops perfect. You are buying a 43 years old car so there is no warranty or guarantee, if you'd like to see the car before bidding please let me know I have flexible hours. Thanks

2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG spied in Sweden
Wed, 16 Jan 2013We've spotted the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLA testing a couple times in recent months in getting closer to production form and shedding camouflage, but now it looks like we're see our first look at the AMG version of this compact crossover. The low ride height might trick some into thinking that we're just seeing the already-confirmed A45 AMG out testing, but the unique beltline, rear doors and side windows confirm this is some version of the GLA-Class.
What makes us so confident that this is the AMG model? Well, for starters, this prototype has beefier brakes with cross-drilled front and rear rotors and bigger front calipers, but it also sports dual exhaust outlets poking through the rear fascia and a suspension that has been lowered considerably. Our spy shooters said that this car's exhaust note made it almost certainly an AMG model.
Just to be clear, the GLA AMG will not be powered by a 4.5-liter engine. The closely related A45 AMG will carry the "45" in its name to celebrate the first 45 years of AMG, and our sources seem to indicate the AMG version of the GLA will do the same. We're expecting this sporty crossover to produce as much as 350 horsepower from its AMG-tuned four-cylinder engine, and like the all-new E63 AMG, it could very well come standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive.
Mercedes was set to sell version of Nissan Titan, now Infiniti might instead
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz Titan. Mercedes-Benz Frontier. Mercedes-Benz pickup truck. None of these things roll off the tongue particularly well. We'd like to think that's the reason Daimler opted to kill the idea of rebadged Titan and Frontier pickups from corporate ally Nissan. In reality, the execution before the Frankfurt Motor Show was due to more complicated issues.
Yes, Mercedes, byword for German luxury, style and quality, would have slapped a three-pointed star on a pair of Japanese pickup trucks that have failed to resonate with consumers in the world's largest truck market. That slapping of badges isn't much of an exaggeration, at least on the outside. According to the report from Road & Track, the truck's front clip would have been tweaked, but beyond that, the sheetmetal would have been unchanged. The interior would have received a more thorough going-over by the team at Mercedes, while the suspension and noise, vibration and harshness tuning would have also received significant attention.
The trucks would have ended up being sold through the light-commercial branch of Mercedes-Benz - the same folks that will happily sell you a Sprinter van - had the deal gone through. Issues arose, though, first with the engines. Mercedes wanted a wider range of powertrains to allow it to tune models for specific markets, while Nissan said it couldn't engineer the wide variety of engines that MB wanted to drop under the hood. For the smaller truck, meanwhile, MB was interested in a hybrid or plug-in variant, according to R&T, although this was also shot down by Nissan.
