This has been my baby since 2001 and has served me well. I bought it with 172,000 miles on it and have replaced many parts since I have had it. I currently have 248,618 on the Odometer. Now for the Bad, car will have to be towed or loaded on to a car carrier, it will run and drive short distances, but there is a large knock in the engine and that will need to be rebuilt. My friend borrowed the car when it was in L.A. and ran the thing with the thermostat stuck shut until the engine overheated. In addition, the exhaust system from the down Y in the middle of the car, although the way back is missing, it fell off on the ride to L.A. in Colorado, although it sounded amazing until the engine overheated a month later. The rear bumper fell off, but I still have it. No radio, but has two Boston speakers in back and two focal tweeters in the front. The vehicle is all pre-wired to handle a new radio install. There is a Wilson CB antenna wired into the vehicle and set for a lip trunk mount. The vehicle has 4 Blizzak Snow Tires on it as well. Everything worked on it prior to the epic trip it had out West. THE GOOD: THIS WAS MY FIRST BABY INTO THE WORLD OF THE W123 CHASSIS MANY NEW PARTS OVER THE LAST 12 YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT A GREAT SOUND SYSTEM THE VIRGIN GUADELOUPE SHIFTER THE BAD: REAR BUMPER IS NOT ON THE CAR, BUT I STILL HAVE IT. IT CAN BE WELDED ON PRETTY EASILY ENGINE HAS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND WILL NEED A REBUILD, BUT IT STILL STARTS SO PROBABLY BAD BEARINGS. BOTH MUFFLERS MISSING IN THE MIDDLE OF COLORADO, BUT MAN DOES IT SOUND NICE, I WOULD HAVE STRAIGHT PIPED IT IF MY FRIEND DIDN’T KILL THE ‘UNBREAKABLE’ ENGINE OF ALL TIME THAT NORMALLY GOES A MILLION MILES. THE UGLY: SOME RUST SPOTS, NOTHING TOO EXTREME YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TOW THIS AWAY, BUT IT CAN DRIVE UP ON A TRANSPORTER SO THAT’S A PLUS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING PAYMENT BY CASH, WIRE, MONEY ORDER, CASHIER'S CHECK ANY QUESTIONS CALL 312-342-5000

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe spied in revealing state of dress
Tue, 19 Feb 2013During a product briefing earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz told us that 2013 would be the "year of the S-Class." Makes sense, too, since the flagship Mercedes is so very close to finally showing its production-ready face. But the high-tech saloon isn't the only S-Class to talk about this year - quite the contrary. Seen here in decidedly revealing camouflage, the new S-Class Coupe will be joining its four-door compadre in the not-too-distant future, as well.
When it launches, the S-Class Coupe will officially do away with the CL-Class nomenclature. This doesn't come as a huge shock. After all, when the new E-Class coupe and convertible were launched, it officially marked the end of the long-running CLK-Class designation.
Thanks to the interesting camouflage seen here, we have a very good glimpse at how the S-Class Coupe will look when all of the molding and swirly paper are peeled off. Rakish body lines pulled from the CLS-Class meet a much more dynamic front fascia. Out back, there are horizontal taillamps rather than the vertical units used on the current car, and the whole package seems very svelte. Our spy photographer even posits that this will be "the best-looking car from Mercedes-Benz in ages."
Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
