1964 MERCEDES 230SL
Beautiful European Model

Here is your opportunity to own a beautiful classic Mercedes Benz 230SL.

 This highly desirable European version of the 230SL has a 4 speed transmission that shifts easily and runs strong!  This stunner will start right up without hesitation, handles great and a pleasure to drive.  The vehicle was a daily driver to work (short distance) for 40 years in the Southern California Area and was loved and well maintained.  The manual and all available service records come with the vehicle.
  
 This gorgeous car has head turning red exterior complimented by black interior.  The eye catching red paint job was nicely done, looks sharp and maintains a beautiful shine that is set off by the original chrome.  The original color code was white, and there are minor imperfections in paint and slight rust at front of windshield (see photos).  The black interior is original and in good shape with the only wear showing to the drivers seat (see photo) and some to the carpet which is also original.  Car has original Nardi steering wheel, wood trim, side panels, dash and interior in good original condition.  Passenger window has minor scratches.  The soft and hard tops look sharp and are in great working order. 

There are no known accidents and the car looks and drives straight. 
 Vehicle has been professionally serviced through the years with the top end of the motor being rebuilt and the rear differential redone (service records available).  When the rear differential was redone the rear end disc brakes were also upgraded so that all four brakes are power disc.  Odometer reads 90000 kilometers converting to approximately 56000 miles.  I am listing this for a friend who is moving and can't accommodate the vehicle at their new residence.
 Please call for more information about the car.  714-642-6010

Don't miss out on this SHARP Classic European Model Mercedes 230SL.

Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman

Fri, 25 Nov 2011

According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.

Firing of M-B boss upheld

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
