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

Mercedes rules out hybrid supercar, promises SLS successor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013The recent Geneva Motor Show was a festival of hypercars, with the presence of not one, but three over-the-top debuts: the Lamborghini Veneno, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LeFerrari. The latter two have hitched their carbon fiber bumpers to the electrification bandwagon by using hybrid-electric powertrains not entirely unlike the propulsion systems we've come to know in cars like the Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Volt. Does that mean the flow of electrons up the four-wheeled food chain will eventually consume our hallowed supercars? Not if AMG has anything to say about it.
AMG Director of Vehicle Development Tobias Moers recently confirmed that not only will there be a successor to the Mercedes-Benz performance division's SLS AMG, he notes that its internal combustion engine will most definitely not be sharing living quarters with an electric drivetrain. Instead, AMG plans to focus on further pushing the power and efficiency envelope of the internal combustion engine and advancing the use of lightweight materials to achieve their goals. The first example of this effort can be seen in the new SLS AMG Black Series that incorporates many weight-saving techniques to shed some 154 pounds from the SLS AMG GT (above), which itself is lighter than the standard SLS AMG.
Furthermore, Moers remarks that his company is happy to leave the hypercar segment to companies like Ferrari and McLaren. He admits that, "Ferrari in the hyper-car segment is still a different brand than AMG. We have to be honest..." So rather than taking the SLS further upmarket to do battle with bulls and stallions, Moers hinted that the next-generation SLS may be joined by another performance model that fits neatly between itself and the C63 AMG.
Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
Mercedes C111 concept in commercial spoof A Fistful of Wolves
Fri, Jan 16 2015A Fistful of Wolves is a spoof of fashion advertising, commissioned by Mercedes-Benz to spread a cheeky word about Berlin Fashion Week. Yet, in the lampooning of sartorial gobbledygook, plenty of automotive advertising gets doused with cold water, too - like the ads that subscribe to the importance of being earnest (looking at you Matthew McConaughey and Kate Walsh), or the ones that try to convey just how unimaginably cool you'll be once you've jumped into the three-year-lease hole (looking at you, um... Mercedes-Benz and every other German luxury brand). We appreciate a brand that can make fun of itself, though. Led by Australian Justin O'Shea driving the Mercedes C111 through Berlin, it's beautiful satire as O'Shea tries to be fashion-forward while his friends go on about their daily lives, wondering why he never seems to be listening until he's offered cake, or why he's trying to walk in slow motion. Check it out in the video above. News Source: Mercedes-Benz via YouTube, Car and Driver Celebrities Humor Marketing/Advertising Mercedes-Benz Coupe Concept Cars Videos spoof
