Mercedes Benz 450 Sel 6.9 on 2040-cars
West Palm Beach, Florida, United States
|
I am selling my My 1979 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL 6.9 for sale to restore or for parts. this car has been in storage since 2003 in doors. the sad thing is that the car was stored in side but the car was backed in front of a window which unfortunately let the sun come in to the back window for 12+ years. the UV in the sun light destroyed the back seats from sitting so long in the same spot. This car is unique in that its a Me cum auction car which means that the car in 2003 was a show car with low mileage. I have some papers to verify this. I am the 2nd Titled owner of this car. because I am Moving to Seattle due to my health and have other cars to ship, I cannot bring this car with me so its being sold for a bargain price to move the car. I WILL NOT take anything below 4,500 and if anyone who knows these cars knows the that mileage and the condition warrant the sale much higher. so.. I will stop the bid if someone wants the car for 5,000 but once bidding starts I will not stop it until the end of the bidding. I have photos of the car in 2003 trim before the storage if needed.I have paper work that will be given showing the Me cum heritage.
The 6.9 was the top of the line car for Mercedes Benz from 1977-1979. it has the 417cc liter dry sump racing engine that MB also used in its limousines make this car the fastest Sedan in the world for many years. Only 1,700 were imported to the united states and 517 (figures vary) were made in 1979 making this car rare indeed. this peculiar car was at one time a show car but unfortunately the car was stored in a barn and forgotten when the Original owner died and only recently has been brought out to the day light. needs: car has not been started in several years though at the time of storage it was driven in and parked with NO mechanical issues. the car as you can see has settled ( as they all do with this type of suspension) the engine does turn over but has not been started by a certified MB mechanic, I agree with him that we would recommend draining the gas tank and maybe cleaning the spark plugs before starting. there should be no reason that the car would not start as there are no mechanical issues at the time of initial storage. the worst on the car would be the back leather seats as seen in the pictures, there are some rust bubbles on the paint particularly on the hood and near the sun roof but other wise the car is in good condition retaliative to its age .Once restored this car will bring easily between 15-32,000 depending of the level of restoration. At any given time there are maybe 1 or no 6.9's listed on Ebay or any other online source. this car cannot be driven home due to the tune up I would give it to get it running ( yes some have asked..) if there are any other questions please ask, and bid accordingly 40748 2709c and good luck! |

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.
Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
2014 Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid for fat cats frugal with fuel
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Judging by how long we waited to get a clear shot of the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid, you'd have thought hybrid cars were only driven by Terminators and that the technology arrived only 48 hours ago through a wormhole in the Mercedes stand. The newest member of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class hybrid band - joining the S400 Hybrid and S350 BlueTEC Hybrid, it hits notes like a 5.5-second sprint from standstill to 62 miles per hour, up to 19 miles of ion-powered running and uses three liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in Europe (78.41 mpg US, but our mpg test cycle is different than their mpg test cycle).
The lump up front is a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6, the lump in back - note the reduction in trunk space - is a pack of lithium-ion batteries that juice an 80-kilowatt electric motor. Other than having four drive options for controlling electric drive and battery usage, it's all S-Class all the time, with leather-covered everything and those mountainous thrones that bring to mind words like "Archduke" and "Papal."
You'll find our hard-earned gallery from the Frankfurt Motor Show floor above, and more words of information in the press release below.
