They say every car has a story....if this is true, this one would be made into an action packed movie!

 

This car was featured on the hit tv show, Fast n Loud on The Discovery Channel, April 1, 2013 as part of their mid season finale. The car was sold to me on the show through Gas Monkey Garage.


The Benz you see pictured started its life with its originally owner being the one and only Emmitt Smith of the Dallas Cowboys!
Emmitt drove the car a number of years, I have a copy of the registration dating back to 1996, this will go with the sale.
 

I have all the original owners manuals, that contain his name, address and phone number, these items will of course go with the sale. 
There is also a dash plaque containing his name. This will go with the sale as well.
 
I've googled Emmitt Smith Mercedes, and found several articles, about this car. Most recent his wife mentioned it on her show, the D. Her show is out of Dallas Texas. She was interviewing, Richard and Aaron from Gas Monkey Garage from Dallas Texas, and they found her husbands Benz.

Now onto the car.....
I drove the car around Dallas while I was there and it performed as expected. It runs and drives great, but of course because of its age, it is not perfect. 
The only mechanical, electrical issue I noticed was most of the guages dont work. (Hence why the car will be sold TMU, mileage exempt)If you google this its a common problem, that can be addressed by replacing the instrument panel with a used one. Not too expensive. Passenger side window is also inoperable.
 
Mostly what Ive noticed is some slight cosmetic issues. The car has definitely had a repaint at once in its life. The drivers seat has been redone at one time, but not by the nice lady on the show (Sue). The passenger seat has tears on the seams. 

The hardtop is currently on the car and I have removed it, to see the convertible top. The top itself is in good shape, but the rear windows are useless.
The Benz has an aftermarket McIntosh CD player (when is the last time youve seen one of these?) It also has 6x9 speakers in the rear deck in a custom enclosure.  

Overall this is a great driver, with a great story behind it. Anyone can have a signed jersey....how many people can say they have the car that one of the best football players of all time owned and that was featured on a hit tv show! Quite the conversation starter!

I've sold many cars on EBAY and maintain a 100% feedback as both buyer and seller. I will help with shipping anyway I can, at the buyers expense. If you would like to drive the car home, I will be glad to pick you up at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.

Toyota and Mercedes begin the Super Bowl ad teases with dads and hares

Tue, Jan 20 2015

Advertising Age says pregame buzz is where Super Bowl advertisers really build momentum for their Big Game commercials, so let the teasing continue. We've seen the 30-second spot for the Lexus NX, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota are next out of the tunnel with campaigns that focus on a fable and fathers, respectively. The Mercedes tease gets former NFL wide receiver Jerry Rice lining up a talking-heads debate with eight-year-old Andrew Hunter about whether Hunter's hare could beat a tortoise in a race, but it's a disaster before it even begins. In what will be a continuing storyline, a social media component lets people side with #TeamTortoise or #TeamHare, with "a Big Race viewing party" going to a lucky winner. Mercedes also promises there'll be a hero at the end, which we imagine will something in the Three-Pointed-Star family as opposed to the Testudinae or Leporidae families. Toyota's all about the biological family, rolling out a series of tweets and Vine videos showing off ex-NFL'ers and their kids to hype the "One Bold Choice Leads to Another" campaign for the Camry. The profiled paterfamiliae will be examples of those "who have contributed to their families' lives in bold ways." A 60-second spot during the pre-game will feature Paralympic athlete Amy Purdy, then those stand-up dads will get their own 60 seconds during the second quarter. The social media tag for this one is #OneBoldChoice. You can watch Mercedes' opening salvo above, and check out a Toyota tweet with ex-quarterback Kurt Warner below.

Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman

Fri, 25 Nov 2011

According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.

Sunday Drive: From a mid-engine 'Vette to a restomod RV

Sun, Jan 7 2018

Automotive enthusiasts are a diverse bunch. As proof, we present last week's top posts on Autoblog, starting with some really good spy photos of the upcoming mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette. Will it be sold alongside a classic front-engine 'Vette? We have no idea, but we can't wait to find out. Up next is a pickup truck. Can't get much further from a supercar, right? At least both the Corvette and the 2019 Ram 1500 – which will debut a radical new design that appears to eschew the mini big-rig look of past Rams in favor of something more refined – are both American. Decidedly not American? The Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. The boxy off-road 'ute looks a heck of a lot like the old one, which is probably a good thing, but we know it'll be fancier and more luxurious than ever before. Check out the leaked images below. Also hailing from Germany, but sharing absolutely nothing else in common at all, is the Audi A4 Allroad. We've been driving this all-wheel-drive wagon for a while now, and we like it quite a bit. And, last but not least, is a 1959 bus that's been converted into an RV. Like we said, y'all certainly are a diverse bunch.
