Drive car anywhere! True gem and cream puff!
HISTORY: You are bidding on a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SL. This car was purchased new by Dennis Hargett of Evansville, IN in 1984 at a cost of almost $46,000. He owned the car for 16 years and put 46K miles on it during that time. In 2001 the car was purchased by Tom Dinn of West Frankfort, IL at a cost of $18,000. Tom owned the car for 12 years and had to sell in this year when he was no longer physically able to enjoy the car. I purchased the car in May of 2013 from Tom with just over 59K on it. I had intentions of flipping as soon as I purchased but kept it for 6 weeks to enjoys this classic!
CONDITION: This car is about as nice as you can find in original condition. The only non original item is an aftermarket stereo. The car has very deep shining paint that is in overall great condition. Minor scuffs from hardtop and rock chips but nothing out of the ordinary for a 29 year old car. The interior is near flawless. No fading or cracking of interior. The car has been garage kept its entire life and it shows. The car has a factory hardtop and softop both look like the day they came off the showroom. This car requires nothing to enjoy on weekend cruises or enter into your local show.
MECHANICALLY: Tom told me when I bough the car I could drive it to California and back! Well I tested that as I drove it 300+ miles home from his house. The car drives flawlessly. I have a 2009 Mercedes and they drive equally as good. I did some minor tune-up items since I was going to enjoy the car a while. This included oil change, topped and checked all fluids, spark plugs, plug wires, rotor button and a new spare tire. The car has Good-Years all around with 85% tread life remaining. REMEMBER....this is a 1984 model and that means double row timing chain... that is a huge expense on pre 1984 models! I let my wife drive this car with her girlfriends and feel secure everytime she pulls out the driveway.
FEATURES: Everything works on this car except the power attena. It has power windows, locks, AC/Heat/Defrost, power mirrors, AM/FM/CD (aftermarket) and automatic transmission. I have many service records, carfax, clear title showing actual miles and many receipts.
VALUE: This is a NO RESERVE auction so you are going to set the value. I can tell you the current NADA values range from $16,500 for Low and $34,500 for high. I think this car is worth something in that range, but you are setting the price here so GOOD LUCK. See link below to get to NADA report.

Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer
Mon, 28 Jan 2013Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.
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.
Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG spied in Sweden
Wed, 16 Jan 2013We've spotted the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLA testing a couple times in recent months in getting closer to production form and shedding camouflage, but now it looks like we're see our first look at the AMG version of this compact crossover. The low ride height might trick some into thinking that we're just seeing the already-confirmed A45 AMG out testing, but the unique beltline, rear doors and side windows confirm this is some version of the GLA-Class.
What makes us so confident that this is the AMG model? Well, for starters, this prototype has beefier brakes with cross-drilled front and rear rotors and bigger front calipers, but it also sports dual exhaust outlets poking through the rear fascia and a suspension that has been lowered considerably. Our spy shooters said that this car's exhaust note made it almost certainly an AMG model.
Just to be clear, the GLA AMG will not be powered by a 4.5-liter engine. The closely related A45 AMG will carry the "45" in its name to celebrate the first 45 years of AMG, and our sources seem to indicate the AMG version of the GLA will do the same. We're expecting this sporty crossover to produce as much as 350 horsepower from its AMG-tuned four-cylinder engine, and like the all-new E63 AMG, it could very well come standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive.
