History This has always been a rust-free California car. I purchased the car about 5 years ago from the 2nd owner, and over time I restored the car. Everything on the car had been completely gone thru prior to the fire. The list of things I did is extensive and it pains me to list everything, but here is a brief summary. I have a 3-ring binder full of receipts (including the original receipt from Barry Taylor Enterprises where the AMG WIDEBODY conversion was done) and I'm sure I'm forgetting some things Exterior *New 040 black paint and body *Newly refurbished AMG 5 spoke road wheels *NOS Lorinser / Sebring muffler *New BFG GForce Sport tires (sized to correct / original AMG spec) Interior *Custom AMG-Style door cards with grey gen2 inserts into black door panels *Completely refinished all wood trim (by Madera Concepts in Goleta, CA) *Refurbished speedometer cluster with genuine gray-face AMG speedometer *Mint black crack-free dash *New headliner *New package tray / hat shelf *New Alpine head unit, new speakers Mechanical *Rebuilt transmission *Installed 2.82 rear differential *Installed OEM Tri-Y headers *Plenty of work was also done on the engine (all by Enrique at MR MB Motors) but with the fire that may or may not mean anything going forward __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ These issues will need to be addressed -- Mechanical -- New wiring harness How much of the engine is salvageable is unknown, but assume everything that bolts on will need to be replaced. It had a strong-running stock 5.0L, now would be a good time to drop in that 5.4L!! Cosmetic -- Most everything from the firewall forward, with the exception of the front bumper, AMG front spoiler and possibly the passenger side widebody fender. It will also need a new windshield. My plan was to buy a gen1 euro parts car, source most of the missing bits, and go from there. But plans have changed... Asking $10K. Reasonable offers will be considered. I am NOT looking to part the car out at this time so PLEASE do not ask. It is in storage, inside, in SoCal if you want to see it in person. However, it's not around the corner from me so I can't take pics of every nook and cranny. The car rolls and stops but doesn't run NOTE: ALL PHOTOS HERE ARE OF THE ACTUAL VEHICLE. *I have included photos of the restoration, including the interior and all the paint and bodywork. *I have included photos of after the restoration, complete interior and exterior. *I have included photos of the fire damage. The car sits as it looks in the fire damage photos, though I have removed the hood for safety. It still is minty from the firewall back The TRUE Euro VIN for this vehicle is WDB12604412000356. eBay will not accept this actual Euro-VIN so I inputted a VIN from a 1988 US-spec 560SEC to complete the listing. Please check my 100% feedback and bid with confidence. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have via eBay, email or you can call me at 818-749-7764 |

Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
Mercedes mulling Renault-based entry-level X-Class?
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Somewhere in between the Smart brand and the all-new A-Class (pictured above), Daimler is said to be readying a smaller entry-level product for the Mercedes-Benz brand to compete with models like the Audi A1. According to AutoBild, Mercedes-Benz will get a new hatchback based on a platform from its recent partnership with Renault-Nissan, and it could be called the X-Class.
Expected to debut by 2018, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class could be offered in sedan, hatchback and crossover variants, and it would likely have a starting price below the $20,000-euro mark. Power would come from either a 1.0-liter inline three-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter inline-four, and the car would likely be built in a low-cost nation in order to make the financials work. Wearing the Mercedes-Benz name, the X-Class would have to exhibit more distinguishable luxury and styling to set itself apart from the models that helped provide its underpinnings.
Mercedes testing C-Class plug-in hybrid modes in Germany
Wed, 07 May 2014Testing appears to be underway for what would be the first Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a hybrid powertrain. We can see a pair of the prototypes undergoing testing in Germany, with one, a C-Class Wagon, still heavily clad in camouflage and featuring a more noticeable outlet on the passenger side of its rear bumper.
There's also a more production-looking sedan, which features a not-so-discreet flap over its rear-bumper outlet. It's difficult to speculate on power outputs for this fuel-sipping C-Class, although our spies seem to think that this car will feature some combination of a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor, although just which four is unclear (note, we wouldn't mind if MB fit its 2.0-liter turbo with some batteries and motors). Regardless, the four-pot/electric motor seems like a pretty reasonable combo, although it probably means that Mercedes won't be challenging the six-cylinder-powered system of the BMW ActiveHybrid3 any time soon.
When the plug-in C-Class arrives later this year as a 2015 model, it will likely offer a full range of driving modes, including both gas or electric, only, as well as a more traditional hybrid mode.
