Hello, you are viewing my 1985 Mercedes European version with a Lorinser ground effects and Lorinser springs,and real BBS wheels. Only 129017 well cared for miles. This Mercedes is in wonderful condition. *****THIS IS A 1985 500sel, EBAY WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE EURO VIN UNLESS IT WAS OLDER THAN 1980******

The paint is in very good condition (could use a detail/buff to remove some light haze spots from leaf stains in the paint). There are some small scratches and imperfections, over all very solid and presentable.

The leather interior is in excellent condition with no rips or tears (covered most of its life with sheep skin covers). The dash, wood, door panels, headliner and carpets are all in very good condition (also comes with the rear factory foot rest). All windows, sunroof, power seats,mirrors,heated seats, and even the built in radar detector all function properly. Radio is not connected because the prior owner took the aftermarket amplifier that was in the trunk (radio can be hooked up without the amp).

Mechanically the car is excellent!!!!!!! Runs, drives and shifts perfect great. This European version is much faster than the US car. This euro version car has 231 HP with 299 LB Ft of monster torque! Also it is equipped with rear hydraulic suspension, European bumpers and lights, and dual selecting horn switch.

Recent work that was performed in the past 30 days; idle control box replaced, rear suspension hydraulic lines replaced (as needed), replaced fuel and brake lines (as needed) Heat blows hot and the air blows cool (I would guess that it needs 1/2 pound of Freon, the compressor does come on). I would recommend new tire, drives very smooth and straight at 80mph. I would not hesitate to drive this car on a 2000 mile road trip. Exhaust is a true dual system with an H pipe (sounds great!)

Also included with the car, spare tire, books and the import and EPA documents from when the car entered into the United States in 1986.

The car is sold in “As Is Condition” and with no warranty.

I do encourage pre-sale inspections.

If you have questions, please send me your # and I will give you a call. Please bid if you are serious and have available funds to complete this transaction. Thank you.

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.

Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."

Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold

Wed, 08 Feb 2012

Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
