Hello, I am selling a 1973 Mercedes Benz 280 c 2 door coupe with 26,250 miles on it. This car has recently been restored to its original charm. Luckily, we had a good base to work with. This car has a 114 body style that is considered to be one of Mercedes' finest and most desirable. It is no wonder that the car is a stand out that will make your neighbors heads turn. The color adds to the car's character and appeal as well. The baby blue color is a color that just isn't made anymore but one that was originally typical to this car. The car was recently received a $4,000 paint job so while it looks fresh, new and clean, we were able to maintain the character by keeping the traditional coloring. The seats have also been redone ,the brake system has been redone, the ignition system was upgraded to make it an electronic ignition, and much more has been done. The objective in restoring the car was to put it in good working condition while maintaining the style and character.The 280c is a joy to drive. It runs great with a sports car feel and it shifts with ease. We have all the originals manuals and all documentation of the restoration from our ownership will be given with the sale. $16,000 dollars were spent on the restoration alone so this is a steal. The only minor issues that we have come across are tiny crack. in the windshield that has been drilled and filled to prevent the crack from increasing, I have a spare solex 4A1 4 barrel carburetor that will be included in the sale to make sure that there are absolutely no issues. the car runs great. We would be happy to answer any questions you have please call 6102033180 thank you.

Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader
Mon, 25 Mar 2013In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.
Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013How much extra value does previous celebrity ownership add to of a car? Really, there's no way to know until the car in question hits the auction block and bidders start raising their hands. In the case of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing you see above, the celebrity owner is none other than Clark Gable, who purchased it new. After Gable's death in 1960, the car changed hands a few times before settling with Charles Wood in 1975.
A high-dollar restoration was performed in 1989, and period accessories added by Gable himself were kept in place, including the Rudge knock-off wheels and Nardi steering wheel. Any Mercedes-Benz 300SL is worth a big chunk of money. In the case of Clark Gable's old Gullwing, the bidding stalled at $1.9 million here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. As one of the 5000-series cars, this 300SL carried a reserve, and a bit of after-the-fact dealmaking saw the car change hands for $1.85 million.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class caught totally undisguised
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Based on the lightly camouflaged spy shots of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class we've seen lately, it hasn't taken a vivid imagination to picture what the next iteration of this big luxury sedan will look like. Even so, we now we have our first unobstructed views of the redesigned S-Class, codenamed W222, as it has just been caught out flaunting for some promo shots.
The first thing we notice about the new S-Class design is the disappearance of the last generation's flared wheel arches. Yet the new design adds even more character with bodyside creases similar to the CLS-Class and some elements reminiscent of 2007's F700 Concept, including the massive grille and vertical LED taillights. Other key details include a large panoramic roof and the narrow exhaust outlets, but the large LED-trimmed headlights and the aggressive front fascia are probably the biggest departure from the current design. With these spy shots, we also catch a blurry shot of the interior, but we've seen a practically uncovered look at the new S-Class' cabin back in January.
Overall, the next S-Class sports an expressive and premium new look, but as far as all-new designs go, it's quite conservative - a move no doubt fitting for these lean financial times.
