I purchased this car last summer and had a considerable amount of work done on it. Mechanically the car is excellent. Approximately 3500 miles since it’s been back on the road, even on the hottest days in Los Angeles traffic the temperature never goes above the middle of the gauge. Would make a great daily driver given it's mechanical condition. No expense spared engine rebuild using the original numbers matching block, new OEM Mercedes parts used where available, excellent condition refurbished parts used when new parts not available.

- Correct cylinder head fully rebuilt, replaced rocker arms, valve guides, head gasket, etc…

- Bosch fuel injection pump bench tested, serviced, replaced the choke, diaphragm, filter and thermostat, fuel injectors cleaned and tested

- Transmission fully serviced, pressures adjusted, it shifts very well and doesn’t leak

Here is a partial list of parts that were replaced during the rebuild: New forged pistons and rings, all bearings, hoses, pipes, head pipes, gaskets, water and cooler lines, timing chain, guides, and tensioners, intermediate gears, chain guides, the oil pump – tachometer gear shaft, oil pump (up rated spec), water pump, thermostat, thermostat hose, thermostat pipe, and thermostat housing.

Additionally:

 -All engine bay parts professionally powder coated

-Correct gold colour plating used where needed

-Correct diamond pattern firewall pad

-Rebuilt brake booster

-New brake master cylinder

-Radiator and radiator expansion tank professionally cleaned and refinished

-All new rubber hoses in the engine bay, new belts, new clamps, new rubber bushings, new air filter canister seal, etc…

-New OEM Mercedes white battery

-New tires all around including the spare tire, Hunter alignment done 

From what I know the previous owner had the fuel tank either replaced or refurbished, replaced the fuel pump, and replaced the shocks all around with new Bilstein’s, amongst other work.

Interior wise, new German wool square weave carpets were installed as well as Dynamat insulation. Upholstery and headliner are all in good condition Wood console box was refinished by Madera Concepts (in the pictures it isn't mounted, and I have the ashtray it's just not in the pictures). Original clock works, but it’s a bit slow. Original Becker radio was fully restored by Becker Autosound in New Jersey, they installed a  hidden auxiliary input in the glove box. New correct size in-dash speaker installed where the original one was.

Exterior wise, the car is now dark blue, but was an original green car. I did not have it painted. There are imperfections from driving, but it's very glossy and shows well. The car has the factory paint runs under the hood, the factory spot welds on both original fenders, and it does not appear as though there has ever been collision damage. The soft top is good, no tears and the plastic is very clear. The hard top is in good condition as well, and the headliner is clean with no tears or damage.

Comes with the original manual, spare tire cover, tool kit, and jack. Clear California title and registration until July 2014. There are restored Year of Manufacture black plates on the car, not included but if you would like them we can discuss it. Kuhlmeister Air Conditioning was installed but I had it removed when the engine was rebuilt. I can include the pieces if desired, but don't know if the system works or if it's complete as I never tried it. The under dash vent unit is in good condition cosmetically.

The car is described to the best of my knowledge, I'm not an expert on W113's and this is the first one I've owned, I make no guarantees about it's condition and the car is sold as is. Inspections are encouraged during the bidding period. Please do not bid if you are not able to complete the transaction. If you have any questions please send me a message and I will respond promptly. Thanks for your interest.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

Mercedes CLA45 AMG Racing is ready for a spot on the grid

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Mercedes-Benz trotted out its CLA45 AMG-based racer at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. We first showed you the sedan in the deluge of news and reveals that precedes most good auto shows, and were blown away by the car, formally known as the CLA45 AMG Racing Series.
We were strolling by the Mercedes stand, and figured we'd pop in and take a look at the new racer and its carbon-fiber body panels, gutted interior, and race-sourced aero parts. It's a looker, both as a road car and a track weapon. It's not clear what series the CLA45 AMG will qualify for, although it does seem like a shoe-in for the World Touring Car Championship. Let us know what you think of the CLA racer down in the comments. In the meantime, we've got a full gallery of live images up top, along with the stock images that were posted last week on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

The biggest misconception about the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series is that it's simply a higher-performing version of the SLS GT - a closer look, or better yet, a few hot laps on a high-speed racing circuit, reveals that is anything but the case.
Launched in the States in mid-2011, the standard SLS GT is a 583-horsepower, all-aluminum, gull-wing coupe with performance that positions it near the top of the exotic segment. While the AMG team at Mercedes-Benz could have left it alone, their experience with the SLS AMG GT3 race car said there was room for improvement, so they devised the SLS Black Series. The transformation from SLS GT to SLS Black Series is extensive, with no fewer than 17 different significant enhancements.
The engine mapping, crankshaft, connecting rods, valve-train, intake, exhaust and cooling are all modified and the engine's redline bumps up from 7,200 to 8,000 rpm, which pushes output of the hand-built 6.3-liter V8 to 622 horsepower. The power steering receives a new ratio, a coil-over AMG Adaptive Performance suspension is installed along with underbody braces, the track is widened, two-piece carbon-ceramic brakes replace iron rotors at each corner and a lightweight titanium exhaust is fitted beneath. The AMG Speedshift seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is modified and an electronically controlled AMG rear differential lock ensures the power goes to the pavement. Last on the mechanical upgrades are new lightweight forged wheels (10x19 inches front and 12x20 inches rear) wrapped in special R-compound Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.
