We are selling a 1973 Mercedes 450SL Roadster with 102,500 original miles. It has a 5.4 L double overhead cam aluminum motor which runs strong. I have been in the process od trying to restore this hard to find "classic" Mercedes which has the European bumpers and no smog control system. I have had new floor pans and firewalls welded in to eleminate some rust. On top of this we added the :hush" mat which is insulation topped with aluminum for quiteness and heat control. The car was gone over by certified mercedes mechanic's and the following was installed: Complete new exaust system, fule pump and hoses, two drive differentials, rear brake calipers and break lines, all fluids changed, tune up and fule injecters inspected, new carpet thruout as well as trunk carpet kit. New seat form, cobers, backs, door panels and dash. The car does smoke a little on startup and probably needs a valve job. Air condition needs one hose replaced for good a/c. I have also put on four brand new tires as well as new headrests. Windshield has no chips or cracks and left mirrow glass needs replacing. Not the mirrow total just the reflectice mirrow glass piece. I am now retired and donot have the money to finish the restoration. The car also comes with a car cover and a new hoist kit for the hard top. It has a few rust spots on the body which can be restored at the body shop before painting.
I paid $5k for the car and I have put another $10k into this car. It is a great deal for someone wanting to take advantage of having most of the restoration done at no cost to them. I will have to sell the car with a very low reserve as I can't keep the car. Car is not perfect as to be expected with an original 35 year old vehicle and is being sold as is with a $1000 deposit paid within 24 hours of sale and the buyer will be responsible for shipping arrangements.
It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle and to have satisfied themselves as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely.

Mercedes to roll out S65 AMG Coupe in July
Mon, 07 Apr 2014We're still a couple of weeks away from the public debut of the new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe at the fast-approaching New York Auto Show, but already we're receiving word of an even more powerful version in the works. That, of course, would be the S65 AMG Coupe - the twelve-cylinder version of the latest S-Class Coupe, two-door counterpart to the S65 AMG sedan and replacement for the outgoing CL65 AMG.
Like the four-door version rolled out back in November, the S65 AMG Coupe would be distinguished from less powerful vehicles (which, lets face it, is just about everything) principally by its engine: a massive, 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 that produces 621 horsepower, 738 pound-feet of torque and cares as much about global warming as an oil-shipping mega-tanker.
Because Merc's 4Matic all-wheel drive system can't handle that much torque, the ne plus ultra coupe would (like the S65 sedan but unlike the S63 coupe) be offered only in rear-drive form. That means it will have that much more trouble getting the power down to the road, but since the Magic Body Control suspension is similarly incompatible with 4Matic, the flagship coupe will get that trick suspension.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale
Fri, 10 May 2013There 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-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.
