1986 - Mercedes-benz 500-series on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
Very clean, honest, highly maintained, 1986 Mercedes 560 SEC. Complete service history since new. Original owner in Santa Barbara, CA happened to be William Conrad (of “ Jake and the Fat Man” TV Fame). Second owner was a retired attorney in Pasadena, CA. Second owner noticed a slight oil leak from one of the head gaskets and had the heads pulled of the car at about 125K miles and as part of that service had the heads rebuilt while they were off. (These engines easily see 250-300K miles before needing a valve job but the owner felt like having it done since the heads had to be pulled to fix the leak). Car was bought by the third owner and brought to UT in 2012 and used as a daily driver. All of the recent maintenance was performed in order to bring the car current not due to any failure or accident. All power equipment works and Automatic A/C blows cold. This car has been rock solid and has never left me stranded. In 1986, this was the pinnacle luxury coupe from Mercedes-Benz and remains a high style and comfortable cruiser today. Over 10K in recent maintenance and service include, new front lower ball joints, left and right track rods, coil springs, front Bilstein Shock Absorbers, rear Sachs self-leveling Shock Absorbers, Fuel Pump Check Valve, Valve Cover Gaskets, new front grille (original chrome was peeling), Full Synthetic Oil Changes, AMG Aero Wheels, Blaupunkt Head Unit w/ iPod and Bluetooth funtionality.

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."
World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.
