MY DAD AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM ITS ORIGINAL OWNER THROUGH A CONSIGNMENT AT THE LOCAL BENZ DEALER.

THE ORIGINAL OWNER LIVED IN FLA AND ONLY DROVE THE CAR WHEN THEY WERE IN WV.

THE CAR SAT UNDER A CARPORT ON AND OFF FROM 1974-2009

THE ORIGINAL OWNER TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL BENZ DEALER FOR A TUNE UP AND PAINT JOB.

WE PURCHASED THIS CAR THEN......ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO.

WE HAVENT DRIVEN IT MORE THAN 5 TIMES SINCE, WE HAD TO RECENTLY PUT A BATTERY IN IT.

WE DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THESE OLD GERMAN CARS, BUT WHEN WE SAW IT, WE HAD TO HAVE IT

THE CAR COULD USE A TUNE-UP, IT RAN GREAT WHEN WE FIRST GOT IT, BUT IT HAS ACQUIRED A SLIGHT MIS WHEN THE THROTTLE IS FIRST APPLIED.....DUE TO SITTING IN MY GARAGE. A SET OF POINTS AND PLUGS WILL FIX IT RIGHT UP IM SURE.

IT IS SMOOTH AS GLASS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, A GREAT DRIVING CAR, ACTUALLY IMPRESSIVE FOR ITS AGE.

BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE CAR THE TIRES, FUEL PUMP, MUFFLER, PLUGS, PLUG WIRES, POINTS WERE REPLACED. ONE HUBCAP HAS BEEN RE-PAINTED.

THE REST OF THE CAR AS FAR AS I KNOW IS 100% ORIGINAL. EVEN THE SOFT TOP! IT LOOKS AMAZING, SUPPOSEDLY WAS NEVER PUT UP BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE SOFT TOP IS CHOCOLATE BROWN. WE HAVE THE HARD TOP AS WELL

THE CENTER OF THE SPEEDO NEEDLE FELL OFF, IT WAS LIKE THAT WHEN WE BOUGHT IT, THE TACH SEEMS INACCURATE, BUT WORKS. THE RADIO IS ORIGINAL BUT ONLY PICKS UP OCCASIONALLY...WHO NEEDS A RADIO IN A CLASSIC CONVERTIBLE?

THERE APPEARS TO BE NO RUST. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT SURFACE RUST IN THE TRUNK AND THE PASSENGER FLOORBOARD (LOOK AT PICS) NO HOLES, OR ANYTHING MAJOR. I COULD EASILY PAINT OVER IT AND IT WOULDN'T BE NOTICEABLE, BUT WE WANT TO BE AS STRAIGHTFORWARD AS POSSIBLE. THE DRIVER FLOORBOARD HAS THE SOUND DEADENING MATERIAL IN IT STILL.

THIS CAR IS STUNNING, EVERYONE LOVES IT, WE JUST NO LONGER HAVE ROOM.

Mercedes working on new inline-six engines

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Mercedes-Benz will make a return to the inline-six-cylinder engine game, according to a report from the UK's AutoCar. It's not clear what's prompting the phasing out of the current array of V6s.
We'll see the first inline-six from Mercedes in next-generation E-Class, set to debut in 2016. Following that, it'll arrive as part of a mid-cycle refresh for the C-Class in 2017. What's particularly special about the new inline-six is its modular nature, which will allow Mercedes to eventually spinoff three- and four-cylinder options, with the three-pot arriving alongside the new inline-six.
In other news, AutoCar uncovered some details on the next C-Class AMG, which will ditch its excellent 6.2-liter, AMG V8 in favor of a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, although we've already told you about that. What we didn't know at the time, though, was that the 4.0-liter would be paired first with a new, seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission and offer all-wheel drive. AC also reports that a nine-speed Speedshift is in the works.

Mercedes-Benz CLA stars in sweeping short with supermodel Karlie Kloss

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

The Mercedes-Benz CLA earned itself a spot on our list of the top five unveils of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and for good reason. The German luxury compact is the first small car from the Silver Arrow that looks suitably premium inside and out. Nowness.com has turned out a new video of the CLA featuring super model Karlie Koss in the lead role. We aren't entirely sure what the premise is, but from what we can tell, it looks as if the CLA comes to life and proceeds to be a giant jerk.
After Koss stops to take a closer look at a white horse, the CLA gives the supermodel the old stop-and-go treatment before leaving her on the side of the road. Eventually, the sedan makes nice, but Koss has to ride shotgun instead of taking the controls herself. You can check out the video below to see for yourself.

Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.
