1970 Mercedes Benz 300sel 3.5 Rare Sunroof Excellent, Well Sorted Survivor 3.5! on 2040-cars
Daytona Beach, Florida, United States
1970 Mercedes Benz 300SEL 3.5 This 3.5 is a great survivor car that has not been restored but rather has been lovingly maintained and serviced over the years. It was originally sold, on June 15, 1970, in Salem, Oregon to LM Hill, Inc. I purchased the 3.5 last year from a gentlemen in Oregon who regularly drove the car and performed extensive service on the car, see pics of invoices. The most important aspect of any w109 Mercedes is the air suspension. This 3.5 has sat for over a month without any leak down of the suspension. This is virtually unheard of; I have no concerns about the air suspension. The 3.5 engine starts right up and runs well. It has been extensively serviced, see pics of invoices. Transmission Shifts Smoothly. The 3.5 Brakes Properly and Straight. The Rare and Desirable Sunroof works great, See Video! The A/C has been converted to R134, see invoice, and blows cold! The Original Becker Radio works! Original Books and Warranty Plate! Excellent 3 Point Retractable Seat Belts Up Front and Kangols in the Rear! New Alternator and Battery! All lights, interior and exterior, work properly. Heater levers were replaced and work properly. Windows go up and down and vacuum door lock system works. Glass is all in great condition and the chrome and stainless trim present well! Original, Solid and Dry Undercarriage and Jack Points! Lovely 2 Tone Color Code 717G Papyrus White Body and 124G Arabian Grey Roof over Red Interior. Obviously, the car has the occasional nick or scratch on what appears to be the first respray. It is not a restored 3.5, but a nice well-maintained turn key 3.5. There is very little work-wise I suggest if one only wants a driver. However, I would suggest budgeting for certain repairs that you may deem necessary, for example replacement of the steering coupling (~$200) and any other items that are not necessary to drive the car as-is but would increase your enjoyment of this lovely 3.5. WE HAVE OTHER CLASSIC MERCEDES AVAILABLE! I can assist with shipping worldwide (major European Ports $1,250-$1,500) . I will deliver to Jacksonville, FL Port for $200 or Miami Port for $325.

Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer
Mon, 28 Jan 2013Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.
Daimler buying 12% stake in Beijing Auto
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Daimler and Beijing Automotive are officially going steady, with the German company set to take a 12-percent stake in the Chinese brand tomorrow. The two are already tied up in a Mercedes engine plant in Beijing, of which BAIC will increase its stake in, from 50 to 51 percent. Daimler will also get two seats on the Chinese company's board. BAIC may also gain the ability to produce cars on Mercedes-Benz platforms, according to Automotive News Europe.
The investment in BAIC comes ahead of that company's initial public offering, according to a report form Bloomberg, which indicates the deal will be inked tomorrow in the Chinese capital. According to the report, if the circumstances are right, BAIC may turn around and invest in the Germany company "soon."
It's not entirely clear just how much the 12-percent cut is costing Daimler, although it seems reasonable to assume that, as it's ahead of the IPO, the parent company of Mercedes is getting a bit of a bargain.
Daimler names Bernd Pischetsrieder to supervisory board
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Some executives in the automotive industry stay with one company for their entire careers, while others bounce from one to the other, often leaving their indelible mark on each automaker at which they serve. Bob Lutz is certainly an example of the latter. So is Lee Iacocca, having presided over Ford and later charing the Chrysler board. Carlos Tavares was chief operating officer of Renault before being nominated as chief executive at PSA Peugeot Citroën. But as far as the Germans go, nobody's jumped from the leadership of one automaker to the next quite like Bernd Pischetsrieder - especially now that he's been named to the supervisory board of Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler.
An engineer by training, Pischetsrieder started his career at BMW in 1973, eventually rising to the office of CEO after twenty years. There he remained until 1999, only to be dismissed after orchestrating BMW's takeover of the Rover Group (of which only the Mini brand remains in the company's portfolio, the other brands having been sold off after his dismissal).
The next year he was named chairman of Volkswagen's Seat brand, and rose to the chairmanship of the entire Volkswagen Group two years later. Despite a largely successful four-year tenure (that gave birth, incidentally, to the Bugatti Veyron), disagreements with supervisory board chairman Ferdinand Piëch saw him leave the helm at VW AG, focusing his attention on the Scania truck division. He's since been touted as a potential chief executive for Opel and for Continental, but neither potential was apparently realized.
