1979 Mercedes Benz 300TD wagon 5 cylinder diesel, 4 speed manual (as originally equipped), euro trim with extensive work already done, but still needing more time than I, a new father, have. Mileage unknown Car is all manual, including windows, sunroof, locks. Sale of car includes as much of a half a garage full of parts as you want, including a second sunroof, a passenger fender, a new exhaust system, another set of almost perfect bundt pans. Parts accrued from various 123 cars over a few years, so there is alot of stuff, but also alot of redundant stuff, e.g., 3 instrument clusters. Car has original fabric interior although front seats are replacements out of a low mile 300SD. Fabric seats in garage and in poor shape. Rear tex seats also available, but rear seats are currently original fabric in good shape. Car drives fine, stable at highway speeds, starts every time, and runs quietly and smoothly. The car spent much of its life in CA, and has rust in places that reflect dried gaskets and rain rather than snow. The floors are absolutely perfect. There is rust in the front rockers, bases of doors but not door sills, rear rockers, and misc spots around. Nothing is that bad, but needs to be dealt with sooner.  The paint on the car is poor and cheap, and the car should be stripped.  I am pretty sure there is bondo in the right rear quarter as there is paint cracking there.  All glass is fine, headliner is poor, carpets ok, interior trim generally ok. I have much of what could be replaced in the pile of parts I have. In short, this is a great, reliable car, which is an honest and worthy candidate for a high quality restoration but could also be driven until it drops decades from now. Part of the package, if wanted could also be a biodiesel setup with hand pump, 55 gallon drum, as well as large container with about 300 gallons of B20.

Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class

Mon, 18 Mar 2013


The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.

2017 Aston Marin Lagonda could live on Mercedes M-Class platform

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

A few weeks ago, we brought you news from the launch of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante that the British brand, which is formally known as Aston Martin Lagonda, was still planning on going ahead with a Lagonda-badged crossover. Now comes word that that vehicle could very well be based on a Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
When the first Lagonda Concept debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, it sat on a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class platform, some four years before Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG deal was inked. And with that partnership, which will see Aston Martin gain access to AMG electrics and "bespoke, V8 powertrains," the opportunities for platform sharing are many.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, the boss of Aston Martin, told the UK's AutoCar, "I look at what Porsche is doing with the 911 as its core business and then it is able to do models like the Cayenne based on the Volkswagen Touareg. It is good business." We've said many times that we'll tolerate exotic CUVs and SUVs if it means keeping the beloved core models alive, which has been the case with Porsche. We see no reason Aston Martin wouldn't be able to do the same.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe

Thu, 31 Jan 2013


Mercedes-Benz upgraded its SLS flagship Coupe and Roadster for the 2013 model year, and the changes are marked with them new "GT" nomenclature. Both SLS models arrive with a retuned naturally aspired 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque (the horses are up from 563, but the torque remains the same) mated to a revised seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch gearbox. Rounding out the mechanical upgrades is a redeveloped AMG two-mode adaptive suspension. Physically, the revised models are differentiated by their new "GT" badging, darkened headlight/taillight buckets, red brake calipers, unique wheel colors and high gloss finish on the front grille, exterior mirrors and hood/fender fins. Inside the cabin are new red seatbelts, Alcantara upholstery and contrasting red stitching.
As it is nearly impossible to experience the aluminum gullwing beast on public roads, Mercedes invited out to Southern California's Willow Springs to wring out the 2013 SLS GT Coupe on a racing circuit.
