In March 1962, Mercedes-Benz released the two-door W111 Coupe. This car was different from the four door "fintail's" of it's time. This car was considered the new flagship luxury sports model and was immediately dubbed "the gentleman's coupe". As years went on, it was the preferred vehicle the car of choice of the discriminating foreigner and most Hollywood elite's.

In summer of 1965 Mercedes-Benz launched its new replacements for both W111 and W112 sedans. In a bizarre twist of fate, this car's design was based on the W111 coupe, but widened and squared off, as the fintail fashion was quickly eroding by the mid 1960s. Design work on a future new chassis that would fully replace the Ponton-derivatives which both W111/W112 and W108/W109 were, was well under way (the concept car of the first S-class was shown in 1967). Given these two facts, Daimler did not develop a W108/W109 two-door vehicle at all and continued production of the W111/W112. However both models were modernized; the 220SE was superseded in early autumn by the 250SE which featured the new 2496 cm M129 engine, producing 150 horsepower (110 kW) at 5500 rpm, which gave it a significant improvement in top speed, 193 km/h (120 mph) (188 km/h (117 mph) on auto), and 0–100 km/h acceleration 12 seconds (14 on auto). Visibly the changes only affected the new 14-inch rims with new hub cabs and beauty rings; this was to accommodate the larger disk brakes and the new rear axle from the W108 family.

In November 1967, the 250SE was superseded by the new 1968 model 280SE. The new M130 engine had 2778 cubic centimeters volume, and output 160 hp (120 kW) at 5500 rpm. Top speed was hardly affected, the acceleration though improved to 10.5 seconds (13 on auto). Inside the car received a wood veneer option on the dashboard and other minor changes including door lock buttons and different heater levers.

I bought this car in Modesto California in 2009. It came out of a 20 year storage. I was going to restore it with my young nephew and he has abandoned the project. This particular car is a 1967 250SE Coupe and has every available option Mercedes had available including the following:

  • Power Windows
  • Power Sunroof
  • Air- Conditioning
  • Automatic Transmission

Also, this particular car has the very rare and desirable 300SE (W112) chrome trim. Since the car is a European model, it also has the rear fog lamp and the "automatic" transmission emblem on the rear deck lid.

What is not original to this car is the engine. It was professionally converted 30 years ago with a small block Chevrolet V8. I do have a European 1967 250SE sedan with the correct 6 cylinder fuel injected drivetrain if you are interested in taking this car back to it's original condition. This sedan parts car can be purchased separately and I will discuss this with anyone who is interested in the package. Also, I do have a VERY, VERY RARE W111 front and rear bucket seat interior (pics available) that I can sell separately that would make this car so unique and special. Both of these items are available outside of this auction.

The car does have some rust. I can see it in the rear trunk wells and in the front bumper support. I do have the grille, fuel tank, all the 300SE chrome trim. It will need one bucket seat and a front bumper. I can get you these parts from my parts car at an additional cost. This car does run. The fuel tank has been removed and cleaned and is ready to re-install, but you will need a fuel pump. The V8 engine has a new carburetor and is ready for you to finish servicing OR go back to original and replace with to correct motor that I mentioned above. I can do that for you if you would like the car ready to ship with all the correct Mercedes Benz parts. An additional expense will be required to do that work. I can assist with any shipping needs to your overseas port of entry.

Please note, this auction is just for the car pictured. Please call me at 817-715-6163 to discuss your needs and we will talk about the additional items I mentioned above. I reserve the right to sell them as a package with the car, but they ARE NOT listed as part of this auction.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class caught totally undisguised

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Based on the lightly camouflaged spy shots of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class we've seen lately, it hasn't taken a vivid imagination to picture what the next iteration of this big luxury sedan will look like. Even so, we now we have our first unobstructed views of the redesigned S-Class, codenamed W222, as it has just been caught out flaunting for some promo shots.
The first thing we notice about the new S-Class design is the disappearance of the last generation's flared wheel arches. Yet the new design adds even more character with bodyside creases similar to the CLS-Class and some elements reminiscent of 2007's F700 Concept, including the massive grille and vertical LED taillights. Other key details include a large panoramic roof and the narrow exhaust outlets, but the large LED-trimmed headlights and the aggressive front fascia are probably the biggest departure from the current design. With these spy shots, we also catch a blurry shot of the interior, but we've seen a practically uncovered look at the new S-Class' cabin back in January.
Overall, the next S-Class sports an expressive and premium new look, but as far as all-new designs go, it's quite conservative - a move no doubt fitting for these lean financial times.

Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

It 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.

2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
