This is a no reserve auction. Vehicle will be sold to the high bidder. From what I can determine from owners manuals & repair receipts this vehicle spent most of it's life in California. Then about 6 years in Florida. Last 2 years garaged in Virginia. In my opinion, the vehicle is an excellent candidate for restoration, certainly better than a parts car. I have no particular knowledge of Mercedes especially one of this age. If you need additional information email me through Ebay with your phone number so I can call with the information. The mileage showing on the odometer & title is 59,602. I am sure that is 159,602 as the odometer only shows 5 digits. I have been all over the body with a magnet & find no evidence of bondo or repairs. The body & chrome are 99% rust free. The only rust found was in the engine compartment particularly on the air cleaner metal cover. All the lights work & the lenses are in tack. Receipt for a complete exhaust system in 2011. When I looked under the vehicle all of the exhaust appeared new. Vehicle starts easily but smokes. I believe one of the possible causes may that the oil level shown on the dip stick is considerably more than the marks indicate is required. I have not driven it any distance only enough to determine the transmission seems to work properly & the brakes work. The driver side door when closed will not latch, it did latch but inexplicably quit working. the radio works a Becker Europa. There is a Becker Olympia Stereo Cassette player in the glove compartment. I do not know if it works as I do not have a cassette tape. Windshield wipers work at both speeds. The driver power window & front passenger window do not work. The motor can be heard running but there is no movement of the glass. The paint is faded & has spider webs. (see pics). Tires are 90%. All of the wood trim is in good condition except about 8 inches of piece between the dash & the wind shield. Vehicle is being sold as is & will require pick up in Waynesboro, Va. $500 immediate Paypal required at the end of the auction. Balance due in cash or wire in 3days.

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
Watch Schumacher's hot lap of N"urburgring in Mercedes F1 car
Fri, 31 May 2013In advance of the Nürburgring 24-hour race last weekend, Mercedes-Benz put on a demonstration that had Michael Schumacher playing catch-up in a Formula One car against four examples of AMG metal. There were four cars sent off in staggered starts before Schumacher: an A45 AMG, E63 AMG 4Matic, SLS AMG Black Series, and an SLS AMG GT3 car. "Mr. Formula One," as the German television commentators call him, left three minutes after the SLS AMG GT3.
There are two videos of Schumacher's lap, the first is on-board footage - and even though there were several GoPros on the car the POV never cuts away from the front wing. You can hear the throttle and tell he's not pushing it, you can also tell how bumpy the track is. The second video is footage from the German Sport1 channel - with commentary in German - that shows all the cars taking off and takes the aerial view of proceedings. He looks to be going a lot faster in that one. You can compare and contrast yourself with the videos below.
Oh, and it's worth noting that, even with the likely restricted car, and the made-for-TV environment, Schumi turned in a quick lap. The nose camera shows the F1 car start to slow down on the back straight, near the start/finish line, right around the modern-length track record time of six minutes and eleven seconds.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale
Fri, 10 May 2013There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.
