1972 Mercedes 250c Coupe Project Non Running Rare Small Bumper on 2040-cars
Madrid, Iowa, United States

This is a re-list due to a buyer that never followed through, never contacted me, and never responded to the non paying bidder notification. Please, listing fees are $50 plus final value fees means this "ad" will cost me $75 just to get this cool car out to a wider audience. I have done an extensive search of Craigs List for 250C or 280C cars and found that prices are from $2500 and up. Some run, some don't but this car is an excellent restoration project. I have over $1500 in this car. It has floor pan rust, but floor pans are shared with the thousands of 200 series four door sedans, so cutting out pans and installing them is not easy, but part of almost any restoration process. The best part is this is a true small bumper pillarless hardtop gem that is very well equipped. REAL leather seats, not MB-TEX vinyl, leather wrapped wheel, rear defrost, Becker radio, power steering, complete motor which had $3000 worth of work prior to previous owner storing car. Straight. Rust in pans, rust in very lower rear quarters which may have had plastic filler repair. This is a car for parts or for a full-on restorations. Front clips are shared with those same four door sedans. Paint it a better color-please! A dark turquise, green, deep blue. Bumpers are good, grille is good, lights OK, dash decent but has some cracking. Interior is all original and complete, so you have something to work with. Door panels complete. A nice start at a cheap price. I picked this Mercedes small bumper 250C coupe project up off Craigs List 3 months ago and now we are moving so it needs sold or crushed. It is a Fred Flintstone car, needing floor pans for sure. Trunk seems OK. It is straight with no dents. This car is special for it's loaded nature. It has power windows, Becker AM/FM. rear window defrost, leather wrapped steering wheel, leather seats and so on. Nicely equipped. I bought it off craigs list in Minnesota and transported sight unseen. It has a flawed Minnesota title. The buyer last, never transferred into his name and once it was on the way to me, and he had his money, he couldn't care less so it's a flawed title needing bonding, but I have the last known title to the car. I have not been able to raise the hood because the latch cable is no good. But I have looked underneath and it is complete. This is a rare and desirable small bumper 250C, and as a 1972, low emissions impact car. True hardtop. For the Mercedes collector. I can be reached at 515-520-2611 (Bryan) if questions. Car is getting dumped guys, honestly. It will be crushed if no one wants it. ebay charges $55 for an auction now, I am starting at $100 so market will decide but I have well over $1000 in this cool Mercedes project car. Becker radio, and condition and usage of parts are well worth $1000, BUT would prefer a restoration buyer. Thanks |

2014 Mercedes S-Class priced lower from $92,900*
Mon, 09 Sep 2013The massively overhauled 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will start at $92,900, not including a $925 destination fee, when it arrives at US dealers in October. That's a 2.8-percent drop over the 2013 S-Class, although Mercedes is fast to point out that a drop in price doesn't equate with a drop in equipment for the executive sedan.
Besides an extra 20 horsepower from the 4.6-liter, biturbocharged V8, the S550 sports a standard panoramic sunroof, keyless start, a rear-view camera and LED headlights, taillights and interior lights. Adding the German manufacturer's 4Matic all-wheel-drive system bumps the S550's price up to $95,900.
If the S550 doesn't quite cut the mustard, you can wait until November, at which point Mercedes will quite happily sell you the new S63 AMG 4Matic for $139,500. Power is also up on the S63, from a max of 563 ponies with an AMG Performance Package to 577 horsepower as standard on the 2014 model.
Firing of M-B boss upheld
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]
Fri, 31 Jan 2014If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
