This is a diesel sports car. I started making these turbo stick shift Mercedes in 1993. We have made more then a dozen over the years. Usually our only constraint is finding a good clean car to start with. I have recently come up with this clean California car. It has a clean title and no accident history that I can find or see on the car. It was a one main owner for just about 30 years. I bought it from the second owner because it needed some mechanical work. When I saw how clean the car was I decided to do the conversion. When I started working on the car it had about 252k on the car. The turbo engine that I put in had only 108k. I took it out of the donor car. I have done a bunch of regular reconditioning on the car as I did the conversion. Here are some of the things that I did to the car. Upgraded items from a 240 to 300 radiator entire exhaust bigger oil cooler bigger drive shaft coolant expansion tank air cleaner valve cover breather hose rear differential fan and fan clutch Items that where serviced new clutch, pilot bearing, new oil cooler line 4 new belts motor mounts fog light new clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder shift rod bushings transmission service engine oil service new exhaust header pipe(with flexible part) New rear muffler new paint shift boot shift knob both fuel filters new air filter rear axle new ac dryer with all new oil rings and schreder valves air at 65 degrees alignment stabilizer shocks rear trans support mount hazard switch So I have gone all over this car to make it right. With the parts and services listed above if you where to take it into any Mercedes shop you would leave with about a $5000 bill just because of the amount of work that I did to it. That doesn't even take into consideration the upgraded engine with low miles, (engine value is about 3000 with only 108k). When you add the fun factor this car can be a deal. This car makes any commute more enjoyable. A couple of things that I like about using a 240 body is it has the manual climate control that hardly ever gives any trouble. It also has left and right heat controls. You can also put heat on your feet or the windshield and open the center vent for fresh cooler air. The manual crank window regulators rarely go bad. The other cool thing about this car is the interior is not only above average but it is a less common color. Most of the diesels in this era have tan, or blue interiors, some have black or cream. This color is very uncommon and I like it for that reason. You should still expect about the same fuel economy with this car. Usually I get about 25-28 with a 5 cyl turbo diesel. We have sold hundreds of these Mercedes diesels over the years. Absolutely rust free. Karsten Mercedes only Anderson, CA

UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
