1957 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL BARN FIND!
We are listing this for a relative. This car is still owned by the original owner that purchased the little car
directly from the factory in Germany when he was stationed there in the army. The title will be the original title
he received when he brought the car back to the States
The little Mercedes has been in the barn for a long time and has suffered from dings, scuffs, scratches etc.. the
floor boards are very solid with just one finger side rust hole under the drivers floor and one small hole under
the original spare tire. There is a couple of small rust spots in the body but other than that the body is very
solid. It has a little mouse damage , the whole electrical system seems to be all intact and working, headlights,
dome lights, speedometer, gauges and dash lights still work. The starter works and engages but the engine will not
turn over, the clutch works good and is very solid. The tires still had air in them and the spare tire was still
hard. The convertible top works as it should. Look at the pictures thoroughly and ask questions and we will relay
to the owner. 1957 Mercedes 190 SL
I was drafted into the Army in May of 1956. In November, I was shipped to Germany and while there I
purchased a 1957 190 SL Mercedes directly from the factory and picked it up in Stuttgart. I toured
several countries in Europe with it and when I was scheduled to return to the USA to be discharged, I
took it up to Bremerhaven to be loaded on a ship to be delivered to New Jersey. After my discharge at
Fort Dix in 1958, I picked it up at the dock and drove home to Ohio. My wife and I put about 20000+
miles on it after we were married and then we were having a family and farming pretty heavy. Since it is not
a family car, it did not get used much. I had chances to sell it but sentiment stopped that. It was
put into the barn on an asphalt floor and it basically has set there for many years.
I am now nearing 83 years old and we have decided to let it go to someone who we hope will restore it to
its original
beauty.
It has never been in an accident of any kind, not even any dents. All the dents and dings it now has come
from sitting in the barn and from careless workers, kids and grandchildren over the years.
I have had some great times driving this car and I hate to part with it. This car is what caught my wife's
eye at a church service in the spring of 1958 and I was the second thing she noticed. Our 56th wedding
anniversary was on September 13, 2015. It really has been a great car for me. I would hope
someone would value it as well.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video

Mon, Dec 7 2015

With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.

Watch Jay Leno's Garage work on a Porsche 911 and others

Mon, Apr 18 2016

Jay Leno doesn't just own a bunch of cars – he restores them. (Or has people who restores them, at any rate.) For this latest video, he's showing us some of the projects he and his team are currently working on. The tour-de-garage starts with a 1953 Cunningham that had been in storage since '68, complete with a copper grille ready for plating and a 331 Hemi V8. Jay says that every one of the cars that Briggs Cunningham made is still on the road – but that's just one of the dozen or so projects Jay and company are working on. There's a suitably brown '71 Porsche 911 T in near-original condition having sat untouched parked underground in Beverly Hills for decades, and a '58 Chrysler Imperial convertible once driven by Clark Gable and Frank Sinatra, and now getting a brake upgrade. There's a Volvo 122 wagon that's been stripped down, media-blasted, and powder-coated, a thousand-horsepower Rolls-Royce, a 1960 Nash Metropolitan, a supercharged Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman, and a 1914 Detroit Electric. And those are just the four-wheeled automobiles. Over in the two-wheeler section there's a pair of Brough Superiors, a BSA, an Indian, and a custom racing sidecar that Jay's mechanic Bernard is working on. In short, Jay Leno's Garage isn't just one where vehicles are kept – it's one where vehicles are brought back to life.
