1976 Mercedes Benz 280 W114 Almost Driving on 2040-cars
Dallas, Texas, United States
I bought it about a year ago for $1,000. When I got it, it had been sitting for 3 years, but I changed the oil, coolant and hoses, fuel, and it started. The engine sounded very good but the carburetor was overflowing, so I had the carb rebuilt ($300-have the receipt). Put the carb back on, still started but was still overflowing, so I suspect that it needs a new needle valve. The newly rebuilt carb is now sitting on the driver floorboard (pictured), and probably just needs a needle valve. The carb on the engine in the pictures doesn't go with it, it's just one I threw on there out of curiosity of how it would run. The intake manifold has a messed up bolt hole for the carb mount on one of the 4 corners. It is still usable when a nut and bolt are used on that corner. I had it installed this way with no vacuum leaks. This car isn't far from driving and it has a clear title. I wrote my name and date ont he title when I bought it a year ago and then forgot to finish transferring it, but I'm getting that sorted out. The battery in the picture also doesn't fit, it's from one of my diesels, but can be included if wanted.
Body and interior:
Very straight body, some door dings and hail dings. Paint polishes out decent, not great. Almost no rust. Little bit of rust at bottom of the driver rear quarter panel, and a rust hole at the front of the passenger front floorboard. Floorboards are otherwise totally rust free from what I can tell. Interior is rough. Padding inside the seats is dead, feels like you're sitting on springs. And the springs are shot. Some tears in the MBtex. Carpet in pretty bad shape too, headliner falling in rear, wood on dash needs re-varnishing.
Sunroof works, 3 windows work (driver front doesn't). Hubcaps are included (pictured) and in decent shape.
Comes with some spare parts and lots of maintenance history.
Ebay was giving me trouble uploading pictures. This car is also posted on peachparts dot com in the "Mercedes cars for sale" section, and there are more pictures there. I can also email pictures on request.

Mercedes C350e PHEV will start at 51,000 euros
Tue, Feb 3 2015Mercedes-Benz will start selling its C350 Plug-In Hybrid in Europe next month, for a somewhat reasonable price. The Daimler division has announced the sedan will cost about 51,000 euros ($58,000 US). Which isn't insanely expensive by Benz standards. Mercedes first showed off the model stateside at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit last month, and the specs were pretty impressive. The car delivers a combined 275 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque from its gas-powered engine and electric motor. The C350 PHEV also offers a 112 miles per gallon equivalent fuel efficiency rating (using the more lenient European driving cycle) alongside a 0-60 mile per hour acceleration time of less than six seconds. And the car can go as far as 20 miles on electricity while reaching a top speed of 130 miles per hour. Both lead-footers and tree-huggers can rejoice at that. Americans won't be that far behind their European brethren, as the model will go on sale as a 2016 model-year version in the US this fall. In the meantime, for some more information on a sedan that we think qualifies as a bit of guilt-free fun, take a look at Mercedes's press release below. Sales release for the C 350 e: Future inside Stuttgart, Feb 02, 2015 Stuttgart – As a plug-in hybrid, the new Mercedes-Benz C 350 e combines an extraordinary level of efficiency, dynamism and comfort. In both its Saloon and its Estate guise, the performance of a sports car makes it a convincing proposition, especially combined with certified consumption figures of just 2.1 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres and a range of up to 31 kilometres in all-electric mode. Both the Saloon and the Estate model are equipped with air suspension and a pre-entry climate control system as standard, delivering a unique level of driving and climate comfort. The C 350 e is available to order now from 50,961.75 euros for the Saloon and 52,627.75 euros for the Estate (prices include VAT). Both vehicles will be at dealerships from March 2015. As a plug-in hybrid, the C 350 e combines a combustion engine with an electric drive system and a high-voltage lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 6.38 kWh, which can be charged from an external power source. Thanks to an intelligent on-board charging system, this takes approximately one hour and 30 minutes at a wallbox. A charging time of around two hours is achievable via a socket.
2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
Mercedes-Benz C350 Plug-In Hybrid promises 20 miles EV range, 5.9 seconds to 60
Mon, Jan 12 2015Mercedes-Benz has introduced its first hybrid C-Class to the US market with the new C350 Plug-In Hybrid. Despite its fuel-saving purpose, though, this C is not short on firepower. MB paired a 208-horsepower, 258-pound-foot, turbocharged four-cylinder with a 80-hp, 251-lb-ft electric motor for a potent overall output of 275 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. That translates a 0-60 time of just 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 130 miles per hour. For those that aren't interested in such frivolous numbers, though, the C-Class can still impress in more environmentally friendly ways. It can cover 20 miles to a charge and will hit speeds of up to 80 miles per hour (although not likely at the same time). Naturally, fuel economy figures aren't available at this early stage. Beyond those powertrain changes, the C350 Plug-In is still the same relaxed, luxurious baby S-Class, with a class-leading interior that should really benefit from the quiet ride provided by an electric powertrain. Take a look at our full gallery of live images of the new C-Class hybrid, straight from the Detroit's Cobo Hall.
