1964 Mercedes-benz 220 B Sedan W111, W 111, Heckflosse, Fintail on 2040-cars
Arkansas City, Kansas, United States
|
I purchased this 1964 Mercedes-Benz 220 b while in college 10 years ago from a small car dealer in McPherson, Kansas. I did some work to the engine including line boring of the engine, grinding of the crankshaft and replacement of the bearings, decking of the block and head, grinding of the valves and seats, replacement of the valve seals, rebuilding of the carbs, replacement of the starter, rebuilding of the distributor, rebuilding of the steering pump, replacement of the generator with an alternator (from a 230 S), new sub-frame mounts, motor and transmission mounts, new shocks, wheel bearings, brake hoses, brake linings in the front, rebuilt wheel cylinders, drums turned and the exhaust system replaced. I also replaced all five wheels with another set including the tires several years ago and the tires are in pretty good shape but they are at least six or seven years old. The original set of wheels come with the car as well. As you can see from the photos the trunk has all of the extra parts and interior parts that I removed. When I bought the car it came with the original owners manual, service booklet, dealer directory and transmission user guide. From this information I tracked the ownership back to the original owner and dealer. The car was originally sold to a Ms. Wilson at the Studebaker Packard dealer in Oregon City, Oregon. She later moved to Missouri and the car was brought to McPherson, Kansas in 2000 after her death. I have the original build sheet, which I will include in the sale of the car along with a translation of all of the codes. The car was originally delivered and is currently DB 335 Mercedes blue with the grey MB text vinyl. It is completely numbers matching (engine, transmission, rear axle, front axle left and right and steering box). Please keep in mind that the car is not running at this time but could easily be made to run with fresh fuel and a new battery. I turned the engine over today but the battery is weak. If you plan on buying this car please have a truck and trailer available as well as some help to get it loaded. If you are local and would like to inspect the car over the next seven days please contact me. |

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
Mercedes goes boating again with G63 AMG-inspired Cigarette
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Cigarette Racing has another Mercedes-Benz AMG-themed boat headed out to sea. After The SLS AMG-inspired 46-foot Rough Rider in 2010 and the C63 AMG Black Series-inspired 50-foot Marauder in 2012, this year's Miami Boat Show will introduce the 42-foot Huntress, theme provided by the G63 AMG.
The latest Cigarette homage is less overly racy than the ones before, befitting a watercraft modeled off a performance SUV, but don't let the looks fool: there are five Mercury Racing Verado 350SCi outboard engines, each one of them packing a supercharged inline six-cylinder with, natch, 350 horsepower. Those 1,750 horses will be good for 78 miles per hour when you've got some saltwater underneath you.
If you're in South Florida this week, Booth B-23 at the Miami Convention Center could be your best place to see it. Otherwise, like the 536-hp G63 AMG, it could be hard to catch. There's a press release with more information below.
France formally moves to ban Mercedes vehicles using contested refrigerant
Wed, 31 Jul 2013That didn't take long. Shortly after a French administrative court gave the French government a ten-day window to reconsider its ban on registrations of Mercedes-Benz A-, B- and CLA-Class cars using the prohibited R134a refrigerant, the government cited an EU directive to formalize banning the sale of the cars. The country's environmental ministry said that registrations "will remain forbidden in France as long as the company does not to conform to European regulations," meaning so long as they do not use the approved R1234yf refrigerant.
Daimler had won the administrative court decision by challenging France's application of a "safeguard" provision in which the EU allows a country to block sales of cars that would "seriously harm the environment." In spite of Daimler's victory, France has cited that very provision as basis for the continuation of the ban.
Daimler got permission from Germany's KBA federal motor authority to keep selling cars with the coolant banned by EU politicians, and is using that national permission as the right to sell the cars throughout Europe. Meanwhile, above that battle, German politicians are asking the EU to let Mercedes sell the cars in France while the KBA does more testing, at the same time as the EU is threatening Germany with repercussions if it doesn't bring the KBA and Daimler into line.
