Year:1985 Mileage:92000

Ellijay, Georgia, United States

1985 Mercedes 280SL 5 Speed.  Less than 92,000 Miles.

This is  the European high output double overhead cam 2.8 liter SL.  Has more horsepower than the 3.8 V eight in a lighter, better handling package.  I believe that this SL has the Lorinser package.  I have never seen another one like it.  Wider wheels and aerodynamic . Really sticks to the road.  I  always get comments in this car.

It is very entertaining to drive in the mountains.  Gets 23 to 25 mpg on ethanol free premium fuel. 
This is not like the big, heavy cruisers.  The 280's are high revving and more agile due to the better weight distribution.

Pros: Mechanically sound, less than 92k miles.All gauges work, including the clock. Does not leak any fluids. Exceptional handling. Excellent fuel economy for SL.  Very rare. Dash has no cracks.  NO RUST.  Both tops.  Interesting chapter in this vehicles early history - Car was manufactured in Germany and was exported to Bogota Colombia in 1985.  Shipped to Texas a few months later.  ??? Documentation included. Has been in Texas until I Bought it in 2008. Has original tool kit and unopened first aid kit. Also have set of U.S. Spec lights if you don't like the European look.

Cons:  Almost 30 years old, some items do show wear.  Chrome on some wheels flaking,  Drivers seat has rip. Paint is good but does have age that shows on close inspection, it does not show up well in the pictures.  Two small tears in top.

If you would like to know why these are considered a "Drivers Car" and learn more about the 280sl and bulletproof M110 engine, please follow this link:

First official shot of Mercedes S-Class Coupe leaks out

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

With the official debut for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe expected tomorrow, it shouldn't be a surprise that some clicky fingers have already managed to uncover an official image of the car before the unveiling. Outside of this sole image, though, there's precious little detail on the new car.
First posted by Autofilou and then picked up by WorldCarFans, the production S-Class Coupe isn't far off from the concept car we saw a few months back in Frankfurt. Like the concept, the leggy production model appears related, albeit distantly, to the S-Class Sedan. The hood and front fascia are longer and lower, befitting of a two-door, while the character lines in the profile are more pronounced. Obviously, the beltline and slim, B-pillarless greenhouse are coupe-only items. We can't see any details on the back of the car, although it does appear that the long hood has a correspondingly short rear deck.
We'll have all the details on the official replacement for the CL-Class when it makes its full debut tomorrow. Until then, what do you think of this lone image? Does it appear that Mercedes has got it right? In terms of design, where would you rank this with the departing CL-Class? Have your say in Comments.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept gets mobbed in China

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

If the reception it received at the Shanghai Motor Show is any judge of marketplace acceptance, Mercedes-Benz has a hit on its hands in the form of the GLA Concept. And we can understand why - we're quickly becoming fans of Mercedes' recent styling language, as defined by new models like the CLA and this GLA Concept.
The big news on the exterior front are the headlamp clusters, which have frickin' laser beams attached to their foreheads embedded inside that are capable of projecting videos and images on a screen. Plus, a pair of video cameras are mounted on the roof that can be used to capture driving excitement or removed and taken with you. How cool is that? We just hope they have a substantial locking mechanism to prevent would-be thievery...
If the exterior is mostly ready for production, with a few of the more outlandish elements moved to the trash bin - like, for instance, laser-beam headlamps and removable action cams - the interior is a true custom job that screams concept loud and clear. There are all kinds of jewel-like finishes inside, along with transparent surfaces showing what looks like metal latticework underneath and some awfully thick looking leather with massive exterior stitching done by hand similar to what you'd find on a baseball glove.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
