1972 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman.
Here is a real find; an unrestored, sold new, and lived all its' life in California MBZ 600 LWB. This car even has its' original California issued blue license plates, we were able to peel back the yearly registration stickers which went back to its' 1974 first registration sticker. The car is rust free and solid, the floors have no rust. Even the area behind the rear wheels that are prone to rust on the best of these cars is original and rust free. The car looks to have had one older repaint. The car starts easily, sounds good and idles well and does not smoke. The car goes through the gears and the brakes stop the car. We purchased the car around five years ago, and since then had the plugs wires, distributor cap and dual points changed; the gas tank and lines were cleaned and we replaced the fuel injection unit (from renowned Pacific Fuel Injection in San Francisco). We also replaced all four suspension bags (purchased from Mercedes Benz Classic Center in Irvine CA.....supposedly the last few left). The tachometer, speedometer/odometer, gauges and dash lights work...the gas gauge does not work. The exterior lights/turn signals work. The interior courtesy lights and glove box light work; the ambient temperature gauge works. The clock and radio do not work. The heating & a/c will need to be checked/serviced. The interior is original, the seats have normal wear and have never been refinished/dyed. Overall the car is original/ un-restored and is in such condition. The hydraulic system that controls the windows, center divider, moon-roof, cowl vent and trunk all work. In the past when we installed the air bags, the rear of the car would go up and stay up, the front bags would go up and after about three days go down to half height and stay there. Right now, the air bags fill with air but the car does not rise above the level as seen in the pictures. The tires that the car had been sitting on had a lot of tread but were old and dry cracked, so to avoid any complications/issues we just installed a brand new set of tires....the spare is still a BF Goodrich polyester tubeless tire. In California, vehicles over ten years old are exempt from mileage disclosures. However, as you can see the mileage on the odometer shows 27,489; on the driver doorjamb there is a sticker from the mid seventies that says that odometer was repaired and replaced at 50,865. So, we can assume the car has been driven at least a combination of those two amounts. If you have any questions other than "what's your reserve/buy it now price", you are welcome to contact us through ebay; or call my cell# 559-801-8623 anytime between 10am-6pm PST (California time; please calculate time difference, if any, before calling). Thanks, Bill. This vehicle is sold as-is and as equipped. However, you are welcome to come see and/or have the car inspected before the end of the auction. Payment is due in full within seven days of the end of the auction. California buyers and all in-state sales are subject to sales tax, doc. & lic fees. In California, vehicles over ten years old are sold miles 'exempt'. Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer. |

AMG-powered Aston Martins still years away
Mon, 16 Sep 2013After flirting for several years, Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin have finally tied the knot. Just don't expect to see any offspring to result from the union for at least three or four years.
This according to Auto Express, which spoke with Daimler chief Dr. Dieter Zetsche at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. AE reports that a new range of AMG-developed turbocharged V8s, transmissions and electrical components will make their way into the successors to the current V8 Vantage and DB9, but that these models are still a few years off.
Purists might balk at the thought of a Mercedes-powered Aston holding true to the brand's heritage. But while David Brown (for whom the DB range is named) may have steered clear of shoehorning in Detroit muscle into his cars, the entirety of the company's current range is powered by engines borrowing technology from Ford, and that arrangement seems to have worked well for Aston until now. And if you're still skeptical, look no further than Pagani and its AMG-sourced engines and you should have all the proof you need that the new relationship between Daimler and Aston could be a success.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG rumbles on stage 4Matic style
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Bruce Hornsby and his soothing piano skills helped introduce us to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but the monstrous E63 AMG sedan needed no entrance music as it rumbled on stage. The 550-horsepower (and up) sedan sat proudly alongside the rest of the redesigned E-Class on stage at the Detroit Auto Show, but stood miles apart in intention and execution.
In addition to a choice of sedan and wagon body styles, the E63 AMG will also offer buyers the choice of the standard 550 hp or an upgraded 577-hp S-Model; regardless of output, all 2014 E63 AMG models will come standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
We already saw the E63 AMG's aggressive styling last week, but now we have a full assortment of live images for you to enjoy as well as the Mercedes-Benz press release, which is also posted below.
Does Alex Rodriguez' Mercedes dealership have a PR problem?
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Alex Rodriguez, in case you haven't heard, is seemingly the new Most Hated Man In Baseball, ostensibly replacing commissioner Bud Selig (for now). Rodriguez was slammed with a 211-game suspension due to his role in the MLB's latest steroid scandal in which "A-Roid," as fans have taken to calling the former superstar, was cited with steroid use and attempts to hide his involvement by "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate" the investigation, according to the MLB's official report.
Why is this on a car site, then? Because Rodriguez' name is attached Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City, TX. An Ad Age report cites Mercedes-Benz USA in saying that A-Rod owns "about half'" of the dealership. Mercedes, for what it's worth, isn't going to any to any lengths to distance itself from its dealership or its controversial namesake, saying, "We never promoted the fact that A-Rod owned a dealership, so there's really nothing to 'distance' ourselves from. And since his activity is not illegal but rather prohibited by MLB, there's nothing actionable here."
With the scandal still a fresh piece of news and A-Rod's pending appeal, it's difficult to tell what sort of effect, if any, his name will have on the dealership's sales. Ad Age contacted the GM of Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz to get the dealership's view, but no calls were returned. According to Mercedes, any name change is up to Rodriguez and his partner(s) at the dealership. Somehow, though, we think A-Rod has other things to worry about beyond his dealership's name.
