Here is a beautiful, solid, straight, documented 1975 450 SEL that was one family owned (father/son) from May 1975 until late 2012, when it was sold to the mechanic who serviced the car thru a shop, for many years and those receipts are included totaling almost $3000 from 8/09 until 6/13 and fewer than 1000 miles during that time. New belts, total brakes including calipers, tune up, valve cover gaskets, battery, tires and more. Here is an example of miles driven based on service records recorded in the included Mercedes Service Book:

5/20/75 671 Miles

9/15/75 4283

5/12/77 20,026

6/26/78 30,830

10/29/82 49,967

5/7/86 62,981

3/8/90 75,000

8/20/09 80,725

I did not include all the records but this gives you an idea of the way the car was used. For the last approx. 20 years, the car was stored for use at a summer home here in Michigan by the Illinois owners and used during the summer and serviced by local garage when needed. The car surprising had one very, very professional repaint almost 20 years ago. I had to look very hard to find any sign of such as surely it was disassembled as much as possible by a professional shop. As photos show the paint is gorgeous!!!!

The interior is beautiful as shown. The removable floor carpets (like a mat) could stand to be redone as drivers side and drivers rear are in bad shape. I have not looked into replacement of them, but they could easily be put back in and nice floor mats put over them to cover the aged/worn spots. The dash is without cracks, the sunroof works flawlessly and even the cruise control works! The power locks are a bit tired and probably from little use. I drove the car about 80 miles today and it runs like nothing else I have ever driven. it was quite the luxury car of it's time. The V-8 sends this car down the road like you are in a smooth riding luxury train.... Hard to get used to the fact that 38 years ago a top of the line car that cost 3 times what a new Corvette cost, didn't come equipped with a right side outside mirror!!!

The hood insulation was removed years ago as pieces were falling off and burning, scaring the owner of an engine fire, and nothing has been replaced but think it to be a common item with some older cars. The lights work and car is very, very solid without dents, or abuse which is true of so many one owner old cars..... The dated factory radio was replaced at some time with a removable face, Alpine CD player and even the power antenna works!.

I am offering this car that has the miles of many 2 or 3 year old cars at $6599.... This car qualifies for historical plates and insurance for attending car shows or dry summer night drives or just use it as an inexpensive daily driver instead of paying $20,000 for a common day econo box and enjoy!

Available to ship worldwide and can keep stored inside secure awaiting your shipper that you arrange. I ask for a $500 paypal deposit at time of purchase and balance to be wired to me within 3 days. The title + documentation will be overnighted to you upon receipt of full good funds.

Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."

Leno shows off his current project cars

Mon, Aug 10 2015

When your car collection grows to the enormous size of Jay Leno's, adding the usual muscle cars or European exotics loses the allure. It becomes necessary to start taking the things in weird directions. Leno is proving just that with his latest tour of many of the ongoing projects currently happening in the garage. With everything from Harley-Davidson generators to '50s hot rods on display just in this short video, there's something any fan can love. The place is like an automotive wonderland. For most people any one of these projects would be an absolute dream. For example, Leno has a copy of a one-off Mercedes-Benz racecar transporter that is nearly ready to drive. Another project hasn't even started yet but already seriously piqued our interest. Leno obtained a very ratty 1966 Volvo 122S wagon, but rather than just a restoration he's has a plan to get a V8 with a flat-plane crank from Volvo performance specialists Polestar. Another project on the way should provide a significant upgrade in performance, while still being quite green. Leno's team has already rebuilt the frame and wooden body from a 1914 Detroit Electric, and with that work done they've started dreaming of a modern drivetrain for it. One proposed candidate for the swap has been to install motor from a Nissan Leaf and a bank of lithium-ion batteries.
