1964 MERCEDES 230SL
Beautiful European Model

Here is your opportunity to own a beautiful classic Mercedes Benz 230SL.

 This highly desirable European version of the 230SL has a 4 speed transmission that shifts easily and runs strong!  This stunner will start right up without hesitation, handles great and a pleasure to drive.  The vehicle was a daily driver to work (short distance) for 40 years in the Southern California Area and was loved and well maintained.  The manual and all available service records come with the vehicle.
  
 This gorgeous car has head turning red exterior complimented by black interior.  The eye catching red paint job was nicely done, looks sharp and maintains a beautiful shine that is set off by the original chrome.  The original color code was white, and there are minor imperfections in paint and slight rust at front of windshield (see photos).  The black interior is original and in good shape with the only wear showing to the drivers seat (see photo) and some to the carpet which is also original.  Car has original Nardi steering wheel, wood trim, side panels, dash and interior in good original condition.  Passenger window has minor scratches.  The soft and hard tops look sharp and are in great working order. 

There are no known accidents and the car looks and drives straight. 
 Vehicle has been professionally serviced through the years with the top end of the motor being rebuilt and the rear differential redone (service records available).  When the rear differential was redone the rear end disc brakes were also upgraded so that all four brakes are power disc.  Odometer reads 90000 kilometers converting to approximately 56000 miles.  I am listing this for a friend who is moving and can't accommodate the vehicle at their new residence.
 Please call for more information about the car.  714-642-6010

Don't miss out on this SHARP Classic European Model Mercedes 230SL.

Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]

Sat, 23 Feb 2013

Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.

Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart

Tue, 27 Sep 2011

If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
