Hello, I am selling a 1973 Mercedes Benz 280 c 2 door coupe with 26,084 miles on it. This car has recently been restored to its original charm. Luckily, we had a good base to work with. This car has a 114 body style that is considered to be one of Mercedes’ finest and most desirable. It is no wonder that the car is a stand out that will make your neighbors heads turn. The color adds to the car’s character and appeal as well. The baby blue color is a color that just isn’t made anymore but one that was originally typical to this car. The car was recently received a $4,000 paint job so while it looks fresh, new and clean, we were able to maintain the character by keeping the traditional coloring. The seats have also been recovered,the brake system has been redone, the ignition system was upgraded to make it an electronic ignition, and much more has been done. The objective in restoring the car was to put it in good working condition while maintaining the style and character.The 280c is a joy to drive. It runs great with a sports car feel and it shifts with ease. We have all the originals manuals and all documentation of the restoration from our ownership will be given with the sale. $16,000 dollars were spent on the restoration alone so this is a steal. The only minor issues that we have come across are tiny crack. in the windshield that has been drilled and filled to prevent the crack from increasing and a minor problem with the carburetor. The carburetor was rebuilt in 2007 and with a little TLC it can be easily addressed. On that note, I have a spare solex 4A1 4 barrel carburetor that will be included in the sale to make sure that there are absolutely no issues. With all of that being said the car still runs great as is but these small repairs would enhance this prized possession. The vin number is available upon request. We would be happy to answer any questions you have and wish to hope you a happy bidding.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class
Mon, 18 Mar 2013
The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
