I bought this car back in 2010 and it had 68,150 miles on it.  That means in the last 4 years only 2,216 miles were added to it.  It runs great, I just don't use it that often. I am the 3rd owner of it. The original owner bought it in Florida and it was moved here to PA, bought by the second and then by me.

As you can see in the pictures below, it's not a flawless show car- although it is an all original Mercedes.  The car was stored in a garage it's entire life and has no rust on it.  It was recently inspected here in PA.  The whole car was repainted in the original factory color.  The paint job was done by the previous owners brother who is a professional car painter at a new car dealership.  The only blemish on it is where it got dinged in a parking lot. (See picture) I have the touch up paint in the original color that you can take with you.

As far as the roof: I had the soft top replaced with a brand new top.  The plastic on the back is clear and can be seen through.  The hard top is currently residing in my basement.  I took it off the day I got the car since I wanted to run it as a convertible all the time.  It too was repainted along with the rest of the car and is flawless.  I have both original roof tools too.

The car runs great as I mentioned.  All miles are original.  The air conditioning needs work, that is to say it doesn't function.  When I bought the car, I didn't care about this since I wanted a convertible anyhow.  

I have the original manual and first aid kit as well.  I bought a new radio for it, so it has a CD player now.  The antenna itself retracts, but not all the way. (see picture)

Please keep in mind this is a 35 year old car.  For instance, the weatherstripping is functional and good, but it isn't going to look like it just rolled off the lot in Miami in 1979.  Also, the armrest is loose and could be fixed or replaced fairly easily.  The driver seat is very comfortable and shows the wear you might expect given the age.  Apparently there weren't many passengers since that seat is in great shape.  Anyone can come and inspect the car but must do that before bidding.  You can ask me for a picture of anything on the car and I'll either email it to you or add it to the pictures on here.  There is no warranty expressed or implied.

Again, please email any questions!

Race recap: 2015 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is Germany rising as sun sets

Mon, Nov 30 2015

Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver Nico Rosberg Rosberg doesn't attribute anything mystical to the form that got him ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton. He said simply, "Before it was close in the other direction, now it's close in this direction." Mercedes non-executive chairman Niki Lauda went further, saying Rosberg's "brain has switched." Under the desert spotlights it switched so far ahead that Lewis Hamilton qualified nearly four tenths behind the German. Kimi Raikkonen flew the scarlet for Ferrari in third position. Being three spots ahead of Valtteri Bottas gave Raikkonen a huge advantage in locking up fourth position in the driver's championship. Even if he doesn't care about it, as he's publicly stated, Ferrari probably does. Teammate Sebastian Vettel was classified 16th after the German slowed down after making a mistake on his final hot lap, and neither he nor his engineer realized how quickly times were falling on a cooling track. He'd be promoted to 15th when Lotus driver Romain Grosjean was penalized for a gearbox change. Sergio Perez knocked it out of the park for Sahara Force India, claiming fourth ahead of Daniel Ricciardo in fifth for Infiniti Red Bull Racing. Williams driver Bottas was in sixth, in front of the second Force India of Nico Hulkenberg and the second Williams of Felipe Massa in eighth. Daniil Kvyat ensured both Red Bulls were in the top 10 with his ninth position, and Carlos Sainz got the upper hand in qualifying over his Toro Rosso teammate Max Verstappen for the final time this year, rounding out the top 10. Beyond Nico Rosberg's mind, one of his weaknesses was his slow starts. Those are stronger, too, the German tearing off away from the field when the lights went out. Hamilton bogged enough to have to defend from Perez behind, the Mexican trying to slide between Hamilton and Raikkonen on the run to the first corner. Rosberg held the lead into Turn 1 and likewise held it through Turn 21 on the last lap of the race, only ceding it during pit stops. Rosberg's 14th victory gets him level with Graham Hill on the wins list – on the anniversary of Hill's death in a plane crash – and marks the first time in his 10-year F1 career that he's won three races in a row. More proof of his strength: the last few races we haven't heard Rosberg ask for regular updates about what Hamilton's doing, he just drives. Hamilton gave it his best but that wasn't enough.

Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.
