Mercedes Benz 450SLC 1979 - (2) owners (CA), prior to me in which I bought the car about 1 year ago, kept garaged and put less than 100 miles on this car. The below information was supplied by the previous owner in California.
172,470 original miles, complete value job done with timing chain and all timing component replaced.
Always garaged and serviced at Maurice Mercedes service in Costa Mesa CA.
This classic coupe is so elegant with the terracota factory color and the beige leather interior, that always recieve compliments while driving in a Sunday brunch. This is the same model that Onasis gave to Jackie back on the 70's. This is a classic European VB sport coupe that will increase in value with the years.
Mechanically is superb, it runs so strong, fast and smooth at the same time that is a pleasure to drive it. The transmission shift just perfect, no slipping, no knock, no noise. Perfect.
The interior is in very clean condition. The seats are leather, both front seats show wear due to the age of the car, both seats have a tear on the top part of the seat (see photo's) that can be restitched. The headliner, the door panels, the rear seats and back tray are in great shape. The dashboard has a cover in the same beige color tone. The wood trim all around is nice, there is a very little piece missing next to the ignition tumbler, almost not noticeable. The carpets and floor mats are in good shape. All the gauges work, the radio works, the radio antenna works, the AC work, the heather works, the dome lights works, the door locks work, both front seats move back and forward freely. The horn works.
The exterior is almost in excellent condition except for 2 very minor scratches on the panels, one paint bubble next to the grill and very little spot around the radio antenna were the clear coat is peeling off. All the chromes are perfect, they are shining as the first day.
The tires are like new, they still have 90% left thread. All the brakes, belts, water hoes and breather hoses have been checked.
The car comes with a spare tire, floor jack, and original tools.

Daimler names Bernd Pischetsrieder to supervisory board
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Some executives in the automotive industry stay with one company for their entire careers, while others bounce from one to the other, often leaving their indelible mark on each automaker at which they serve. Bob Lutz is certainly an example of the latter. So is Lee Iacocca, having presided over Ford and later charing the Chrysler board. Carlos Tavares was chief operating officer of Renault before being nominated as chief executive at PSA Peugeot Citroën. But as far as the Germans go, nobody's jumped from the leadership of one automaker to the next quite like Bernd Pischetsrieder - especially now that he's been named to the supervisory board of Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler.
An engineer by training, Pischetsrieder started his career at BMW in 1973, eventually rising to the office of CEO after twenty years. There he remained until 1999, only to be dismissed after orchestrating BMW's takeover of the Rover Group (of which only the Mini brand remains in the company's portfolio, the other brands having been sold off after his dismissal).
The next year he was named chairman of Volkswagen's Seat brand, and rose to the chairmanship of the entire Volkswagen Group two years later. Despite a largely successful four-year tenure (that gave birth, incidentally, to the Bugatti Veyron), disagreements with supervisory board chairman Ferdinand Piëch saw him leave the helm at VW AG, focusing his attention on the Scania truck division. He's since been touted as a potential chief executive for Opel and for Continental, but neither potential was apparently realized.
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.
