1970 Mercedes Benz 300sel 3.5 Rare Sunroof Excellent, Well Sorted Survivor 3.5! on 2040-cars
Daytona Beach, Florida, United States

1970 Mercedes Benz 300SEL 3.5 This 3.5 is a great survivor car that has not been restored but rather has been lovingly maintained and serviced over the years. It was originally sold, on June 15, 1970, in Salem, Oregon to LM Hill, Inc. I purchased the 3.5 last year from a gentlemen in Oregon who regularly drove the car and performed extensive service on the car, see pics of invoices. The most important aspect of any w109 Mercedes is the air suspension. This 3.5 has sat for over a month without any leak down of the suspension. This is virtually unheard of; I have no concerns about the air suspension. The 3.5 engine starts right up and runs well. It has been extensively serviced, see pics of invoices. Transmission Shifts Smoothly. The 3.5 Brakes Properly and Straight. The Rare and Desirable Sunroof works great, See Video! The A/C has been converted to R134, see invoice, and blows cold! The Original Becker Radio works! Original Books and Warranty Plate! Excellent 3 Point Retractable Seat Belts Up Front and Kangols in the Rear! New Alternator and Battery! All lights, interior and exterior, work properly. Heater levers were replaced and work properly. Windows go up and down and vacuum door lock system works. Glass is all in great condition and the chrome and stainless trim present well! Original, Solid and Dry Undercarriage and Jack Points! Lovely 2 Tone Color Code 717G Papyrus White Body and 124G Arabian Grey Roof over Red Interior. Obviously, the car has the occasional nick or scratch on what appears to be the first respray. It is not a restored 3.5, but a nice well-maintained turn key 3.5. There is very little work-wise I suggest if one only wants a driver. However, I would suggest budgeting for certain repairs that you may deem necessary, for example replacement of the steering coupling (~$200) and any other items that are not necessary to drive the car as-is but would increase your enjoyment of this lovely 3.5. WE HAVE OTHER CLASSIC MERCEDES AVAILABLE! I can assist with shipping worldwide (major European Ports $1,250-$1,500) . I will deliver to Jacksonville, FL Port for $200 or Miami Port for $325.

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The 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.
European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
