1979 Mercedes Benz 300TD wagon 5 cylinder diesel, 4 speed manual (as originally equipped), euro trim with extensive work already done, but still needing more time than I, a new father, have. Mileage unknown Car is all manual, including windows, sunroof, locks. Sale of car includes as much of a half a garage full of parts as you want, including a second sunroof, a passenger fender, a new exhaust system, another set of almost perfect bundt pans. Parts accrued from various 123 cars over a few years, so there is alot of stuff, but also alot of redundant stuff, e.g., 3 instrument clusters. Car has original fabric interior although front seats are replacements out of a low mile 300SD. Fabric seats in garage and in poor shape. Rear tex seats also available, but rear seats are currently original fabric in good shape. Car drives fine, stable at highway speeds, starts every time, and runs quietly and smoothly. The car spent much of its life in CA, and has rust in places that reflect dried gaskets and rain rather than snow. The floors are absolutely perfect. There is rust in the front rockers, bases of doors but not door sills, rear rockers, and misc spots around. Nothing is that bad, but needs to be dealt with sooner. The paint on the car is poor and cheap, and the car should be stripped. I am pretty sure there is bondo in the right rear quarter as there is paint cracking there. All glass is fine, headliner is poor, carpets ok, interior trim generally ok. I have much of what could be replaced in the pile of parts I have. In short, this is a great, reliable car, which is an honest and worthy candidate for a high quality restoration but could also be driven until it drops decades from now. Part of the package, if wanted could also be a biodiesel setup with hand pump, 55 gallon drum, as well as large container with about 300 gallons of B20.

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership
Thu, 19 Dec 2013The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.
Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.
