You are bidding on a 1978 Mercedes 450 SEL. This is essentially a one owner car. I am listing for a friend of mine. His mother bought this car new in 1978 from Carson-Petit Mercedes Benz in West Chester PA. She passed away in 1984 and the car has been stored either under cover in summer or in a garage/barn in winter months. This car is in unbelievable condition. The car has the typical or normal patina for a car that is 35 years old. It shows some fading on the trunk lid but overall I consider it in very good condition. One or two small dings on the entire car. The body is straight and the car has no rust. The speedometer was replaced by a local repair shop when the car was about 64k miles. We are guessing the car is somewhere in the low 70k range at this time. It runs great and has been on the road this summer traveling more than 125 miles. The front seats have dry rotted a bit but driver's side has sheepskin cover. The dash and gauges are near perfect. NO cracks in the dash. I noticed a small leak in the exhaust/muffler. Not a bad leak but it is there. The car stops great and steers great. Tires are good. Radio works sometimes. OK here is my opinion, like it or not. You can drive this car and enjoy it. You can restore it to new condition or you can part it out. (by the way, this is a perfect candidate for a restoration) If I was able I would restore it myself.. This is a very very solid SEL . Rarely will you see an unrestored 78 in this condition. We are setting the reserve at what I consider "buyer friendly". This is a great one owner car. The owner is loosing his inside storage and has decided to sell. That's it. No more no less. Any questions please call at a reasonable hour and I will try and answer. Karl 610-368-3673

Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
Mercedes releases 6x6 G63 AMG specs and pics [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has finally dropped full details on its insane G63 AMG 6x6. The machine puts 544 horsepower to all six wheels thanks to a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8. A seven-speed gearbox shuttles power to the ground via three sets of portal axles, which helps give this machine a full 15.75 inches of ground clearance. By comparison, the standard G63 AMG sits with just 8.27 inches of ground clearance. The extra lift allows this 6x6 to ford nearly 40 inches of water and run massive 37-inch tires. All told, there are five differential locks on this thing, all controlled by a special "locking logic" that provides the best traction possible for any given situation.
The controls offer up three stages of locking, which we can only assume range from JKLOL to OMGWTF. Right now, AMG says this monstrosity is only a show vehicle, but we imagine it wouldn't take much to convince the team to whip up one of your very own. Check out our full gallery and the press release below for all the nitty gritty. While you're down there, you can also check out the video on the machine one more time.
Russia gives its Olympic medalists new Mercedes
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Russian medalists at the recently concluded Sochi Winter Olympics are being rewarded quite handsomely for their service to the Motherland. In addition to the $120,000 being handed out for each gold medal, the $76,000 being awarded for slivers and $52,000 given to bronze winners, now word has come out that each of Russia's medalists will be gifted a new Mercedes-Benz.
As with the prize amounts, the type of Mercedes offered was based on what sort of medal was won. Gold medalists got a new GL-Class, silver medalists were given an ML and bronze medalists were treated to a GLK. As prices for Mercedes are higher in Russia, the cheapest model, the GLK, was the equivalent of $59,500, according to The Moscow Times. The cars were handed out by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, pictured above with figure skating medalist Julia Lipnitskaia.
"I was a bit shocked at the car I was given," Anton Shipulin, a member of the gold-medal biathlon relay team, told RIA-Novosti. "Of course I knew what kind of model it would be, but I didn't totally believe it." For athletes not old enough to drive, like 15-year-old Lipnitskaia, their Mercedes will come complete with a driver.
