I am selling a 1983 Mercedes Benz Turbo Diesel that is in very good condition. I bought the car from the second owner who had it stored in her garage not driven over the past five years. A family member stated that he started the car once every two weeks. I bought the car about a month ago for my wife to drive up and down the mountain from Boulder to Estes Park. She thought the car was a little to out dated for her to drive. The injection pump had been replaced in 2008 prior to being stored. The engine housing is in very clean condition and shows not sign of leaking. I have driven the car for only 200 plus miles, I had the old fuel removed, new diesel put in with a very expensive fuel system cleaner. I had the coolant system flushed and MB coolant put in. The car runs and drives very well and shifts very nice. The car comes with a plug in heater for the block, factory sun roof that opens and closes perfectly. The car has no accidents and the paint shows very well. NO RUST on this car at all, windows work and are very fast up and down. Doors shut like a benz door should. Has cruise control that works, electric passenger mirror, interior is in very nice shape and is the MB Tex. All electrics work except the tach and clock. I am going to have the sending unit for the tach replaced and will be working for the sale of the car. Turbo works well and has good power for hills and passing. The reason I say it works well is I had a Porsche turbo and power after driving that car is hard to gauge. Windshield blades are new, tires are 75% tread left. Chrome and trim are in great condition and have no wear or rust. I have set a reserve and will let the auction run its course. I have no "buy it now" in mind so please do not ask. Car is in great shape and if an individual wants to do a PPI, the cost is on you and must be done prior to the end of auction.
On Apr-04-13 at 13:25:14 PDT, seller added the following information:
The car is a D model and not an E. It was auto posted by ebay and I am unable to change it. Also the door locks are listed as electric, I believe and will probably hear about if I am wrong they are run off a vacuum pump.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid
Tue, 16 Sep 2014You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."
Zetsche's CEO tenure extended through 2016 at Daimler
Sun, 24 Feb 2013There appear to be two takes on Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche having his contract extended for three more years, to 2016. A report in The Detroit News quotes the chairman of Daimler's supervisory board, Manfred Bischoff, talking up the stability at the top, "With today's extensions of the contracts of Dieter Zetsche and Thomas Weber, we are maintaining the important continuity at the top executive level." Bischoff also stated that that Zetsche has a plan to "further enhance Daimler's overall performance."
Over at Reuters, though, the three-year extension was seen as a lack of complete confidence in Zetsche's plans, since his contract was supposedly meant to be extended by five years. A spokesman said the board decided to extend executive contracts by only three years if the person was 60 or would turn 60 during the contract, but that was news to observers. Zetsche wants to make Mercedes-Benz the top selling luxury manufacturer globally by 2020, but has fallen to third place behind Audi and BMW. It hasn't held the top spot 2005, and investors judged it valued at half that of BMW at the end of 2012 once Daimler's truck business was subtracted.
Analysts cites the fact that Daimler stock hasn't bested its rivals but twice in twelve years, and that the company revised its profit target downward last year by nearly one billion euros, warning of stagnant earnings this year and will miss its original margin target for 2013.
