1978 Mercedes Benz 280ce--classic Coupe, Clean, Original, Gasoline. Rare. on 2040-cars
Lake Oswego, Oregon, United States
|
1978 MBZ 280CE- A nice running classic Mercedes coupe sure to only appreciate! A classic you can drive every day. Originally and always an Oregon car. Oregon custom plates, "280CE".
This is a solid, original, never wrecked survivor, not restored but in close to perfect condition, needing just minor details to be a showpiece. Engine is the super reliable Mercedes M110 straight six, twin overhead cam--starts runs great, no bad noises or smoke. Automatic transmission shifts nicely and without delays or slipping. All the power accessories, steering, brakes, etc. operate as they should. Sunroof opens and closes with no problem. Power windows all work well. No leaks but some seepages here and there as expected on a 36 year old car. Nothing on the ground where the car is parked. Paint is a second coat and fading in places, please refer to pictures: this is what it looks after a good wash, not perfect, a ten footer. No dents or scrapes on the body. No rust to speak of, some oxidation on exposed metal surfaces but nowhere near a rust through. Interior leather is generally good and undamaged save for a one inch tear on the passenger seat bottom cushion. Headliner is perfect. Carpets are clean but some have some unraveling in the corners, still quite usable. The adjust plastic handles on the driver's seat are broken but that doesn't affect the ability to move the seat. Heater controls work well, heater is fine, the A/C blows cold and cools but admittedly not to a modern car standards. Dash is not cracked. Radio is a cassette Pioneer, quite '80's. Power antenna needs a new mast but the motor works. Wheels are chromed MBZ wheels, some peeling, pictured. Tires are matching Michelin Energy with 60% tread left. Front brakes and brake fluid are new. Fresh engine oil. It has been sitting for a few months without daily use so a good service would be welcome, then it could be a daily driver. |

Mercedes-Petronas AMG W04 launched to little fanfare, lots of pressure [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013No indoor cocktail hour for the launch of the W04, the newest chassis built by the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team. Instead, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton spent a morning in photo and video sessions at the track in Jerez, Spain then paused a moment to introduce the car. The team will want the W04 to demonstrate the World Championship credentials of the team personnel and one of the team drivers, instead of the mostly humble performances we've seen over the past three years.
The W04 has been fitted with a new five-element front wing, pushrod front and pull-rod rear suspension, a second-generation Coanda exhaust and an "aggressively packaged" rear end. A small vanity panel, à la Infiniti Red Bull's RB9, covers the stepped nose.
Team principal Ross Brawn has called it "a clear step forward in design and detail sophistication," but as much as we truly respect Brawn's abilities and achievements, we heard him say similar things about the updated W03 last year before almost every race weekend from about mid-season. We really hope he's right this time, and so does the team's newest driver, Lewis Hamilton. We'll do our best to ignore the parallels of the Mercedes F1 team having signed a sponsorship deal with Blackberry, another company trying to find its way back to the top and still struggling, and just point you to the video below of the W04 in action.
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."
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.
