Hello and thank you for visiting my auction.
This auction is for 1 absolutely beautiful 1966 Mercedes Benz 230SL. The car has a brand new restoration done by an incredible body shop in Miami Florida. 95% of the car has been refinished.. From a brand new paint job, to new electric and wiring through out the majority of the motor. This car is my from my personal collection. I bought the car about 1 year ago and spent $17,000.00 during its restoration. I purchased the car from the 2nd owner and it was 100% original!!! I have pictures of the car when I first purchased it if you'd like to see. Please send me your email and I will gladly send them. Below is a list of things to know about the car.
ON A SCALE OF 1-10, 10 BEING PERFECT, THIS CAR IS A SOLID 7 and 3/4!
Exterior: The 230 has a brand new, 6 month old Pearl White paint job. It is absolutely stunning! Originally, the car was white and had some rust on the rear fenders, and I had my body shop cut the metal and weld new metal back on. (It was only about a square inch on both rear fenders). I then had them paint the car with a high quality paint, and as you can see from the finished product in the pictures, it came out amazing and I was very happy with the finished product. ($7500.00 value). The lines and body panels on this car are EXTREMELY straight. This car was 100% original when I purchased it and the previous owner told me it had never been crashed or repainted! In other words, the body panel skins look like the day they came out of the factory in 1966. I also had the trunk lid replaced with a brand new one and that alone was $1,400.00. As you can see from the pictures, there isn't one dent on any body panel on the car!
I've also added a brand new Navy Blue canvas top. As you can see from the pictures, it folds perfectly into the top-compartment and only takes about a minute to put the top down. ($1300.00 value)
The tires on the car are in excellent shape and are only 1 year old. They only have an estimated 2,000 miles on them.
The car also has all of the polished metal trim. About 90% of it was re-installed. I have the other few pieces needed, but I have not had time to take it back to Miami where I had the car re-stored. I was told that the car still has some rust underneath.
Interior: The interior is also brand new! I had everything taken out of the car when it was being restored at the body shop and taken to an upholstery shop in Miami as well. As you can see from the pictures, the seats, dash, visors, and convertible top-housing were completely re-done. I tried to match the original color of the interior which was a "baseball clay" like color. There is a picture of one of the original door handles on the seat for comparison. Once the car was put back together at the body shop, I drove the car back to the upholstery shop and had them carpet all of the flooring, rear storage space, and the trunk with brand new Navy blue carpet to match the Convertible top. ($3,000.00 value)
Motor: The car runs absolutely incredible! I had 90% of the wiring through out the motor and car replaced as well as a new battery. I also had all 12 rocker arms/lifters replaced about 3 months ago. The car sounds excellent, is quiet relative to its age, and fires right up. ($4,500.00 value) IT DOES NOT AND NEVER HAS OVER HEATED!
There is only 1 very small issue that I can think of mechanically. There is a very small oil leak coming from a gasket which I've already purchased and will come with the car. The car will also come with a few other brand new cosmetic and mechanical parts which I've purchased to simply anticipate any thing else mechanically although everything is is running perfect.
If you have any questions at all, please message me right away. PLEASE TRUST my incredible feedback. I have sold countless cars, boats, jetski's, watches, and several other high end items that total well over $1,000,000.00 in sales on ebay, all from my personal collection, and as you can see, my feedback is almost perfect! You are getting an absolute quality car!
This is your chance to get a car valued by Hagerty Insurance @ $30,000.00 for a great price! Very Low Reserve! Best of luck!

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class spotted in the snow
Mon, 11 Mar 2013The entry-level Mercedes-Benz C-Class has long felt like nothing more than, well, just that. Aside from the potent and delicious C63 AMG models, there hasn't been much to set the C-Class apart in the entry-level luxury/sport segment, leading to the model being regarded by many as "The Cheap Mercedes." No, it's certainly not a bad car, but for our money, it hasn't stood up particularly well to competitors like the BMW 3 Series or Audi A4.
So with the handsome new CLA-Class coming to round off the entry-level end for Mercedes-Benz, big plans are in store for the C-Class. We can see some evidence of that in this latest set of spy shots from our friends at CarPix. According to earlier reports, the new C-Class will be "far more dramatic" in the visuals department, and while the sedan's sculpting is still covered by camo, the much sleeker headlamp design we see here is, at the very least, a good start. The car's overall size is expected to grow a bit to further distance itself from the CLA, though thanks to lightweight materials, curb weight isn't expected to increase.
Just like the current model, the new C-Class is expected to use four- and six-cylinder engines, both gas- and diesel-fed, and overall power output for the global engine range should span from 120-ish on the low end to as much as 330. These new engines are expected to be mounted lower and farther rearward than before, offering better balance for both rear- and 4Matic all-wheel drive configurations. And as for that AMG? Rumors suggest a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 will fall underhood.
Maybach could become Mercedes-Benz sub-brand
Wed, 22 Jun 2011When you're arriving in a twin-turbocharged, twelve-cylinder Maybach limo, there's no reason you should ever have to be late. Except, maybe, to make a fashionable entrance. But up at the corporate level, the entire Maybach brand is being slowed down as critical decisions about its future are being undertaken.
Last week, we reported that a decision on what path Maybach would take going forward would be due at the start of next month, but the latest reports indicate that the timeframe has been extended as further options are being considered.
The previous options under consideration were twofold: either relaunch the brand with production outsourced to Aston Martin - which suddenly finds itself with excess production capacity - or shut it down completely. And those are still two very real options. Word has it that Aston has put together four concept cars for the Daimler brass to consider, all based on the next-generation S-Class platform (and thankfully not the old one).
How could a lifted Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG be more awesome? Add an axle
Fri, 01 Mar 2013We are fully confident in saying that this will be the most amazing thing you see all day. First of all, it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen - in AMG spec, no less. And it's being shown off in high-definition video glory, blasting through the desert, jumping over sand dunes, and generally being awesome. But here's the kicker: It has six wheels. Three axles. And they're all driven. Holy $%!#.
Under the hood is AMG's usual 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, and total output is rated at 536 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That's impressive and all, but do keep in mind that the G63 6x6 weighs in at 8,322 pounds or, you know, the weight of two E-Class sedans. Combine that with its 18 inches of ground clearance, 37-inch tires and five locking differentials and you've got a vehicle capable of, well, everything you've ever imagined or will ever imagine for the rest of your life.
But the goodness doesn't stop once you open the doors. Oh, no. This thing is fit for a king - or a sheik, more appropriately - with ultimately luxurious seating for four. The rear bench seat has been removed in favor of two bucket seats with a fixed console in the middle, and the rear seats have been moved back beyond the usual B pillar to allow for more legroom.
