1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL Fire Engine Red on Black Leather Call Justin with Questions 503-969-5127 Hello all, and welcome to my auction. I have had some problems lately with eBay sales where the winning bidder simply dissapears after winning the auction. The only thing I can ask is that you please bid only when you really wish to purchase. If you have questions or reservations please call or write to me so we can try to resolve them before bidding. Think about shipping and taxes that may be applicable in your state. I charge NO ADDITIONAL FEES, but it will cost you to register the car in your state. This is a NO RESERVE auction. The last bidder will own the car. So if you bid and nobody bids after you.. You win:) I have a really nice and well preserved 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL for sale. This is the convertible model and comes with both the hard and soft tops. This is a really striking color combination for Mercedes. The red is very vibrant and looks fantastic against the black of the leather interior. The paint is good with very few chips or marks. It is a re-spray but I would consider it to be above average work. There are no waves or areas of filler that I can detect. The chrome bumpers are straight as is the chrome on the other areas of the Mercedes. The windshield is in good condition with no pitting or cracking. The soft-top is in good condition too. I doubt it was ever used much. It took two of us to stretch in into place after being folded in the boot for who knows how long. The plastic rear windows are still soft and pliable with no hazy or milky discoloration and the canvas fabric show very little wear. The edges of the top were still rolled up a bit for the photos, but I am confident they will relax with an afternoon in the sun. The factory alloys are nice and the tires are above 80% tread. This Mercedes is a US Spec vehicle but the lights were upgraded to the European Style headlight lenses. I really like the look and think it really sets this car apart from the pack. The interior is very nice and clean too. The seats are soft and the leather is issue free. The actually look new to me. My guess is they were re-upholstered in the last few years. They are very close to mint condition. The carpet, while original is very nice too. No matting or wearing or problems whatsoever. The dash is nice too. It has a cloth cover over it for protection. Other than the Velcro tabs used to hold the cover in place, it is clean and crack free. All of the gages work properly as do the lights and blinkers and wipers. I take that back.. I did notice that the light inside the glovebox was kinda hanging there and may need to be fiddled with.. Other than that though it’s all good electrically. The A/C is not blowing cold for one reason or another.. All of the equipment is there and the belt too so hopefully it’s not too sinister. The Mercedes runs and drives great. It starts up easily with no hesitation and does not smoke at all. It does not drip or leak oil either. The engine has excellent power and the transmission shits properly between all of the gears. The SL drives straight down the road with no pulling or wandering. The wheels don’t vibrate at speed and there is no play in the wheel. The brakes stop straight and true and the pedal is solid underfoot. This is a really nice Mercedes considering its age. It is almost 35 years old! It’s nice, but it’s not perfect. I can describe it to the finest detail if you want to call me.. I just can’t write it all in an ad. Please ask questions if you have them I don’t want there to be any differences between the car and your expectations. I looked hard and could not find any rust anywhere. The floors are solid and original. This Mercedes-Benz has all of the vintage appeal and legendary reliability that collectors want and it is not going to break anybody’s pocketbook either. Again, there is NO RESERVE and I am opening the bidding up at a penny! I know the SL will sell as long as we all play by these rules. #1. Only bid if you have intentions to buy. #2. Ask any and all questions before bidding. #3. Please contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback. #4. This is an AS-IS sale. I have done my best to describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees except a clean and clear legal title after payment. #5. I will not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the Mercedes. Pay-Pal for deposit only, the balance must be paid by certified check or wire. Legitimate and legal buyers only please. Just be real and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or her purchase. Someone is going to get a great car for a great price. Because of the trouble I have had with non payments I am ready to roll the dice and hope for the best with out a safty net. Please ebayers.. Don't let me down. I also have 100% positive feedback and I plan on keeping that. I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the last second and worry about missing out. Just call me and we will work out a fair price.. I’m Justin my Phone number is 503-969-5127

Aston or Bust? Maybach's fate to be decided next month
Mon, 13 Jun 20112011 Maybach 62 - Click above for high-res image gallery
What will become of Maybach? That question has been rattling around the halls of Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart for some time now. But all questions will be answered, and answered soon: according to reports, the German automaker is currently evaluating prototypes and propositions for its top-end marque, and will make its decision next month.
So, what are the options? On the one hand, Daimler could kill the Maybach brand altogether. It was a notion ill conceived and even more poorly executed, taking an old platform and building a new flagship atop it. In that way, it was sort of like the Chrysler Crossfire, only far more costly to both the buyer and manufacturer. On the other hand, Daimler could opt for the long-time-coming proposition of contracting the production (and possibly much of the development) of a new generation of Maybachs to Aston Martin.
SRT Viper dukes it out with Mercedes SLS Black Series in new Head 2 Head
Fri, 05 Jul 2013In Episode 36 of Motor Trend's Head 2 Head, now that the Corvette ZR1 is no more, Jonny Lieberman has to look overseas to the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series for a challenger with similar philosophy to the SRT Viper: long hood hiding a high-horsepower engine set way back, rear-wheel drive, tiny trunks. That puts the Viper's 8.4-liter V10 with 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque against the SLS AMG's 6.2-liter V8 with 622 hp and 468 lb-ft.
However, the congruences in philosophy and magnitude of numbers doesn't translate to the driving experiences of the two, which are literally and figuratively on different continents. Lieberman gets a handle on the two of them on Northern California roads, Randy Probst then finds out how, and how quickly, they can lap Laguna Seca.
They both get kudos for being improvements on their original sources, but only one of them can take the win. You can find out by watching the video below.
Daimler employees can set email to auto-delete during vacation
Mon, 18 Aug 2014The Internet has shrunk the world in terms of the way people communicate by making it possible to send an email from Oslo and have it show up in Cleveland almost immediately. But that instant contact has wrecked the work/life balance for many. They get home from a long day at the office, yet they can never fully put their feet up and relax because another hour or more of checking and replying to emails awaits. However, German automotive giant Daimler is putting an end to that churn, at least while its employees are on vacation.
About 100,000 Daimler employees in Germany are eligible to opt-in to a new program called Mail on Holiday, according to The Atlantic. When the workers go on vacation, they can switch it on, and the service auto-deletes all of their incoming email. "Our employees should relax on holiday and not read work-related emails," said Wilfried Porth, board member for human resources, to The Financial Times as cited by The Atlantic.
Mail on Holiday puts a thumb on the scale of work/life balance in favor of a little more free time. The system means that Daimler employees shouldn't even be tempted to check their email on vacation because there's nothing there - and it also avoids them coming back from a relaxing holiday only to find a mailbox packed full of hundreds of unread messages. These days, people are absolutely obsessed with their work, often to the detriment of their health, not to mention spending time with their families and friends. On one hand, Mail on Holiday sounds like the sort of vacation breakthrough we'd need to truly unplug and unwind, but on the other hand, it makes our skin crawl just thinking about the lack of communication.
