1959 Mercedes 220 on 2040-cars
Billings, Montana, United States
|
1959 Mercedes 220S 4 door sedan. This car was owned by a Mercedes mechanical shop owner of 40 years, that is selling the car due to health reasons. The car has been maintained mechanically for the 20 plus years of ownership and drives well. I drove the car for 300 miles this last weekend with 38 miles cruising down a highway at 80 MPH at 4K RPM. The car drives solid with no loose steering or suspension around corners with no rattles. The car will start right away with the choke needed during the winter cold startup and runs smoothly after warmed up on the highway. The car had new leather seats, carpet, paint job, body weather stripping/seals and wood work done in 1989. Works; speedometer, clock, windshield wipers, headlights, blinkers, backup lights, dash lights, radio, interior lights, lighter, fuel gauge. Does not work; Horn. Can not figure how to work, heater? The car has come out of 7 year storage and runs pretty good considering the old fuel. Car comes with tire jack, lug wrench, spare wheel and tire. The plastic front interior center console cover is original and has a hole and crack on the passenger side. The breaks system works well with the exception of the pedal needing to be pumped twice in the first day drive. The body shows no rust under the car, in the wheel wells or on the body. The paint could use a buff to clean the film off from sitting in the shop. My friend wants to sell his shop of 30 plus years parts of 190 sedan and 220 (1956-54), starters, generators, distributors, fuel injections, engines, transmissions, drive shafts, body and much more. The car can be used as a daily driver. |

Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson 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.
Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.
