Selling one of the best original condition cars I have ever owned. This is a 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SE sedan.(Chassis Code W116.032) This is the last year of the desireable chrome bumpers (which are perfect). It is a 3 owner car, originally from Nevada. The last two owners were father / son and had the car for 35 years (always garaged) and you will be able to tell when you see it. The orginal owner was their friend, who was a physician and owned the car for only a few years. It has always been serviced per manufacture guidelines. Everything is original on the car, except the updated Blaupunkt stereo system. The car has absolutely no rust on it. The paint is absolutely beautiful, with only a few minor imperfections (a small dime size dent around the rear bumper molding, some tiny bug chips on the front grill area and one thin/light scratch a couple inches long at the bottom of the driver door. The headliner is perfect with no sagging. The seats are MB tex and only a tiny tear on the driver seat. They still have that distinctive German smell, and those that know German cars, know exactly what I mean...love it! We do have a lambskin cover on the driver seat, for comfort. The floor mats are doubled in all areas and the originals are on the bottom and super clean! PLEASE SEE MY PHOTOBUCKET LINK: I have over 70 pictures of the car in here. If you need more, I can upload more.

The engine bay is immaculate (see pictures). Brand new spark plugs & wires. New Battery with warranty. The chrome on this car is PERFECT! The dash has a small / thin crack (about 2 inches) but otherwise is perfect (again...see pix). We do have a new dash cover over it to protect. All the instruments / gauges work, except the clock does not keep accurate time.
Car runs and shifts as it should and cruises very well down the freeway. Does not smoke, does not burn oil. A/C and Heat work well. This is awesome luxury. It will get you wherever you need to go, with confidence. Power windows all work (the front ones are a little slow, compared to the rear). Power antennna works perfectly. Floor pan, trunk pan, undercarriage are all great, with no rust at all. Brakes are strong. Tires are basically brand new with full tread (Pirelli P70's). Also comes with 2 new Michelin snow tires (I know you'll ask why...came from Nebraska & Nevada...I see no evidence of salt corrosion or rust) Even the hub caps are gorgeous!
The sun visors have some sun damage to them but remain tight and it is the side that faces the roof, so not a big deal. All the seals and gaskets are solid. I have not even noticed a drip of oil or fluids on the garage floor. Comes with original tool kit and jack. The gaps are perfect on the car, as they were from the show room floor. The car has never been wrecked and there is no body work done. This thing must have 500 lbs of paint on it...this kind of quality is not seen in today's cars. And the paint is phenomenal on this car. The doors are tight and when you shut them, you know this is a true Merecedes classic. The vacuum locks all work.
It is hard to find much wrong with this car, and I know whoever purchases it will be pleased. Please not that this car does not come with a warranty and is SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS. I will assist with coordinating shippers both domestic and internationally, if needed, but all shipping fees are at the buyer's expense.

Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details
Mon, 06 May 2013Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.
Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class caught totally undisguised
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Based on the lightly camouflaged spy shots of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class we've seen lately, it hasn't taken a vivid imagination to picture what the next iteration of this big luxury sedan will look like. Even so, we now we have our first unobstructed views of the redesigned S-Class, codenamed W222, as it has just been caught out flaunting for some promo shots.
The first thing we notice about the new S-Class design is the disappearance of the last generation's flared wheel arches. Yet the new design adds even more character with bodyside creases similar to the CLS-Class and some elements reminiscent of 2007's F700 Concept, including the massive grille and vertical LED taillights. Other key details include a large panoramic roof and the narrow exhaust outlets, but the large LED-trimmed headlights and the aggressive front fascia are probably the biggest departure from the current design. With these spy shots, we also catch a blurry shot of the interior, but we've seen a practically uncovered look at the new S-Class' cabin back in January.
Overall, the next S-Class sports an expressive and premium new look, but as far as all-new designs go, it's quite conservative - a move no doubt fitting for these lean financial times.
