Mercedes-benz 300 Sel 1970 on 2040-cars
King George, Virginia, United States

This was my dad's car. After his passing in 1991, the car was shipped to me from Switzerland. I was a principal in a body shop/garage for seven years from 1999 until 2006. Early (2001approx) the car was stripped to bare metal and repaired and painted the original color. Both front fenders were removed and worn portions were cut out and new metal was used in the repair.All trim was removed (belt moldings, body side moldings, weather strip, door handles, grill, vent trim, bumpers, all bright work as the British refer to chrome. All new body side moldings were purchased, including retainers. Bumpers front and rear were sent out for minor straightening and chrome application. The front wind shield had a crack and was replaced at this time. The car was professionally primed and repainted in a state of the art down draft booth, base coat and clear coat . A minimum of wet-sanding and buffing was required. Since that work the car has been garage kept in a climate controlled garage.
Since that time, not in chronological order the following has been performed: A) Air suspension bladders at all four corners have been replaced a) all valving and flex hosing has been replaced, (under hood master valve, front left and right leveling valves, rear leveling valve, {3} flexible hoses at front of vehicle) B) Transmission has been removed and all drive bands replaced, valve body disassembled and cleaned, all clutches steel plates inspected and filter and fluid changed. C) Water pump replaced D) Rear brake hoses, left and right replaced. E) Brake master cylinder replaced. F) Intake manifold gasket and fuel injector seals replaced. G) Complete exhaust system replaced H) Battery relaxed. I) Full tune up, plugs wires, cap, rotor replaced. This is how I would grade these areas of this car: Body and paint 8.5/10 Interior 8.5/10 Mechanical 9.0/10 Chrome 9.0/10 This was a European purchase. My dad took care of his cars. I spent 35 years taking care of other people's cars. As is done in adoptions, i would like to vet prospective buyers to see that this car goes to a good home, I am a realist and realize that this is not practical. I am at the age whereIi need to get rid of some thing that others may have more use for. If things were different, i would choose not to sell my dad's car. Please ask questions before bidding. I will assist the buyer with any shipping details, however any and all expenses related to this topic are the responsibility of the buyer. This was a car used in Switzerland and there is no need of air-conditioning there as a result the one thing this car is NOT equipped with is factory air-conditioning. The radio is a Blaupunct (sp?) and receives short wave and an odd array of stations that are not what most people will care for. Please look at the photos and ask questions as they arise before bidding. |

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.
Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 to debut in Monterey
Mon, Aug 15 2016Mercedes surprised the car world last week when it teased an enormous, Maybach-badged coupe concept. Now we have a name and a debut date. Mercedes released the info in a second teaser image posted to its Facebook page. Called the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 – "Vision" equals concept and "6" denotes the length in meters – the new two-door will debut at Pebble Beach on Thursday. So yeah, here's another reason to get excited about Monterey Car Week. As for the teaser image, it's a head-on shot as opposed to the profile view that Mercedes released last week. The new view supports our theory that the super-skinny mirrors are cameras, and the shot also reveals new styling touches. The most noticeable are the very thin, un-Mercedes-like headlights – they flank a prominent, heavily polished waterfall grille that marks a significant departure from recent Mercedes products. A traditional Mercedes hood ornament sits above the grille's small "Maybach" designation. Kicking up the exposure in Photoshop doesn't reveal too much more detail – unlike last week's profile image – aside from a set of chrome strips that run along the sides of the hood. Autoblog's Monterey Car Week crew ships out for the left coast soon – expect more on the festivities, including the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6's debut, later this week.

Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership
Thu, 19 Dec 2013The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.
