1958 Mercedes-benz 220s W180 Coupe Completely Restored on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Oregon, United States
|
We at Henry’s Foreign Automotive Service & Sales, Inc. are proud to offer you this 1958 Mercedes-Benz 220S Coupe. This car feels like it’s become part of our family as we began the whole restoration process back in early 2007. This project was supervised and completed by our late boss Henry. Henry was a true old timer who grew up with these kind of special vehicles. Our car was the subject of a complete, body off, nut & bolt restoration of all the mechanical and cosmetic components. The 220S Coupe lays airborne on our lift and every morning this brings joy to our eyes.
We have over 200 pictures of the restoration process from 2007. We also have almost 6 inches of service records, invoices, and notes documenting the whole project. Winner of the auction will receive all the paperwork and a thumb drive of all the pictures we have collected of our car. You will have enough of our previous notes to be able to restore it again after the next 50 years. This Mercedes Benz “Ponton” W180 220S Coupe model was a rare bird indeed. Only 1,251 of these coupes were produced. Very few of these are still around today, especially in this condition. If you want a good history lesson, google mbzponton. As of today the odometer reads 2 miles after everything underneath the car was rebuilt. The engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, and exhaust were all meticulously redone by our beloved Henry. Please ask for detailed pictures underneath, you will see true quality. Our shop was modified to accompany the 220. Henry had to give the coupe its own space to have the proper attention she needed. In 2008 we purchased a lift that would only be used for the Mercedes. Even after we installed new tires we kept the car in the air to prevent any possible “flat-spots.” We only drove it to the alignment shop for some final adjustments. The interior is beautiful. We decided on a red interior styling to accommodate the black paint. You will be excited every time you open the doors. New carpet, new headliner, re-finished wood trim, the leather is new on the seats. Original stereo had been brought back to life. Everything is working as it should. I have too many pictures to broadcast on this webpage. Please email me for additional pictures and albums of the restoration process, documentation, and the current pictures inside and out. We know you will love this car. We have clear NEVADA title. This is for a true collector, museum, or someone who will love this as much as we do. You can call us at 541-535-1775. Let me know if you would like me to do a walk-around inspection of the car for you. I can email you many pictures underneath the vehicle. You are welcome to have a specialist come to our business and inspect the car for you. I have many more pictures I can email you slideshow links through photobucket. Winner of the auction will be given our banking information for money wire. $1,000.00 non-refundable deposit is due to our PayPal account within 24 hours of auction end. Payment in full is due within 5 business days after the auction. The car is currently located in Phoenix, OR Email me at krolak.lukasz@gmail The Datacard for the Mercedes I have scanned and ready to email you.

2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.
Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.
Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG spied in Sweden
Wed, 16 Jan 2013We've spotted the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLA testing a couple times in recent months in getting closer to production form and shedding camouflage, but now it looks like we're see our first look at the AMG version of this compact crossover. The low ride height might trick some into thinking that we're just seeing the already-confirmed A45 AMG out testing, but the unique beltline, rear doors and side windows confirm this is some version of the GLA-Class.
What makes us so confident that this is the AMG model? Well, for starters, this prototype has beefier brakes with cross-drilled front and rear rotors and bigger front calipers, but it also sports dual exhaust outlets poking through the rear fascia and a suspension that has been lowered considerably. Our spy shooters said that this car's exhaust note made it almost certainly an AMG model.
Just to be clear, the GLA AMG will not be powered by a 4.5-liter engine. The closely related A45 AMG will carry the "45" in its name to celebrate the first 45 years of AMG, and our sources seem to indicate the AMG version of the GLA will do the same. We're expecting this sporty crossover to produce as much as 350 horsepower from its AMG-tuned four-cylinder engine, and like the all-new E63 AMG, it could very well come standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive.
