The Toy Barn of Dublin Presents:

1983 Mercedes 380SL

The Toy Barn is thrilled to offer this absolutely beautiful 1983 Mercedes 380SL, in stunning original condition, and ready for it's new owner! This roadster is simply gorgeous, and was a recent trade-in here at our store out of a private collection, towards a new 911. This is a fantastic example indeed, and a great opportunity for someone looking for a fully documented and meticulously kept, low-mileage Mercedes. We have a full 3-ring binder with loaded with receipts, ownership history, maintenance records, and items of interest including an original 1983 Mercedes brochure. I have not had a more comprehensive ensemble of history and information on a vintage Mercedes like this. From 40k miles to 45k miles, there was over $7,600 in parts and labor spent; TOO MANY DETAILS TO LIST!!! The previous owner was very meticulous, and upgraded or replaced anything he saw fit. Not only that, but he also collected spare parts and put together a "spares kit" of replacement parts to pass along to the next owner.

Condition wise, this SL is absolutely beautiful. The Anthracite Grey finish is beautiful, with only light wear evident, no damage or major blemishes that take away from it's stunning appearance. The original Mercedes wheels were replaced with NEW chrome OEM wheels, which are in excellent condition; no curb rash or damage. The tires are like new, still have ample tread remaining as well, and overall the exterior of this Mercedes is fantastic. Inside, the Grey leather interior looks excellent, as pictured below. There are no major blemishes or signs of wear, and overall this is one of the finest interiors I've seen on a droptop Mercedes of this age. The top is in excellent condition as well and was recently replaced. Out on the road, the car runs, drives, and feels awesome. We just serviced it here at our Performance Center, and I'd be glad to provide any information to help answer questions for you.

This is a get-in-and-go Mercedes, ready for the shows, the street, or the collection. Though in stunning condition, this is of course a 30+ year old car, as I'm sure you understand. There are a few various imperfections upon close scrutiny, but overall it is absolutely gorgeous. It is being sold as-is. CALL ME FOR MORE DETAILS!!!

This 380SL will be sold and include the following:

Full ownership history
Full Service documentation
Several Miscellaneous extras
Original Brochure
Hard Top
MUCH MORE!

Check out the pictures below, be sure and allow time for them to load!

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.

Brabus to storm Geneva with 800-hp version of Mercedes SL65 AMG

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

At no point during our recent drive of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG did we ever think, "You know, this thing sure is slow." After all, Merc's range-topping SL comes fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 capable of sending 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. But just in case you're still all "meh" about what the SL65 throws down, Brabus will gladly come to your rescue with this, the 800 Roadster.
As its name suggests, the 800 Roadster ups the V12's power figures to 800 horsepower and - wait for it - 1,047 pound-feet of torque. Don't get too excited, though - that torque number has been electronically limited to a measly 811 lb-ft since, you know, the transmission would probably explode if you tried to put the full force through it. Nevertheless, these represent increases of 79 hp and 73 lb-ft over the standard SL65, and that means the 800 Roadster can shoot to 62 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds - two-tenths of a second quicker than the Merc its based on. More impressively, hitting 124 mph takes just under 10 seconds, and the droptop will finally top out at an electronically limited - limited! - 217 mph. Holy smokes.
To manage all of that speed, Brabus has engineered a special carbon fiber aero kit that reduces lift, and a unique control module for the SL65's active body control suspension lowers the ride height by one full inch. The 800 Roadster rides on new 20-inch wheels, and a unique limited-slip rear differential was added, featuring a 40 percent locking rate that further enhances performance when you're attempting to control the beast at its limits. Interior upgrades include new leather and alcantara surfaces throughout the cabin, including a leather-clad trunk.

Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
