I'm offering my 1972 Mercedes 350SL. She's a late model car, built in the Fall of 72. Factory options include power locks, trunk release and the aluminum wheels, now polished.
This is a beautiful driver quality car, probably a #3 condition. I'm a collector, not a dealer, but I've been trading cars and motorcycles for more than 20 years. Although it's been a while since my last offer, see my feedback history and I believe you'll know that I am honest and straight up about any vehicle I offer.
This car was completely redone at some point. I know this because the factory color was Maple Yellow over Red Interior, and I'm glad the change was made because the Red on Tan color combo is much better in my opinion. Tan interior is new not dyed. I bought this car in the Fall, while looking for a 280 sel or 560 sel....it was just too nice to pass up.
I drive the car every week and she runs out beautifully, not a single issue to speak of....in fact, even the A/C works. I don't believe the motor has ever been apart, but because of the color change and the fact that the entire engine bay was redone, I'm sure the drive train was pulled at that time. This is a great driver quality car, but it isn't a show car. The paint is in great shape, but probably 7/8 years old at this point, so there is minor wear, a few chips and dings, etc. This is a rust free car, but there is one small bubble, about the size of a quarter, under the paint on the lower right front fender. You can see it in the pics, but you have to be looking for it.
The vacuum power locks aren't working, but that's the only thing I've found that doesn't seem to function. Oh, and the darn odometer went out on me while driving it a few weeks ago. The clear, box A title shows about 85,000, now odo shows 93,889 and I believe that to be original, but the odometers in these cars go out frequently so it's hard to tell. Power windows work great, brakes are good, motor runs like a top, A/C blows cold, but I never use it so it may need a refresh. Tires are in good shape, but if I kept her, I'd put a new set on. Dash has a few small cracks and the sun visors are swollen.
Hard top is great and the soft top is like brand new, in fact I've never used it at all.
I have over $5,000 worth of receipts, plus owners manual and top tools.
I love this car and I'd drive it from coast to coast without any hesitation.
Hagerty puts #3 cars at $15k, but I'm willing to let it go for a great deal.

Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)
Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG coming to the New York Auto Show
Tue, 05 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz showed off the CLA45 AMG at a private event on the eve of the Geneva Motor Show, but was determined not to let it be photographed. We can talk about it, though - after all, a teaser image was released to promote the new Sony game Drive Club. The CLA45 AMG will use the same powertrain as the A45 AMG, which means a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. And that means a small four-door coupe sedan with the highest horsepower-per-liter in the segment. It will shift through the same seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, should also run out of speed at 155 miles per hour and have that three-stage stability control system.
As with its hatch sibling, the CLA is already so aggressive on the outside - and the parent company so anxious not to demolish the sedan's 0.22 coefficient of drag - that not much has been done to the cranked-up CLA. Even the rather thin tires on the standard only get a little less thin on the hotter variant. Inside will be the telltale AMG signs, with lots of red detailing and that flat-bottomed wheel among the giveaways. We'll know more later this month when the wraps come off at the New York International Auto Show.
XCAR marks 20-year anniversary of Senna's passing with Mercedes 190E Cosworth
Thu, 01 May 2014While the automotive world is focusing on the twentieth anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death, there was much, much more to the legendary driver than his untimely passing at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
XCAR has the story of a younger Senna, who, by a stroke of luck, found himself matched up against a veritable dream team of nine Formula One champions, not to mention a cadre of German touring car aces. A "probably still pissed (drunk)" James Hunt, hard-driving Niki Lauda and future champion and rival Alain Prost, were in attendance for the one-off, spec race, which was put on by Mercedes-Benz, in honor of the opening of the Nürburgring's Grand Prix circuit. And Senna was on hand with the explicit goal of besting them all.
Each driver was handed a lightly modified, but brand-new 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth, a car that can best be though of as the distant ancestor of the lovable C63 AMG. As for the race itself, well, it was sort of like an introduction of what the sport could come to expect from the Brazilian.
