This is a diesel sports car. I started making these turbo stick shift Mercedes in 1993. We have made more then a dozen over the years. Usually our only constraint is finding a good clean car to start with. I have recently come up with this clean California car. It has a clean title and no accident history that I can find or see on the car. It was a one main owner for just about 30 years. I bought it from the second owner because it needed some mechanical work. When I saw how clean the car was I decided to do the conversion. When I started working on the car it had about 252k on the car. The turbo engine that I put in had only 108k. I took it out of the donor car. I have done a bunch of regular reconditioning on the car as I did the conversion. Here are some of the things that I did to the car. Upgraded items from a 240 to 300 radiator entire exhaust bigger oil cooler bigger drive shaft coolant expansion tank air cleaner valve cover breather hose rear differential fan and fan clutch Items that where serviced new clutch, pilot bearing, new oil cooler line 4 new belts motor mounts fog light new clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder shift rod bushings transmission service engine oil service new exhaust header pipe(with flexible part) New rear muffler new paint shift boot shift knob both fuel filters new air filter rear axle new ac dryer with all new oil rings and schreder valves air at 65 degrees alignment stabilizer shocks rear trans support mount hazard switch So I have gone all over this car to make it right. With the parts and services listed above if you where to take it into any Mercedes shop you would leave with about a $5000 bill just because of the amount of work that I did to it. That doesn't even take into consideration the upgraded engine with low miles, (engine value is about 3000 with only 108k). When you add the fun factor this car can be a deal. This car makes any commute more enjoyable. A couple of things that I like about using a 240 body is it has the manual climate control that hardly ever gives any trouble. It also has left and right heat controls. You can also put heat on your feet or the windshield and open the center vent for fresh cooler air. The manual crank window regulators rarely go bad. The other cool thing about this car is the interior is not only above average but it is a less common color. Most of the diesels in this era have tan, or blue interiors, some have black or cream. This color is very uncommon and I like it for that reason. You should still expect about the same fuel economy with this car. Usually I get about 25-28 with a 5 cyl turbo diesel. We have sold hundreds of these Mercedes diesels over the years. Absolutely rust free. Karsten Mercedes only Anderson, CA

Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]
Sat, 23 Feb 2013Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.
Maybach could become Mercedes-Benz sub-brand
Wed, 22 Jun 2011When you're arriving in a twin-turbocharged, twelve-cylinder Maybach limo, there's no reason you should ever have to be late. Except, maybe, to make a fashionable entrance. But up at the corporate level, the entire Maybach brand is being slowed down as critical decisions about its future are being undertaken.
Last week, we reported that a decision on what path Maybach would take going forward would be due at the start of next month, but the latest reports indicate that the timeframe has been extended as further options are being considered.
The previous options under consideration were twofold: either relaunch the brand with production outsourced to Aston Martin - which suddenly finds itself with excess production capacity - or shut it down completely. And those are still two very real options. Word has it that Aston has put together four concept cars for the Daimler brass to consider, all based on the next-generation S-Class platform (and thankfully not the old one).
