1982 Mercedes 300sd Turbo Diesel Excellent Storage Find No Reserve on 2040-cars
Edgewood, New Mexico, United States

hello,
thanks for looking at my car.....here is the story....we have a towing company here in albuquerque and got this car from a local storage unit due to non-payment from the renter. the car had been stored there for some time and its believed the owner pased away. the car was from texas. we obtained clear title for it through a towing a storage lien. the mileage on the car is 145,000 and i believe it to be accurate, but please use your own judgement. the odometer did work when i first drove it until i pushed the button to reset the trip to zero, and it never worked again. due to mew mexico law, all vehicles taken by towing and storage liens have the title stated as not actual miles. this title will reflect this.......ok, now the condition. the body on this car is AMAZING to say the least. no dents, rust, damage or anything i can find. the paint is LIKE NEW really, the chrome and paint shine like a new one. it has only a couple small nicks in the paint, one on the drivers mirror, and one near the left rear wheel well. the inside is in good shape too. the dash has some cracks from the desert heat and some of the wood too but not bad. all the rugs, door panels, headliner and things like that are in great shape. now some thing need attention as most of these old cars do. only the drivers window works. the passenger side does not do anything, and both rear doors, i think, may need window regulators. ( i can hear the motors running ). the radio lights up, and the display works but there is no sound. the clock doe not work. the tachometer does work after the car warms up. the power mirror on the right side does not work.....the other stuff like the speedometer, all other gauges, all lights, heater a/c, both power seats, wipers, horn all do work.....running condition....the car sails down the highway with good power and handles well. has almost new tires all the way around. the transmission shifts through the gears up and down and engages good with no slipping. the diesel engine is an old school diesel. it needs glow plugs to start sounds like a truck diesel, and has the usual diesel smoke. but all in all it runs like it should. all around a good solid mercedes. please look at the photos, as i dont know what more to say, only that it will sell without reserve, so if you want it, bid on it !! the car can stay here (garaged ) for up to 60 days if need be as long as its paid in full. i can help load on your trailer or transporter for you.....thank you and good luck !!!! |

Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]
Fri, 31 Jan 2014If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
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.
Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG spied in Sweden
Wed, 16 Jan 2013We've spotted the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLA testing a couple times in recent months in getting closer to production form and shedding camouflage, but now it looks like we're see our first look at the AMG version of this compact crossover. The low ride height might trick some into thinking that we're just seeing the already-confirmed A45 AMG out testing, but the unique beltline, rear doors and side windows confirm this is some version of the GLA-Class.
What makes us so confident that this is the AMG model? Well, for starters, this prototype has beefier brakes with cross-drilled front and rear rotors and bigger front calipers, but it also sports dual exhaust outlets poking through the rear fascia and a suspension that has been lowered considerably. Our spy shooters said that this car's exhaust note made it almost certainly an AMG model.
Just to be clear, the GLA AMG will not be powered by a 4.5-liter engine. The closely related A45 AMG will carry the "45" in its name to celebrate the first 45 years of AMG, and our sources seem to indicate the AMG version of the GLA will do the same. We're expecting this sporty crossover to produce as much as 350 horsepower from its AMG-tuned four-cylinder engine, and like the all-new E63 AMG, it could very well come standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive.
