***  No Reserve  ***

For sale is a blue 1979 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Estate wagon with no accidents and all original expect stereo.  

This year was the first to be imported into the United States and was met with widespread acclaim. The 300TD Estate model has been hailed for its timeless design and meticulous attention to detail.  The bulletproof 3.0-liter diesel engine is widely believed to be one of the most reliable engines ever built and it purrs with an intoxicating tone.  This particular Benz is in perfect working order and is a prime testament to the legendary build quality attributed to this model.  The blue paint is original and has developed a beautiful patina over the years.  This vehicle has spent most of its life in San Antonio, Texas, a climate that has been very forgiving on the exterior, which has no obvious rust.  The interior is upholstered with Mercedes’ proprietary MB-Tex material in a cream color and has no tears or any apparent discoloration.  I, along with the previous owners, have meticulously maintained a complete list of all maintenance-related receipts.

I recently had a diehard Benz mechanic thoroughly inspect and fine-tune the car.  The motor mounts and rear exhaust hangers were both replaced.  Additionally, the steering box and engine speed idle were both adjusted.  Its grace and performance belie its age and it feels equipped to achieve the million-mile mark.  It tackles open freeways and sleepy suburbs with equal ease.  Ignition is immediate and healthy -- even in the frigid winters of Utah -- thanks to the block heater.  The 3-speed automatic transmission shifts between gears effortlessly.  All gauges are fully functional with the exception of the clock (which works periodically).  Additionally, all electrical functions (headlights, brights, fog lights, park lights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, and windshield wipers) are in perfect working order.  The disk brakes appear to be recently replaced. The suspension feels nice and tight.

Recent Work:  New Yokohama Avid Touring tires, Fresh oil change, New air filter, New fuel filters, Runs and drives excellent, Updated glow plugs, New motor mounts, New rear exhaust hangers and new battery.

Please be aware of the following:  Not a turbo, does not have a 3rd row seat and only diesel fuel has been used.  There is no visible rust under the vehicle.

If you’d like to see any additional photos that are not shown here (or if you have any additional questions), don’t hesitate to send me a message and I’ll be happy to accommodate.

Happy bidding!

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale

Fri, 10 May 2013

There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.

Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
"We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche

The Mansory Speranza proves that money can buy taste and good sense...

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

...Just kidding.
No one in their right mind has ever accused German tuners Mansory of being subtle. So, when our Geneva team wandered across the Mansory Speranza - A Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen that has been denuded of its roof and spackled inside with quilted leather and red carbon fiber ­- they didn't ask a lot of existential questions. Why does the Speranza exist? Because Germans are weird sometimes, that's why.
Forget for a moment that you'll have to pay Mansory hundreds of thousands of euros (we're guessing, no pricing information has been revealed) for the privilege of converting your G-Class into something that looks like a Suzuki Samurai, and prepare to be impressed by the details. The tuning house has increased the output of the Mercedes V8 to a healthy 700 horsepower and 668 pound-feet of torque. The wheels are 24-inches, and wear almost unbelievable 305-section ultra-high performance Vresdestein tires. Carbon fiber can be found nearly everywhere one looks, including making up the housing for the spare tire. Oh, and there are leather pillows for the backseats... no word on whether they're standard or optional, but we're looking in to it.
