This beautiful 36-year old Mercedes 450SL Convertible Roadster scores 7 to 7.5 out of 10!  Second owner car.  The original owner, not to be disclosed, maintained this car meticulously from its original point of sale, September 23, 1977, at Colonial Imports in Glendale, CA.  Maintenance records from Beverly Hills, LTD, Beverly Hills, CA and then from L & M Motors, Los Angeles, CA are in maintenance book. 


This car has been garaged, and not driven, for the past 8 years.  The car is in overall very nice shape, but needs to be buffed out as it has minor oxidation.  There is evidence of minor paint repair on the right front fender and a very small dent in the rear bumper.  The car is not perfect, but very nice and all original.  There is a small crack in drivers seat (see photo), but otherwise the interior is immaculate.  There is a very small leak on the differential cover, but no other leaks have been noted or seen.  Car will start for a short period of time, but fuel pump is weak.  Everything works well and car was driven frequently prior to being garaged.  It has a new battery and oil change, but would recommend cleaning the fuel system and a new fuel pump.  The tires have approximately 80% tread, but show dry rot and cracking so should be replaced for safety.  

This car has spent its entire life in dry southern California until January 2013 when it was delivered to our garage in southern Oregon.  

We were told that the top has never been removed and does not appear to have been, so we imagine that the convertible top is in like new condition, but have not verified.  As you can see, the original car cover has two holes, one on the drivers mirror and one on top.  

For sale locally for $9,500/OBO.  

NADA shows low retail of $10,500; average retail $19,400 and high retail $27,600.  

As you can see, this car is in extremely nice condition, between average and high retail, and is priced to sell.

PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FULFILL YOUR OBLIGATIONS.
RE-LISTED BECAUSE LAST WINNING BIDDER DID NOT PAY.

Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

If 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."

Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

You 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."

Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details

Mon, 06 May 2013

Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.
