Up for auction is the last of my classic car collection.This is a 1991 Mercedes 560 SEC Coupe.I aquired this classic beauty about two years ago from it's original owner in California.I fell in love with it at first sight due to the color combination,Ice Blue Metallic with Gray Leather interior,( to my knowledge, this is the only one manufactured with these colors for this, the final year of production of the " hand built German Classic)". Only 220 were produced , and this was in the last batch that was built.
As you cas see from the photos,it is about as close to perfect as can be found on the market. This model was said to be the favorite for Princess Diana,and after owning it I can see why this would be true.It drives as new, and is admired by all that see it.
When I purchased the car and had it shipped to me I wanted to make it as close to perfect as possible. The transmission had a slight hesitation when shifted to reverse, (which is probably the only weak point on this year Mercedes), so I had the transmission rebuilt to Mercedes specs.All fluids were changed, maintance was performed, and all brake pads were replaced. A/C was changed to r134A at that time.
Records and original sticker is included,MSRP price was $ 84,580.00.The car now has 186 k miles which isn't many for a 22 year old vehicle.I sold my last one five years ago with 372,000 miles and was still going strong.This car is almost bullet proof if oil is changed when advised.This car has no oil leaks or other problems associated with the cars that spend their entire time sitting in a garage or museum--.Rubber seals don't like setting idle without being run.
As I stated, this is the last of my collection of classic cars and street rods.Due to inoperable back disk problems,I've been selling the cars which took me years to find.I've sold several street rods, a 2005 Chevy SSR, and my Cadillac XLR. This is your chance to get a Great 560 SEC.
If you have any questions, you can call me at (843) 697 8190. I have about $ 22,000.00 invested in this car but I have put a very reasonable reserve on this auction.
Please,no tire kickers, if you're not really interested, don't waste my time and yours.You must have a paypal account to bid, and I reserve the right to cancel any low or bad feedback bidders.You are welcome to have someone inspect the car, but please do this before you bid. I will meet with your shipper, but all shipping must be arranged by the buyer. A $500.00 deposit must be recieved withen 72 hours of completion of auction, and delivery should be taken within 2 weeks of auction end.This is an auction for United States only. Happy Bidding, this is a no disappointment car !!!!

Mercedes-Benz introduces new heavy security M-Class Guard model
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new addition to the company's line of personal security vehicles. The M-Class Guard features bullet-proof side windows made with special laminated glazing and a polycarbonate inner layer to protect occupants from shards of glass. Mercedes says the M-Class Guard meets protection level VR4 according to the Bullet Resistant Vehicles 2009 standards, based on testing from the independent Ulm-based Ballistics Bureau, which means it can withstand .357 Magnum and .44 fire from multiple angles. It can also stand up to the DM51 hand grenade when equipped with optional floor armoring. Why skimp?
Buyers looking for protection from the world's literal slings and arrows can opt for the ML350 BlueTEC with its 258 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. With 457 pound-feet of torque, the oil-burner should have no trouble hustling the privileged class about. Of course, the ML500 offers a bit more punch courtesy of a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Prices start at 105,050 euros for the diesel and 118,650 euros for the V8. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
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.
Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.
