1968 Mercedes-benz 200-series on 2040-cars
Zenia, California, United States
For Sale by Owner is an extremely rare, unrestored, extremely low mileage totally original and unmolested 1968
Mercedes Benz 230S Heckflosse Sedan. This is the last year of the sought after Heckflosse or "Fintail" sedans. It
is my understanding that Mercedes intended to end production of the Heckflosse sedans in 1967 but had a few frames
and body panels left over and had a very limited production of 62 cars produced world-wide in 1968. This
particular car was sold new by European Motors on Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco. The original owner took
deliver of the car in Milan in September, 1967. I have all the original invoices including the European Delivery
Order, the dealer's invoice, the bill of sale from the Mercedes Factory data cards and stamps. This car has never
left California, comes with its original black plates and current registration and is totally rust free. To the
best of my knowledge and experts who have looked at it, all the body panels are original. Please take a look at
the pictures, they speak for themselves. This is a radio delete car, 4 speed full synchro manual transmission on
the column. All gauges work as they should including the clock and the cigarette lighter. The car cruises easily
at 60 - 65 mph and stops very well. It is currently located in Laguna Beach California, is always garaged and
needs nothing. I have driven it up Highway 1 to Santa Barbara a couple of times. It does not smoke or leak any
fluids and idles like a new car, starts on the first turn without fail. I do not have documentation on mileage but
have been advised by experts that it is accurate. Tires are excellent, have original jack, original seat belts in
the back and he front. I believe the spare to be original, all other tires are nearly new. I have a picture of
the runk included with the original liner removed. Can be seen by appointment.
This car has never been restored, it is original, all lenses are original, chrome is outstanding and I believe my
asking price accurately reflects the condition of this rare sedan. Cars are only new once and this is as close to
an original Heckflosse that I have ever seen. There may be other out there, I just haven't seen them. I have seen
restored Heckflosse sedans in Monterey during car week with 6 figure asking prices. Although a beautifully
restored, expensive and stunning, I prefer original unmolested well cared for cars

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe
Thu, 31 Jan 2013
Mercedes-Benz upgraded its SLS flagship Coupe and Roadster for the 2013 model year, and the changes are marked with them new "GT" nomenclature. Both SLS models arrive with a retuned naturally aspired 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque (the horses are up from 563, but the torque remains the same) mated to a revised seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch gearbox. Rounding out the mechanical upgrades is a redeveloped AMG two-mode adaptive suspension. Physically, the revised models are differentiated by their new "GT" badging, darkened headlight/taillight buckets, red brake calipers, unique wheel colors and high gloss finish on the front grille, exterior mirrors and hood/fender fins. Inside the cabin are new red seatbelts, Alcantara upholstery and contrasting red stitching.
As it is nearly impossible to experience the aluminum gullwing beast on public roads, Mercedes invited out to Southern California's Willow Springs to wring out the 2013 SLS GT Coupe on a racing circuit.
Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid
Tue, 16 Sep 2014You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."
