HI, SELLING A 1966 MERCEDES BENZ 230 SL HARDTOP-CONVERTIBLE FOR MY NEIGHBOR. REAR DECKLID EMBLEM SAYS 250, BUT IT'S A 230. PREVIOUS OWNER WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE CORRECT EMBLEM, SO A SUBSTITUTION WAS MADE. HE'S HAD IT FOR 10 PLUS YEARS, AND IT'S BEEN A GREAT CAR FOR HIM. PLEASE CHECK OUT PICS AND ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY, AND I'LL DO MY BEST TO GET ANSWERS. IT'S BEST DESCRIBED AS ABOVE AVERAGE DAILY DRIVER CONDITION. USED AS SOLE MEANS OF TRANSPORT BY METICULOUS ELDERLY GENTLEMAN, WHO REFRESHED THE CAR WITH A REPAINT FROM WHITE TO GREY/BEIGE IN 2003, AND KEPT UP ON ITS MECHANICAL AND PHYSICAL SYSTEMS. THIS IS HIS PRIDE AND JOY. HAS GREAT SOUNDING PIONEER SUPERTUNER CASSETTE STEREO WITH 4 SPEAKERS. I'M SURE NEW OWNER WILL WANT TO REPLACE WITH A BECKER, BUT THE CURRENT OWNER IS PROUD OF HIS STEREO. CAR IS SELDOM DRIVEN , BUT AS OFTEN AS OWNER NEEDS IT, AND THEN IS COVERED. THE CAR HAS NEVER LET MY NEIGHBOR DOWN AS FAR AS DEPENDABILITY. HE TRULY CAN SAY THIS IS A FLY-IN , DRIVE HOME CAR MECHANICALLY, BUT WILL NEED TIRES FOR SAFETY, AS THEY HAVE SUFFERED DRY ROT FROM SITTING. CAR HAS HAD 5,000 MILES PUT ON IT IN TEN YEARS, ACCORDING TO THE ODOMETER, AND THE OWNER. THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN REDONE IN BLUE. THE CAR IS A MANUAL, AND RUNS GREAT. THE MOTOR WAS REBUILT ACCORDING TO WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD MY NEIGHBOR, BUT THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION FOR THAT. I HAVE GATHERED ABOUT THIS MUCH INFORMATION FROM MY NEIGHBOR, WHO IS 90 YEARS OLD, AND I DON'T WANT TO INTERROGATE HIM TOO MUCH, ONLY WANT TO HELP HIM SELL HIS CAR. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM, AND BE 100% CERTAIN AND CONFIDENT & COMMITTED IN EVERY WAY, AS I'M SELLING IT FOR HIM AS-IS, AS A CLASSIC CAR IN DRIVER CONDITION. EVERY NUT AND BOLT IS NOT NEW. IT'S NOT A FRAME-OFF ROTISSIERRIE RESTORATION, SO PLEASE DON'T ASSUME IT WILL BE IMMACULATE. IT'S "NICE", THAT'S HOW I'D PUT IT.THERE ARE IMPERFECTIONS IN THE PAINT, BUMPER, AND TRIM, AS WOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A DRIVEN CAR THATS 47 YEARS OLD. PLEASE SEE ABOVE FOR A DESCRIPTION OF OBVIOUS NOTED IMPERFECTIONS SEEN ON MY QUICK WALK-AROUND. I DO NOT KNOW THIS CAR PERSONALLY, AND HAVE NEVER DRIVEN IT. THIS IS THE KIND OF CAR THAT IS "REALLY NICE", BUT NEEDS SOME ATTENTION IN CERTAIN AREAS TO BE TAKEN TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF EXHIBITION QUALITY. IN MY OPINION AND THE OWNERS ACCOUNTS, ITS TRULY A NICE CAR THAT GETS MANY COMPLIMENTS, MEANT TO BE DRIVEN AND ENJOYED TO ITS FULLEST POTENTIAL BY A MORE YOUTHFUL DRIVER. I WOULD BUY IT, BUT I'M A VETTE GUY. NOTE: WE REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW ANY TYPE OF TAXES WORK ON THIS, BUT BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SALES TAXES. THIS IS A PERSONAL CAR FROM A PRIVATE OWNER. FURTHERMORE, ALL LEGAL & FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITES FOR ALL ASPECTS OF THIS AUCTION AND SUBSEQUENT SALE / TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP ARE ASSUMED BY THE CURRENT OWNER OF THE CAR. THANKS.

Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class
Mon, 18 Mar 2013
The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Fri, 15 Nov 2013The biggest misconception about the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series is that it's simply a higher-performing version of the SLS GT - a closer look, or better yet, a few hot laps on a high-speed racing circuit, reveals that is anything but the case.
Launched in the States in mid-2011, the standard SLS GT is a 583-horsepower, all-aluminum, gull-wing coupe with performance that positions it near the top of the exotic segment. While the AMG team at Mercedes-Benz could have left it alone, their experience with the SLS AMG GT3 race car said there was room for improvement, so they devised the SLS Black Series. The transformation from SLS GT to SLS Black Series is extensive, with no fewer than 17 different significant enhancements.
The engine mapping, crankshaft, connecting rods, valve-train, intake, exhaust and cooling are all modified and the engine's redline bumps up from 7,200 to 8,000 rpm, which pushes output of the hand-built 6.3-liter V8 to 622 horsepower. The power steering receives a new ratio, a coil-over AMG Adaptive Performance suspension is installed along with underbody braces, the track is widened, two-piece carbon-ceramic brakes replace iron rotors at each corner and a lightweight titanium exhaust is fitted beneath. The AMG Speedshift seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is modified and an electronically controlled AMG rear differential lock ensures the power goes to the pavement. Last on the mechanical upgrades are new lightweight forged wheels (10x19 inches front and 12x20 inches rear) wrapped in special R-compound Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.
Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome
Tue, 24 Sep 2013This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
