1976 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL
These W116 body Mercedes Benz are the last of the great "Old World" Mercedes. Stately and sophisticated, they look rich and drive superbly. No plastic bumpers or trim on the outside.
This is rust free two-owner California car. Original and desirable blue and gold California license plates. Silver paint looks and shows very nice, but upon close inspection there are small paint chips and minor paint imperfections here and there. Most all of the paint issues could be solved through a professional detail and paint touch up, after all the car is 36 years old.
The blue upholstery is in good shape with no rips or tears. The front leather seats look like they were replaced by the prior owner and are still very soft and supple. The front driver armrest leather has cracked and could be replaced. Door panels and carpet are presentable. The dash pad has one crack and is protected by a velour blue cover. The wood trim on the dash looks nice. The headliner has a small tear in the rear but is very serviceable as is.
Mechanically the car is very sound. It doesn't burn oil and with a little under 130K miles it has a lot of life left in it. The air pump has seized and should be replaced or rebuilt eventually, but the car runs fine regardless. Brake pads, alternator, and battery were recently replaced within the last couple months. The tires match and have plenty of tread left.
All systems in the car work, with the exception of the fog lights. The drivers side mount cracked however the lamp itself will be included in the sale. The power windows go up and down without issues, The vacuum door locks still function from the drivers key. The vehicle has a large factory electric sunroof that opens and closes smoothly and has had new weather strips fitted to it. The car is now equipped with Pioneer CD player with a iPod input and new speakers.
I am selling simply because I have too many cars and am looking to thin out my meager collection a bit. The car is currently registered through October 2013. The title is clear and in my name.
The car is sold "as is". I will assist any prospective buyers with a pre-purchase inspection at any reputable shop in the LA area. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. The car is very close to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and I can facilitate transportation there for International shipping.

New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC
Sat, 02 Feb 2013Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.
Gullwing America turns SLS AMG Roadster into stunning 1955 300 SC redux
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Gullwing America specializes in what it calls "retro styling meets modern technology." It's next demonstration of that is the convertible above, a stylized recreation of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC (inset) supported by the structure of a 2012 SLS AMG Roadster. Commissioned by a client in Eastern Europe, the resulting car is called the 300 SLC.
The hand-formed aluminum bodywork required just a few changes to the SLS AMG Roadster, namely reworking the headlights into a stacked arrangement of LEDs and relocating the pop-up spoiler behind the cabin. The retro grille and long, straight hood evoke the past, the custom exhaust, height-adjustable suspension, 21-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in back, however, stray a little further from history. The 300 SLC will come with a hardtop and be one-of-a-kind, making it even rarer than its inspiration, of which 92 were made.
If you have any more questions, they can probably be answered in the high-res photo gallery above and press release below.
Mercedes teams with Pebble for smartwatch tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013Most automakers have realized by now that a good infotainment system is a must-have feature for many buyers, and have, as a result, invested increasing amounts of time and money developing these technologies. But some automakers are going above and beyond in-car entertainment and navigation technology by focusing on wearable technology as well.
Nissan has emerged as one such company, developing its own alternative to Google Glass and performance-oriented smartwatch. But Mercedes-Benz is also putting itself at the forefront of wearable tech - not by developing competing products to those designed by dedicated tech companies, but by working with them. The German automaker, as we recently reported, is developing its own app for Google Glass, and is now doing the same with smartwatches as well.
Set to be unveiled at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Mercedes has collaborated with Pebble Technologies to develop the Digital DriveStyle app. The system will display tell its wearer where the car is, whether the doors are locked and if it needs fuel. Inside the car it'll alert the driver to potential hazards coming up on the road, while making functions like re-routing the nav system, controlling the audio system or activating Siri that much easier.
