Selling one of the best original condition cars I have ever owned. This is a 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SE sedan.(Chassis Code W116.032) This is the last year of the desireable chrome bumpers (which are perfect). It is a 3 owner car, originally from Nevada. The last two owners were father / son and had the car for 35 years (always garaged) and you will be able to tell when you see it. The orginal owner was their friend, who was a physician and owned the car for only a few years. It has always been serviced per manufacture guidelines. Everything is original on the car, except the updated Blaupunkt stereo system. The car has absolutely no rust on it. The paint is absolutely beautiful, with only a few minor imperfections (a small dime size dent around the rear bumper molding, some tiny bug chips on the front grill area and one thin/light scratch a couple inches long at the bottom of the driver door. The headliner is perfect with no sagging. The seats are MB tex and only a tiny tear on the driver seat. They still have that distinctive German smell, and those that know German cars, know exactly what I mean...love it! We do have a lambskin cover on the driver seat, for comfort. The floor mats are doubled in all areas and the originals are on the bottom and super clean! PLEASE SEE MY PHOTOBUCKET LINK: I have over 70 pictures of the car in here. If you need more, I can upload more.

The engine bay is immaculate (see pictures). Brand new spark plugs & wires. New Battery with warranty. The chrome on this car is PERFECT! The dash has a small / thin crack (about 2 inches) but otherwise is perfect (again...see pix). We do have a new dash cover over it to protect. All the instruments / gauges work, except the clock does not keep accurate time.
Car runs and shifts as it should and cruises very well down the freeway. Does not smoke, does not burn oil. A/C and Heat work well. This is awesome luxury. It will get you wherever you need to go, with confidence. Power windows all work (the front ones are a little slow, compared to the rear). Power antennna works perfectly. Floor pan, trunk pan, undercarriage are all great, with no rust at all. Brakes are strong. Tires are basically brand new with full tread (Pirelli P70's). Also comes with 2 new Michelin snow tires (I know you'll ask why...came from Nebraska & Nevada...I see no evidence of salt corrosion or rust) Even the hub caps are gorgeous!
The sun visors have some sun damage to them but remain tight and it is the side that faces the roof, so not a big deal. All the seals and gaskets are solid. I have not even noticed a drip of oil or fluids on the garage floor. Comes with original tool kit and jack. The gaps are perfect on the car, as they were from the show room floor. The car has never been wrecked and there is no body work done. This thing must have 500 lbs of paint on it...this kind of quality is not seen in today's cars. And the paint is phenomenal on this car. The doors are tight and when you shut them, you know this is a true Merecedes classic. The vacuum locks all work.
It is hard to find much wrong with this car, and I know whoever purchases it will be pleased. Please not that this car does not come with a warranty and is SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS. I will assist with coordinating shippers both domestic and internationally, if needed, but all shipping fees are at the buyer's expense.

Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.
Race Recap: Singapore Grand Prix is about a safety car and submission
Mon, 23 Sep 2013The Singapore Formula One Grand Prix is the Monaco GP of the Orient - a weekend known more for its glamour and time-slot than on-track action, with a temporary circuit that punishes every mistake, usually terminally.
Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas got the best of Free Practice 1, opening the curtain on a possible resurgence of Silver Arrows performance. By the time qualifying was done, though, it was his teammate Nico Rosberg who lined up second on the grid, followed by Romain Grosjean with a beautiful performance in the Lotus, Mark Webber in the Infiniti Red Bull, and Hamilton all the way back in fifth. Behind them were Felipe Massa outqualifying Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button getting the McLaren into eighth, Daniel Ricciardo with another good Q3 effort to get into ninth, and the shocker of Esteban Gutiérrez getting his Sauber into the top ten for the first time this year.
At the front of the pack was Sebastian Vettel. Again. But he was only ahead of Rosberg by a single tenth of a second...
Mercedes CLA45 AMG Racing is ready for a spot on the grid
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz trotted out its CLA45 AMG-based racer at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. We first showed you the sedan in the deluge of news and reveals that precedes most good auto shows, and were blown away by the car, formally known as the CLA45 AMG Racing Series.
We were strolling by the Mercedes stand, and figured we'd pop in and take a look at the new racer and its carbon-fiber body panels, gutted interior, and race-sourced aero parts. It's a looker, both as a road car and a track weapon. It's not clear what series the CLA45 AMG will qualify for, although it does seem like a shoe-in for the World Touring Car Championship. Let us know what you think of the CLA racer down in the comments. In the meantime, we've got a full gallery of live images up top, along with the stock images that were posted last week on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page.
