1975 Mercedes-benz 280 Base Sedan 4-door 2.8l on 2040-cars
Woodland Hills, California, United States
I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNERS A FEW YEARS AGO. IT WAS IN THEIR GARAGE FROM THE DAY IT CAME HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I LOOKED AT MANY CARS BEFORE I BOUGHT THIS ONE. THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL 1975 MERCEDES 280 WITH JUST OVER 74,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON HER. THE ORIGINAL PAINT IS IN SPECTACULAR CONDITION AS IS THE INTERIOR. FULL POWER WINDOWS AND CRUISE CONTROL. ALSO HAS A POWER SUN ROOF. ALL OWNERS MANUALS AND TOND OF DOCUMENTATION RECEIPTS. THE TOOL KIT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL MERCEDES PLASTIC WRAPPER AROUND THEM. THE ORIGINAL FIRST AID KIT IS UNTOUCHED. IT CAME WITH THE ORIGINAL TOUCH UP PAINT BUT THAT WAS DRIED UP FROM AGE. IT HAS ORIGINAL STICKERS ON THE WINDOWS,GAS CAP WITH MERCEDES LOGO, EVEN THE UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY STICKER IS STILL THERE. THERE IS SOME SURFACE RUST ON THE INSIDE TRUNK LIP, YOU CAN NOT SEE IT AT ALL WHEN THE TRUNK IS CLOSED. AS SEEN IN THE PICS IT WOULD BE A EASY COSMETIC FIX. THIS CAR DRIVES LIKE A DREAM. SO CLEAN PEOPLE OFTEN ASK ME WHO RESTORED IT. COME LOOK FOR YOURSELF OR CALL WITH QUESTIONS. THANKS ROBERT 310 612 7585

Mercedes-Benz GLK coupe to get 2016 intro
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Radio chatter around the emerging small, premium crossover coupe genre has thus far been dominated by the Land Rover Evoque and the Mini Paceman. According to a report in Car, the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class (shown above) has received its invitation to the party and will spend the next three years getting ready: it's said that two-door variant of the crisply-angled CUV is coming in 2016, along with a redesign befitting its sleeker intentions.
To be based on the MRA platform - the rear-drive version of the company's three new modular platforms, it will also support the coming 2013 S-Class and could eventually get an AMG version to help it compete with segment offerings like the forthcoming Porsche Macan. Not much else is known about it beyond its name: Car says it will be called the GLC, a friendly nomenclature we remember best as a Mazda hatchback (allegedly for "Good Little Car"). Internet oldtimers may remember the Mazda GLC as the predecessor to the 323 (which in turn came before today's Mazda3). Either way, the GLC is not to be confused with the larger upcoming BMW X6 rival based on the ML-Class (reportedly called GLS) which is also said to still be in the works, or the front-drive based GLA, a model also edging toward production.
Brabus 800 Roadster is a power-mad aristocrat
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If we're being completely honest, we haven't exactly been in love with the aesthetics of the sixth-generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. It's mostly a front-end issue, with its glowering eagle-eye headlamps and upright, dinner-plate-sized Three-Pointed Star coming across to us as overwrought. That's particularly troublesome for a roadster whose history has of the most elegant designs of all time in its back catalog. Somehow, the new R231 generation's brash visuals seem more at home on this Brabus 800 Roadster to us.
That's probably because the high-dollar German tuner has turned up the wick on the SL's visuals even further, with carbon fiber bodywork, a more aggressive aero kit, matte hood scoop and complex two-finish wheels. It's all-the-way committed to its brashness, in other words - and justifiably so. Anything with 800 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque has earned the right to look however it wants, right?
Brabus started with the SL65 and its not-exactly-underpowered 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, and went to town, fitting their own turbocharger and intercooler system, along with a less-restrictive exhaust system with driver-selectable sound levels and new engine electronics. The result is a 3.7-second 0-62 mph time, an electronically limited top whack of 217 mph... and one seriously compromised toupée.
Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.
