Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
|
1985 Mercedes Benz 380 SL (W107), low miles, very rare and striking color combination of gold metallic exterior with palomino interior. 56,600 miles (less than 2,000 per year). This car has been babied all its life and it shows and drives as a 2-3 year old car. It is in very good to excellent condition throughout. Truly an exceptional car which can only be described as very elegant. She gets compliments every time she is taken out, Valets and car wash employees cannot believe the condition of the car. Driven only by meticulous Mercedes Benz club female. The car has always been maintained to a high level and has receipts for work done over the years to maintain her in top notch condition. Within the past 2,500 miles she has had the following work done: Complete Valve Job New valve cover seals New timing chain, rails and tensioner New coolant/antifreeze New thermostat & bypass hose New shifter bushings New hydraulic compensators New Accelerator bushings Tune up including new ignition wires New fuel accumulator New distributor cap & rotor New Exhaust hangers New battery New Brake pads & rotors front & rear New Soft top seals New A/C compressor, dryer & switches New Heater control valve New radiator hoses & cooler lines New motor mounts Radiator flush New transmission pan & seal New rear shocks Within the past two years maintenance receipts total over $11,000. If you know these cars you know that they are increasing in value rapidly as collector items. This particular car is exemplary; its condition, low miles and open checkbook maintenance make it an excellent investment. Don’t spend $12,000 to $14,000 for a “good” example and then have to spend thousands for work that this car has already had completed. The air conditioning blows ice cold and the heat functions as it should. The interior and trunk are in excellent condition, with no wear showing on the pedals or steering wheel, all power options work as they should (including the power antenna). The carpets show as new and the seats are soft and supple leather with no tears or rips. The door panels are in excellent condition, the dash is in excellent shape with no cracks or blemishes, as is the steering wheel. The palomino interior is very clean and the color is striking. The trunk shows as new, there are absolutely no stains on the palomino carpet in the trunk, evidence of the care this car has received over the years. The car has always been garaged and there is no sun fading on the interior, the chrome is in very good condition, and all glass is in excellent condition as is the original chocolate brown soft top, with the plastic windows being clear. This has always been a Western U.S. car and there is no body or underside rust, and never has been. The wheel wells and engine bay are very clean. The paint is original and very glossy, with no parking lot dings or dents. The paint can best be described as a good 1 to 2 footer, there are minor imperfections that are not evident until you are 1 to 2 feet away, considering it is the original paint it is in incredible condition. The Chrome Spoke Wire Wheels (Zenith Wire Wheel Company, original cost $2000) are in very good condition. “Goldie” as we call her, is a joy to drive and exhibit to other Mercedes-Benz and Classic Car enthusiasts. Her presence will be missed at our Mercedes Benz Club meets and she is only being sold to make additional garage space, we will be sad to see her go. Hagerty Classic Car place the value on this car at $28,200 to $20,200, representing a condition 1 to 2, this car is a strong 2. Nada Value on the vehicle is $24,400 to $36,100, based on average retail to high retail selling price. With proper care and maintenance, you should be able to enjoy her for many years and see her value appreciate. We have her clear title on hand for transfer to the new owner. Goldie has A/C. Power Steering, Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Power Brakes, Cruise Control, AM/FM Stereo and Cassette Player. Additional equipped with Premium Wheels, ABS brakes (4 wheel), V8 3.8 Liter, RWD, Original Owner’s Manual and First Aid Kit. The tires have excellent tread but should be replaced owing to age. If you have interest in this beautiful collectible car please feel free to contact me, all offers will be considered. Thank you. |

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.
Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]
Sat, 23 Feb 2013Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.
Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
