Hello Bidders, 
         The story behind this 1963 beauty Mercedes-Benz 300SE coupe is amazing. This car was purchased in Germany by an elderly man (Leonard P.) who retired from Eli Lilly in Indianapolis, IN. in 1980. Leonard the 2nd owner of this car was visiting his family during the early part of the summer of 1980 in North Germany when he decided to purchase this car in Lohne, Germany and had it shipped to New York city on August 12, 1980. The shipping company Kuehne & Nagel was the carrier. The car was picked up in New York by Leonard and driven back to Indianapolis, IN. When Leonard owned the car it was driven during warm seasons only and put away during the winter months. After Leonard retired from Eli Lilly he purchased a house in Panama City, FL. he took his beauty Benz with him. He drove the car as daily driver while enjoying his retirement. During the late 1990's Leonard had some health issues and the car sat in his garage covered for about 7-8 years. During that time the car began to need some minor attention and that's when Leonard was ready to sell her In 2009. I bought the car as the 3rd owner and began the "mini" restoration project. I had the car shipped back to Indiana where I heard about this car from a dear friend. (Leonard's sister in-law). Each year I have done a little work to get this car back on ALL 4 legs as a classic summer driver for myself.
      Since owning the beauty Benz I allowed my busy life of work and family to prevent me from enjoying this car. As the owner of a busy seasonal pool business during the summer and the father of 4 kids the car began to sit around and was an after thought for me. Since we added our fourth child this year my hobby and passion to finish the few things on this beauty Benz has taken a back seat. Below is all the helpful information to allow you to see what has been done to the car since I owned it and what still needs to be done to make this car 100%. Blessed Bidding!

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.

Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA gets official ahead of Shanghai

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

Mercedes-Benz has something special planned for the Shanghai Motor Show - a new CUV concept that we first saw when it leaked on the internet yesterday. The GLA Concept compact crossover will hit the show stand with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque mated to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive, and likely previews a new production model that we've already spotted testing.
That's not news, but the laser-based headlamps with video-projecting capability certainly are. Mercedes-Benz says the array can project any image or video onto a screen, which is handy since there are a pair of HD cameras mounted to the roof rack. The cameras can be removed and taken with you on all sorts of adventures. The lamps also feature a visible cooling system comprised of a series of fans, and the system helps give the headlights their "sparkle" effect.
Step indoors and the GLA offers up the interior of a high-quality crossover, complete with contrasting leather and plenty of aluminum. The automaker says the cabin was inspired by saddle craftsmanship with "more than 65 feet of hand-stitched seams to hold the raw edges of the leather together."

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
