I am in love with these cars. This is one of the cars you say to yourself I never should have sold. To me the W108 cars are some of the best cars Mercedes ever made and our substantially undervalued. They have recently had some attention and prices are rising. This car is a one owner that had not been driven much in the last twenty years. It it complete with manuals, data cards, owner cars and is complete. This is a great restoration candidate, rust is minimal. Please see photos and inspect for yourself, body is solid as is rockers and body panels. I do see some rust underneath doors near drainage holes and some in trunk area which looks minimal.
Body Overall very solid, undercoating still present underneath. A very average quality repaint at some time ago. Hood has some damage due to elderly owner misjudging space, I have a used hood if the buyer wants it. A new paint job will make this one a superstar. Interior Has the rare options floor shifter, sunroof, armrests with front seat pad. Great all original black leather just the right patina. Front seats have some areas that would need to be repaired, back seats are excellent. I would drive as is, its up to you. Wood on dash and doors excellent condition, wood near windshield good shape but more aging. Heat levers broken, AC comes on but not cold, Sunroof works but is slow, drivers rear window not working. Mechanically Car runs and starts with no problem. A mechanic needs to go over it as it has not been driven regularly for a while. On a 60 mile drive I noticed brakes losing pressure at times and a little wandering over 60mph. I am not a mechanic and would not drive the car before a full inspection. This car is sold as is, please come and inspect it. I want you to know exactly what you are buying. |

Dartz promises own 6x6 G-Class with golden shishas and a dining room
Mon, 25 Mar 2013So you didn't really think Dartz Motorz was going to let the limited-production, 544-horsepower Mercedes 6x6 G63 AMG go without a challenge, did you? Picking up the gauntlet as only Dartz can, the Russian dream-makers have come up with the Sahara G-eopard, supposedly a special request from a buyer to make one of the 'standard' six-wheelers "more opulent and insane."
That means the vehicle from the factory gets extended by about a foot (30 centimeters), coach doors in the rear, a "yacht floor" and air conditioning that runs on its own power source, Asanti 24-inch Gold Bullion wheels and a water dispenser with Russian diamonds, which the owner will need to fill the golden shishas (hookahs) in the portable smoking room. That's right, you heard the man: a portable smoking room. Where the occupants will retire when they're finished in the portable dining room. Of course.
Yes, it will even have leopard spotting painted onto its nano-coating, and so much more. You can check out the press release below from the source. Try not to be jealous.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid for fat cats frugal with fuel
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Judging by how long we waited to get a clear shot of the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid, you'd have thought hybrid cars were only driven by Terminators and that the technology arrived only 48 hours ago through a wormhole in the Mercedes stand. The newest member of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class hybrid band - joining the S400 Hybrid and S350 BlueTEC Hybrid, it hits notes like a 5.5-second sprint from standstill to 62 miles per hour, up to 19 miles of ion-powered running and uses three liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in Europe (78.41 mpg US, but our mpg test cycle is different than their mpg test cycle).
The lump up front is a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6, the lump in back - note the reduction in trunk space - is a pack of lithium-ion batteries that juice an 80-kilowatt electric motor. Other than having four drive options for controlling electric drive and battery usage, it's all S-Class all the time, with leather-covered everything and those mountainous thrones that bring to mind words like "Archduke" and "Papal."
You'll find our hard-earned gallery from the Frankfurt Motor Show floor above, and more words of information in the press release below.
Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo
Fri, 15 Mar 2013To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.
