1984 Mercedes 300D Turbo Sedan. This has been my baby since 2001 and has served me well. I bought it with 172,000 miles on it and have replaced many parts since I have had it.

I currently have 248,618 on the Odometer.

Now for the Bad, car will have to be towed or loaded on to a car carrier, it will run and drive short distances, but there is a large knock in the engine and that will need to be rebuilt. My friend borrowed the car when it was in L.A. and ran the thing with the thermostat stuck shut until the engine overheated.

In addition, the exhaust system from the down Y in the middle of the car, although the way back is missing, it fell off on the ride to L.A. in Colorado, although it sounded amazing until the engine overheated a month later.

The rear bumper fell off, but I still have it.

No radio, but has two Boston speakers in back and two focal tweeters in the front.

The vehicle is all pre-wired to handle a new radio install.

There is a Wilson CB antenna wired into the vehicle and set for a lip trunk mount. The vehicle has 4 Blizzak Snow Tires on it as well.

Everything worked on it prior to the epic trip it had out West.

THE GOOD:

THIS WAS MY FIRST BABY INTO THE WORLD OF THE W123 CHASSIS

MANY NEW PARTS OVER THE LAST 12 YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT

A GREAT SOUND SYSTEM

THE VIRGIN GUADELOUPE SHIFTER

THE BAD:

REAR BUMPER IS NOT ON THE CAR, BUT I STILL HAVE IT. IT CAN BE WELDED ON PRETTY EASILY

ENGINE HAS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND WILL NEED A REBUILD, BUT IT STILL STARTS SO PROBABLY BAD BEARINGS.

BOTH MUFFLERS MISSING IN THE MIDDLE OF COLORADO, BUT MAN DOES IT SOUND NICE, I WOULD HAVE STRAIGHT PIPED IT IF MY FRIEND DIDN’T KILL THE ‘UNBREAKABLE’ ENGINE OF ALL TIME THAT NORMALLY GOES A MILLION MILES.

THE UGLY:

SOME RUST SPOTS, NOTHING TOO EXTREME

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TOW THIS AWAY, BUT IT CAN DRIVE UP ON A TRANSPORTER SO THAT’S A PLUS

Twin-turbo Cadillac CTS coming

Gullwing America turns SLS AMG Roadster into stunning 1955 300 SC redux

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Gullwing America specializes in what it calls "retro styling meets modern technology." It's next demonstration of that is the convertible above, a stylized recreation of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC (inset) supported by the structure of a 2012 SLS AMG Roadster. Commissioned by a client in Eastern Europe, the resulting car is called the 300 SLC.
The hand-formed aluminum bodywork required just a few changes to the SLS AMG Roadster, namely reworking the headlights into a stacked arrangement of LEDs and relocating the pop-up spoiler behind the cabin. The retro grille and long, straight hood evoke the past, the custom exhaust, height-adjustable suspension, 21-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in back, however, stray a little further from history. The 300 SLC will come with a hardtop and be one-of-a-kind, making it even rarer than its inspiration, of which 92 were made.
If you have any more questions, they can probably be answered in the high-res photo gallery above and press release below.

Average new-vehicle transaction price hits a whopping new peak in December

Wed, Jan 11 2023

Elevated prices for products and higher borrowing rates led to record high transaction prices for new vehicles in December, with the average cost in the U.S. rising to a record $49,507, according to data from Kelley Blue Book released today. The report notes that ATPs — average transaction prices — have climbed above suggested retail prices — MSRPs — for more than a year. Sales volumes were up in December on a year-over-year basis by more than 5%, a situation Kelley attributed to improved supply. Overall sales for 2022, however, were off 8% year over year. “The transaction data from December clearly indicates overall prices showed no signs of coming down as we headed into year-end,” said Rebecca Rydzewski, research manager of economic and industry insights for Cox Automotive. “Luxury prices fell slightly in December, but non-luxury transaction prices were up. Truck sales were particularly strong last month, and with many trucks selling for more than $60,000, a new record was all but inevitable.” Industry analysts claim the most obvious headwinds in the new car market are generated by higher interest rates, forced by the Federal Reserve's rate hikes intended to tame inflation, and by generally limited inventory. A recent report from J.D. Power showed that the average monthly payment for a new vehicle loan in December was $718, up $47 from a year ago. But 16% of consumers in December took out loans with monthly payments of over $1,000. Consumers think vehicles, and electric vehicles especially, are way too expensive. Fortunately, manufacturersÂ’ incentives, all but extinct in the past two years, are returning, especially in the electric-vehicle and luxury market, the Kelley data suggest. Plus, "With the new tax credits on the way, electric vehicle ATPs will drop lower for qualifying vehicles,” Rydzewski said. Non-luxury brands, such as Honda and Kia, showed particularly strong performance in December, with the average price paid at $45,578 — a record high and an increase of $994 month over month. Meanwhile, the average luxury buyer paid $66,660 for a new vehicle last month. Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover showed the most price strength in the luxury market, transacting between 2.6% to 6.5% over sticker price. But luxury brands Audi, BMW, Infiniti, Lexus, Lincoln, and Volvo showed the least price strength with some discounting in effect, selling 1% or more below MSRP in December, according to the survey.
