1979 Mercedes-benz 300td Base Wagon 4-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
|
*** No Reserve *** For sale is a blue 1979 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Estate wagon with no accidents and all original expect stereo. This year was the first to be imported into the United States and was met with widespread acclaim. The 300TD Estate model has been hailed for its timeless design and meticulous attention to detail. The bulletproof 3.0-liter diesel engine is widely believed to be one of the most reliable engines ever built and it purrs with an intoxicating tone. This particular Benz is in perfect working order and is a prime testament to the legendary build quality attributed to this model. The blue paint is original and has developed a beautiful patina over the years. This vehicle has spent most of its life in San Antonio, Texas, a climate that has been very forgiving on the exterior, which has no obvious rust. The interior is upholstered with Mercedes’ proprietary MB-Tex material in a cream color and has no tears or any apparent discoloration. I, along with the previous owners, have meticulously maintained a complete list of all maintenance-related receipts. I recently had a diehard Benz mechanic thoroughly inspect and fine-tune the car. The motor mounts and rear exhaust hangers were both replaced. Additionally, the steering box and engine speed idle were both adjusted. Its grace and performance belie its age and it feels equipped to achieve the million-mile mark. It tackles open freeways and sleepy suburbs with equal ease. Ignition is immediate and healthy -- even in the frigid winters of Utah -- thanks to the block heater. The 3-speed automatic transmission shifts between gears effortlessly. All gauges are fully functional with the exception of the clock (which works periodically). Additionally, all electrical functions (headlights, brights, fog lights, park lights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, and windshield wipers) are in perfect working order. The disk brakes appear to be recently replaced. The suspension feels nice and tight. Recent Work: New Yokohama Avid Touring tires, Fresh oil change, New air filter, New fuel filters, Runs and drives excellent, Updated glow plugs, New motor mounts, New rear exhaust hangers and new battery. Please be aware of the following: Not a turbo, does not have a 3rd row seat and only diesel fuel has been used. There is no visible rust under the vehicle. If you’d like to see any additional photos that are not shown here (or if you have any additional questions), don’t hesitate to send me a message and I’ll be happy to accommodate. Happy bidding! |

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon is one hot hauler [w/video]
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Mentioned at the debut of the redesigned Mercedes-Benz E-Class back in January, Mercedes has finally pulled back the curtain on the E63 AMG S, which was on display at the New York Auto Show in wagon guise. The 2014 E63 AMG S ups the ante even more from a "base" E63 AMG, improving the car's performance and styling - not that it needed help with either to begin with.
Our favorite S-model upgrade is the added output tweaked out of the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, which represents a substantial gain of 27 hp and 59 lb-ft of torque over the stock E63. In wagon form, the E63 AMG S can run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. All 2014 E63 AMGs come with Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, but the S-Model adds in a limited-slip rear differential for improved performance.
Mercedes has made sure that the extra money being spent on the S-Model is instantly noticeable with slightly different design cues and black along with 10-spoke wheels with red brake calipers peeking through. Plenty of silver-chrome and high-gloss black accents finish off the exterior styling, while the interior adds Alcantara on the steering wheel, accent stitching on the leather and contrasting silver seat belts on models with the black interior. Scroll down for an official video and press release.
Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.
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.
