1973 Mercedes-benz 350SE
Here is a nice example of a classic W116 bodied Benz. This lovely 350SE has been in my possesion since 2009 and before that it was in the possesion of the same family who brought it over from Germany some 20 years ago where they also owned it! The car comes with a clean carproof report, is lien free, with Ontario registration, the original books and brochure. If you are looking for a 100-point collector car or trailer queen then this is not for you. This is a good, solid driver with approx. 202,000 well loved KM. The car has some minor surface spots but the body is very, very solid. This is NOT a rust bucket by any means. The windows, molding and trim is all there and complete. The interior is also very nice and clean with no major rips or cracks. The previous owner wanted a spolier on the back which was very unappealing and so I took it off. This spoiler left 4 holes in the trunk lid unfortunatly. Other than that, the car runs and drive very good with no major smoke or leaks. I have had it around our dealership as a centerpiece for years and have enjoy a couple great drives in it. But it is time for it to go. Will not need much for a safety as per my techs, who also gave this SE two thumbs up on the undercarage and overall condition. I will gladly do the Ontario safety certifcation on this old classic at the right offer. As for the etest there are no worries as it's a 73. The car is in storage at my residence over the winter months. If you are serious and want to view it please call or email.
This auction is set up too receive offers only. reasonable offers only please. Have all funds, questions asked, inspections done PRIOR to making an offer. I watch all offers carefully so please only bid if you are serious are are taking this car 100%. In the meantime if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to message me or call.

I also can arrange shipping anywhere with very good rates. I am a registered Ontario and therefore applicable taxes do apply.

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.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer
Mon, 28 Jan 2013Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.
