1968 Mercedes-benz Sl-class Sl on 2040-cars
Porterville, California, United States

Purchased new at Fox Brothers in Hollywood Ca. and lovingly cared for by the original owner until 2007, the current
owner has used the car sparingly since and has added only 13K during their ownership.
The California Coupe was a special order 280SL that deleted the top well and soft top creating enough space for a
full width folding back seat while retaining the removable hard top. A true two owner black plate California car,
it has always been garaged, and it has spent it’s entire life exclusively in Southern California. It has never
been hit and has never seen rust. In fact, all panels have matching numbers and all of the factory spot welds are
undisturbed.
Obviously well cared for, the bodywork has been repainted once in the original Tobacco Brown and shows well but
there are a few flaws worth noting. The hard top has a few paint blisters on the leading edge above the windshield,
and there are some minor paint chips on the edge of the hood. All of the chrome and trim are original Mercedes-Benz
pieces and still look nice.
Inside, the cognac colored MB Tex seats were reupholstered at one time and still look great but there are some
splits in the headliner. All gauges and controls work well, but the dealer installed AC does not blow cold and
would probably benefit from a recharge. The carpets are original and look good but show some wear on the driver’s
side. The dash cover has a few minor cracks, and the wood trim on the dashboard has some decay on the driver’s
side edge.
Mechanically it runs and drives well and has been well maintained. Powered by the 2.8 liter six cylinder coupled
with a four speed automatic transmission, it has never been rebuilt and has had only routine maintenance as
required throughout the years.

Mercedes CLA45 AMG Racing is ready for a spot on the grid
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz trotted out its CLA45 AMG-based racer at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. We first showed you the sedan in the deluge of news and reveals that precedes most good auto shows, and were blown away by the car, formally known as the CLA45 AMG Racing Series.
We were strolling by the Mercedes stand, and figured we'd pop in and take a look at the new racer and its carbon-fiber body panels, gutted interior, and race-sourced aero parts. It's a looker, both as a road car and a track weapon. It's not clear what series the CLA45 AMG will qualify for, although it does seem like a shoe-in for the World Touring Car Championship. Let us know what you think of the CLA racer down in the comments. In the meantime, we've got a full gallery of live images up top, along with the stock images that were posted last week on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page.
2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.
Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
