This car is virtually rust free. All floor pans and frame rails show no signs of
corrosion or of previous repair and are believed to be original. This
vehicle appears to be accident free. The body panels are free of dents, rust
All of the lights, both interior and exterior, work as they should and all
gages are functioning as required.
The engine was rebuilt using all new parts and is in perfect running
condition. This included pistons, bearings, oil pump, timing chain, valve
seats, valves and all new gaskets. The machining work was done by a highly
respected expert regarding vintage engines. All the engine parts were
cleaned and painted or anodized as per original. All engine assembly was
done at SL Barn either by me or under my close supervision. The careful
driving with no incidents or problems.
The fuel injection pump was also rebuilt and new fuel injectors were
installed. All aspects of the fuel injection system were replaced or rebuilt
as required for optimal running.
The transmission is a fully synchronized four speed gear box which was also
rebuilt. We used all new bearings and seals throughout the box and it
operates quietly and shifts effortlessly. We also installed a new clutch and
pressure plate as well as a new master and slave cylinder.
The tires and running gear are in good condition and the car is free of
vibrations, rattles or squeaks. The brakes were inspected as well as the
exhaust system and all are in good condition. The hand brake operates
properly and releases fully.
The trunk is clean with original rubber floor mat. The spare tire is correct
and has the original tire cover as well as the original tool kit installed.
The tail lights are the original all red units. The chrome around the
outside of the tail lights shows some pitting which is consistent with the
age of the car.
Driving impressions:
The engine starts easily and comes to a fast idle as required. As the engine
warms the idle speed lowers and comes to a steady idle. The engine runs
smoothly and has no leaks or unusual noises. The engine bay is nicely
detailed and correct for this year of car. All components show well.
The clutch works smoothly without and jerking upon release. The transmission
shifts smoothly from one gear to the next, either up or down shifting. The
steering runs straight and true without any wandering to either side. The
brakes pull the car down quickly without fading or pulling to either side.
The power steering is smooth and operates quietly.
All gages read normally while driving at full oil pressure and 180 degrees F
on the temperature gage. Signals work properly, high beam and fuel gage
works as required. Speedometer, odometer and tachometer all function
normally. Heater levers are free and the heater blower motor is working. The
heater gives adequate heat and shuts off fully for summer driving.
All in all, a very pleasant car to drive.

Mercedes AMG and Cigarette Racing debut 2,220-HP electric motor boat
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell, stretch it and take off the wheels then make it float and you've basically got the just-unveiled Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept. Powered by an all-electric powertrain that offers 2,200 horsepower and 2,213 pound-feet of torque (and uses "numerous components" taken from the not-quite-as-yellow SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive), the sleek concept is being called the "world's most powerful electric drive powerboat." What that means is a top speed of over 100 miles per hour from four 60-kWh lithium-ion batteries and two banks of six liquid-cooled, permanent-magnet synchronous electric motors. And the 240 kWh of total energy should provide plenty of juice out on the water.
Launched (but not literally) at the Miami International Boat Show today, the Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept is the result of a partnership between Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing. The boat is 38 feet long (much longer than the 15-foot SLS) and is plastered with AMG branding on the sides and top of the bow above the matte chrome yellow paint (officially called AMG Electricbeam mango). Two 220-kW chargers can refill the batteries, dockside, in about seven hours.
The idea of a powerful electric boat is nothing new (Henrik Fisker talked about a plug-in hybrid watercraft late last year), but this is the first time we've seen Mercedes put its EV technology on the water. Anyone who's afraid of driving an EV in the rain should take note. Check out the complete press release below.
New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
