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.

Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.

Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.

Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA gets official ahead of Shanghai

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

Mercedes-Benz has something special planned for the Shanghai Motor Show - a new CUV concept that we first saw when it leaked on the internet yesterday. The GLA Concept compact crossover will hit the show stand with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque mated to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive, and likely previews a new production model that we've already spotted testing.
That's not news, but the laser-based headlamps with video-projecting capability certainly are. Mercedes-Benz says the array can project any image or video onto a screen, which is handy since there are a pair of HD cameras mounted to the roof rack. The cameras can be removed and taken with you on all sorts of adventures. The lamps also feature a visible cooling system comprised of a series of fans, and the system helps give the headlights their "sparkle" effect.
Step indoors and the GLA offers up the interior of a high-quality crossover, complete with contrasting leather and plenty of aluminum. The automaker says the cabin was inspired by saddle craftsmanship with "more than 65 feet of hand-stitched seams to hold the raw edges of the leather together."
