Greetings to All!! imotors is quite pleased to offer this Barn Fresh, Original,
and Unrestored 1973 Mercedes Benz W114 280 Sedan. We were Lucky
enough to acquire this Low Mileage Survivor from the long term owner along with a few other choice Beauties. Looking
at the back of the Pa. inspection sticker, they had it serviced after the 2001 driving
season, put it in the barn(actually it was a pole building that stored
tractors and lawn equipment, along with three other cars), and covered
it up like usual. Well, they must have gotten busy, and time just flew
by!! Fast forward to a few months ago, and we purchased the cars because
they "needed the room".
This Gorgeous "Reed Green" 280 is totally original, and an unrestored survivor. As you will notice in the many photos below, there has been some paintwork done at sometime way in the past, probably to repair some minor rust that accumulated over the first 30 years of daily usage. There is some color variation present, and some minor bubbling on the lower edges. The floors and rockers seem to be very solid, and should be fine as is for an occassional driver. Remember, It's been this way since 2001!!! The chrome trim, and bumpers are all very very nice, with no damage or pitting anywhere, and I don't see any signs of accident damage. The manual sliding sunroof is a wonderful feature and opens with ease!
The Parchment MB Tex interior is also totally original. We did a quick wipedown to remove the last 12 years of dust, and It now looks fantastic!!! No rips or tears, and the carpets are also in great shape! All accessories
are functioning normally including the original Becker AM FM sound system, and the 4 manual
windows. Climate control is working, but A/C is not
ice cold. The compressor engages, and could probably use a shot of freon. We will leave this to the new owner, as to choose between original R12, or conversion to R134a. Both plastic door pockets have broken screw mounting holes, and are presently in the trunk, along with the drivers headrest that just fell off in my hands. Both items should be an easy repair. I think there is a piece or 2 missing for re-assembly.
This
was an easy one to "Wake Up" after it's 12 year slumber. We checked the
fluid levels, installed a fresh Interstate battery, poured a bit of gas
in the carb, and it fired right up. We did need to clean and lubricate the throttle linkage. We also dropped the fuel tank, and cleaned/flushed it. The fuel hoses have been replaced, along with the mechanical fuel pump. The engine now purrs like a kitten. There is a slight stumble on take off, but is getting better every time we drive it. We also replaced all of the hydraulic brake hoses, and flushed the braking system. It now stops the way that it should, with no pulling or vibrations. Last but not least, we had 4 brand new radial whitewall tires installed.....This car now runs and drives fantastic.....nice and smooth. I have driven it personally about 50 miles or so, with no
noted issues. The more that I drive it, the better it runs!! We did a fresh oil change, just
because it had been several years standing, and a VERY time consuming
detail on the exterior to bring the Reed Green paint back to it's former
Glory.
Unrestored
examples like this one are unheard of! Most have over 200 Thousand
miles by now, and are either worn out, and extremely ratty, or are made
over rust buckets!! Values are Rapidly rising, and this is sure to be a
sound investment with a LOT of fun attached!! Remember....they are
Original ONLY ONCE!!!!
Please
keep in mind that this is a FORTY year old unrestored, original
car. It is not perfect, or a restored trailer queen. There are a few
blemishes, nicks etc. here and there. Nothing major, but it is NOT
perfect!!! We have a clean Pennsylvania title in the dealership's name.
Take a look at the 40 photographs below and see the actual condition of this One of A Kind Mercedes Benz 280 Sedan.
This 1973 Mercedes Benz will be SOLD at NO RESERVE.....Last bid Wins. What a great
Christmas present for you or that special loved one.
By bidding you agree to all terms set forth below.
Many Thanks for Your Interest!
Good Luck with Your Bidding!! |

The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.

Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.

The Mercedes-Benz CLA earned itself a spot on our list of the top five unveils of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and for good reason. The German luxury compact is the first small car from the Silver Arrow that looks suitably premium inside and out. Nowness.com has turned out a new video of the CLA featuring super model Karlie Koss in the lead role. We aren't entirely sure what the premise is, but from what we can tell, it looks as if the CLA comes to life and proceeds to be a giant jerk.
After Koss stops to take a closer look at a white horse, the CLA gives the supermodel the old stop-and-go treatment before leaving her on the side of the road. Eventually, the sedan makes nice, but Koss has to ride shotgun instead of taking the controls herself. You can check out the video below to see for yourself.
