1973 Mercedes Benz 450se on 2040-cars
Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States

For this Mercedes, there is a lot of good with this car and a tiny bit of work needed.
Runs, starts every time, driven daily, had many new parts and only one small spot of rust by the front right headlight assembly. Some minor things and a paint job and this thing is classic car show ready! Has the 250K Kilometer badge and certificate. New.... 2 fuel injectors, new plugs, new wires, new distributor cap, new rotor, new ignition points, new condenser, replaced- trigger points, new coil, new O2 sensor, new cooling sensor, replaced throttle position sensor, new fuel filter, new oil filter, new antenna, and new battery. Runs pretty good but not perfect. Sunroof works good, and the car has power! The 450se has the D-Jetronic engine which was one the best engines of all time. Now for the current minor issues, needs a new odometer (all of the instrument cluster was unhooked when purchased as the owner was restoring), ac doesn't work, needs a new blower motor for heater and needs a new muffler, headlight cover, and though the tires have plenty of tread they should be replaced but have been driven as they are with no problem. (cracks from setting) Also the rear seat back top is cracked from sun. The front seats are ok but not perfect, also needs a new hood release and cable. It can be opened with pliers pulling the cable so the engine can be viewed and such. The hood real ease and exhaust are probably the most pressing issues. In excellent condition this car can sell for as much as $11,000 or more. Hagertys Collector car insurance will insure the car for between $6,000 and $10,000. Now for more good, It's a sweet classic Mercedes. I bought it for my son as a project and it was barely running when we got it, we did some work and a local Mercedes mechanic did some work. Son is heading off to college and can't have a car and I would rather see it finished rather than left setting again. It set for a while before we got it. He has also switched his desires. It's a great car to finish and take to shows. Will trade for a BMW R1100rt or R1200rt. |

Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo
Fri, 15 Mar 2013To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.
Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman
Fri, 25 Nov 2011According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
Mercedes-Benz introduces new heavy security M-Class Guard model
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new addition to the company's line of personal security vehicles. The M-Class Guard features bullet-proof side windows made with special laminated glazing and a polycarbonate inner layer to protect occupants from shards of glass. Mercedes says the M-Class Guard meets protection level VR4 according to the Bullet Resistant Vehicles 2009 standards, based on testing from the independent Ulm-based Ballistics Bureau, which means it can withstand .357 Magnum and .44 fire from multiple angles. It can also stand up to the DM51 hand grenade when equipped with optional floor armoring. Why skimp?
Buyers looking for protection from the world's literal slings and arrows can opt for the ML350 BlueTEC with its 258 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. With 457 pound-feet of torque, the oil-burner should have no trouble hustling the privileged class about. Of course, the ML500 offers a bit more punch courtesy of a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Prices start at 105,050 euros for the diesel and 118,650 euros for the V8. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
