All original except radio. 48,000 miles. I'm the second owner for a few years now. I got the car from the wife of an older gentleman that had passed away. So as for history on the car and a better description its hard to say because she didn't tell me very much information. I don't think she knew much about cars. Car has been sitting most of the time in my warehouse and don't see much use for it anymore other than collect dust. Only put a few hundred miles on it.

Will probably need a basic tune up. It seems like the carbs are a little gummed up. Slight hesitation every so often. I never had any problems with the car since I've owned it otherwise. The battery still holds a charge and tires are still in great shape. I have sanded and repainted the intake, so it is not rusted at all anymore.

It's originally from Saint Louis, Missouri. I drove it back to Chicago which was about a 6 hour drive. Theres paperwork showing the maintenance that has been done from the original owner. Looks like the basic scheduled maintenance that Mercedes suggests.

There's next to no rust on the car. Some surface rust here and there underneath but nothing major. Theres some paint chips on the truck and a fade spot on the hood. Runs and drives great straight down the road no shaking or pulling. Has a lot of power for such a heavy car. Interior has no cracks or tears except for a crack on the dash. Just replaced hood emblem(not shown in pics).

The only things that are wrong with the car mechanically wise, are the levers for the heater controls are broken and radio wasn't turning on. The radio could just be a fuse I'm not sure.

I made several videos of a walk around the car and showing all the electrical works fine. Also one driving down the street. If your a serious buyer I would gladly email them to you.

Get back to me via email or call/text with questions. Thanks for looking.

Have many more pictures but can't update on my phone. Email me for more and I would be glad to send them. Especially the interior. It's in great shape but I didn't post much. Didn't realize you can't edit with the eBay mobile app. 


I've been asked a few times what's wrong with the car. The car runs and drives great! If you would like a video I would be glad to make one. 

Also been asked what the reserve is. It's set at $6,500.

Mercedes fits new C-Class with AMG kit

Sat, 28 Dec 2013

It's only been a week and a half since Mercedes-Benz revealed the new C-Class, and it'll likely be a while yet before the replacement for the C63 AMG comes along. But if you want to see a preview of what it'll look like, look no further than the AMG aero kit that has just surfaced.
Expected to debut on the new C-Class at the fast-approaching Detroit Auto Show, the AMG Line Exterior Pack adds a new bumpers front and rear, side skirts, dual exhaust tips, mesh grille, aluminum window frames and - most importantly - 18-inch alloys packing upgraded brakes and fitted to a lowered sport suspension. All of which will help any C-Class look the part, even if the engine remains stock.

2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.

Dartz promises own 6x6 G-Class with golden shishas and a dining room

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

So 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.
