Here is an early 230SL equipped with the much-improved 2.8 motor that came later in the 280SL cars. The motors look the same under the hood, but the 2.8 (marked as such on the block) is a much sturdier and desirable motor with 7 (not 5) main bearings and more power. The prior owner restored the car over the last 10 years and removed the side mouldings that come on all the W113 Pagoda cars. It gives the car a much cleaner, modern look, especially with the custom 16 inch Aluminum alloy rims and new 205/55 R16 Falken ZIEX tires. (No, they do not rub anywhere.) The pearl white paint job on the rust-free body is complimented by correct German square weave wool 2-tone carpet laid over insulated floors. The gaps around the doors, hood and trunk are uniform and true. Original wood interior trim is complete and in nice shape. Nice original ashtray. This is a true Euro version with no ugly side marker lights, headrests or bumper guards. It has US headlight assemblies. The speedometer is in kilometers and the other gauges are European as well. A high quality, powerful Alpine CD stereo and working electric antenna have been added, along with a pair of 6 by 9 Alpine speakers neatly tucked in the kick panels as shown. Seats and interior have been redone in parchment MB tex and are in mint condition, but the seat back adjusters do not work well, and the passenger side knob is missing. Tan top is brand new German Sonnendeck with the herringbone pattern underneath. I have been driving the car for several months and have added these new parts: complete tune up, new fan belt, new brake cylinders and hoses, new rear brake shoes, new oil and filter, new antifreeze, flush and refill brake system, new battery, new trunk seal, OEM windshield weatherstriping, new windshield and misc. other weatherstriping. This car is a pleasure to drive. It holds good oil pressure and has never overheated once this summer. It starts very easily, does not miss or sputter, no smoking or knocking, takes bumps and potholes with ease, smooth ride, smooth shifting of automatic transmission, all gauges work, windows roll up and down, top latches fine front and back, all exterior lights work, heat and air levers work, wipers and squirter work. The original clock is there but not operating. No rust in the storage compartments under the rear carpeted wood panels and no rust in the top well. The trunk is rust free. The factory hard top is included, but it needs a little work in order to be as nice as the car is. The odometer says 86,125 kilometers. I assume it must be 186,125, but the title I got said it was actual miles. [186,125 kilometers is 115,653 miles.] The car is located in Charleston, West Virginia. If you want to fly in to see the car, I will drive this car to the airport and pick you up. The car is offered for sale locally, so this auction is subject to ending abruptly. High bidder to pay the $500 deposit within 24 hours of the end of the sale. Balance in cash or wire transfer prior to taking possession.

Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
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.
Gullwing America turns SLS AMG Roadster into stunning 1955 300 SC redux
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Gullwing America specializes in what it calls "retro styling meets modern technology." It's next demonstration of that is the convertible above, a stylized recreation of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC (inset) supported by the structure of a 2012 SLS AMG Roadster. Commissioned by a client in Eastern Europe, the resulting car is called the 300 SLC.
The hand-formed aluminum bodywork required just a few changes to the SLS AMG Roadster, namely reworking the headlights into a stacked arrangement of LEDs and relocating the pop-up spoiler behind the cabin. The retro grille and long, straight hood evoke the past, the custom exhaust, height-adjustable suspension, 21-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in back, however, stray a little further from history. The 300 SLC will come with a hardtop and be one-of-a-kind, making it even rarer than its inspiration, of which 92 were made.
If you have any more questions, they can probably be answered in the high-res photo gallery above and press release below.
