Hello, I am selling a 1973 Mercedes Benz 280 c 2 door coupe with 26,084 miles on it. This car has recently been restored to its original charm. Luckily, we had a good base to work with. This car has a 114 body style that is considered to be one of Mercedes’ finest and most desirable. It is no wonder that the car is a stand out that will make your neighbors heads turn. The color adds to the car’s character and appeal as well. The baby blue color is a color that just isn’t made anymore but one that was originally typical to this car. The car was recently received a $4,000 paint job so while it looks fresh, new and clean, we were able to maintain the character by keeping the traditional coloring. The seats have also been recovered,the brake system has been redone, the ignition system was upgraded to make it an electronic ignition, and much more has been done. The objective in restoring the car was to put it in good working condition while maintaining the style and character.The 280c is a joy to drive. It runs great with a sports car feel and it shifts with ease. We have all the originals manuals and all documentation of the restoration from our ownership will be given with the sale. $16,000 dollars were spent on the restoration alone so this is a steal. The only minor issues that we have come across are tiny crack. in the windshield that has been drilled and filled to prevent the crack from increasing and a minor problem with the carburetor. The carburetor was rebuilt in 2007 and with a little TLC it can be easily addressed. On that note, I have a spare solex 4A1 4 barrel carburetor that will be included in the sale to make sure that there are absolutely no issues. With all of that being said the car still runs great as is but these small repairs would enhance this prized possession. The vin number is available upon request. We would be happy to answer any questions you have and wish to hope you a happy bidding.

Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]
Sat, 23 Feb 2013Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.
Mercedes-Petronas AMG W04 launched to little fanfare, lots of pressure [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013No indoor cocktail hour for the launch of the W04, the newest chassis built by the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team. Instead, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton spent a morning in photo and video sessions at the track in Jerez, Spain then paused a moment to introduce the car. The team will want the W04 to demonstrate the World Championship credentials of the team personnel and one of the team drivers, instead of the mostly humble performances we've seen over the past three years.
The W04 has been fitted with a new five-element front wing, pushrod front and pull-rod rear suspension, a second-generation Coanda exhaust and an "aggressively packaged" rear end. A small vanity panel, à la Infiniti Red Bull's RB9, covers the stepped nose.
Team principal Ross Brawn has called it "a clear step forward in design and detail sophistication," but as much as we truly respect Brawn's abilities and achievements, we heard him say similar things about the updated W03 last year before almost every race weekend from about mid-season. We really hope he's right this time, and so does the team's newest driver, Lewis Hamilton. We'll do our best to ignore the parallels of the Mercedes F1 team having signed a sponsorship deal with Blackberry, another company trying to find its way back to the top and still struggling, and just point you to the video below of the W04 in action.
Autoblog drives to the Arctic Circle
Fri, 22 Mar 2013In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
