This convertible hardtop has been sitting in my garage for 12 years and the first 5 years or so I had been working on it to build my wife a hot rod, I spent a lot of money to have the engine rebuilt and the tranny also, but it was unfortunately put in by someone who had a garage but was not smart enough to work on a car of this complexity. This is not an easy car. I don't know why I let him touch the car but when I got the engine back it ran beautifully, then the new tranny came back, his swamper told me he took and beat the torque converter in. blown tranny, I had the old one put in but he put the lines incorrectly in and now it runs, but smokes. I spoke with a real knowledgeable mechanic who told me there was no way he could have hurt the new engine , The tranny leaked at the inner seal when i parked it 5 or more years ago, I had bought green leather seat covers and a whole parts car from this lady who had it and I stripped the car to the husk. I took and rebuilt the bumpers because they were all shot but amazingly the bad parts on the one were good on the other, so the bumpers are good. I undercoated it after I took off all the bottom rust used rubberized asphalt, then thick aluminum and another coat of asphalt, it is like stone now, the exhaust is custom, dual exhaust, thrush pipes, out to the back. When it ran before he messed with the tranny it sounded great but it would need work now. I have so many parts and all the extra parts from the other car, about double of each part. new radiator and air conditioner radiator,
At this point, a motor-head would really make out, considering all the money and time I put in the car, but as I am old, I just bought the wife a runner and this now takes up space in the garage.
I would gladly take a trade for it. This car has a lot of potential for the right person. If you have a good trade, because I know money is tight, I would consider it, but don't embarass the both of us. If you are looking for a car like this, with many, many extra expensive parts live me a shot.
Also, I have many many electrical parts you would have to pay a small fortune for in the dealer, if you need give me a try for a greater discount than you can get anywhere else.

Daimler buying 12% stake in Beijing Auto
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Daimler and Beijing Automotive are officially going steady, with the German company set to take a 12-percent stake in the Chinese brand tomorrow. The two are already tied up in a Mercedes engine plant in Beijing, of which BAIC will increase its stake in, from 50 to 51 percent. Daimler will also get two seats on the Chinese company's board. BAIC may also gain the ability to produce cars on Mercedes-Benz platforms, according to Automotive News Europe.
The investment in BAIC comes ahead of that company's initial public offering, according to a report form Bloomberg, which indicates the deal will be inked tomorrow in the Chinese capital. According to the report, if the circumstances are right, BAIC may turn around and invest in the Germany company "soon."
It's not entirely clear just how much the 12-percent cut is costing Daimler, although it seems reasonable to assume that, as it's ahead of the IPO, the parent company of Mercedes is getting a bit of a bargain.
Dartz promises own 6x6 G-Class with golden shishas and a dining room
Mon, 25 Mar 2013So you didn't really think Dartz Motorz was going to let the limited-production, 544-horsepower Mercedes 6x6 G63 AMG go without a challenge, did you? Picking up the gauntlet as only Dartz can, the Russian dream-makers have come up with the Sahara G-eopard, supposedly a special request from a buyer to make one of the 'standard' six-wheelers "more opulent and insane."
That means the vehicle from the factory gets extended by about a foot (30 centimeters), coach doors in the rear, a "yacht floor" and air conditioning that runs on its own power source, Asanti 24-inch Gold Bullion wheels and a water dispenser with Russian diamonds, which the owner will need to fill the golden shishas (hookahs) in the portable smoking room. That's right, you heard the man: a portable smoking room. Where the occupants will retire when they're finished in the portable dining room. Of course.
Yes, it will even have leopard spotting painted onto its nano-coating, and so much more. You can check out the press release below from the source. Try not to be jealous.
Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
