Description

I am a broker, I have been hired to sell this car. All the pictures, that you see in this auction, were taken by me, with an ordinary digital camera and then downloaded on this auction. They are the original photographs. They have not been touched or tampered with in any way. What you see are genuine pictures of a genuine car. I am very proud and honored to present this vehicle for auction on ebay. Not very often to cars come along, that have been lovingly taken care of, such as this vehicle. This auction I am presenting a 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC. Two door sedan, with rear wheel drive and very strong 190 horsepower, 4.5 liter V-8 engine. If you were to walk up to this car, you would think it brand new, it looks, feels and smells new. This car has been in Southern California since brand new. The first owner was an executive and used it for the first year, then his job supplied him with a car. The second owner, saw the car and fell in love with it. This car has always been garaged since brand new, the original "Walnut Brown" paint, is stunning, right down the incredible dual two tone pin stripes on the side and wheel wells as standard for the 450 SLC. The car has been kept completely original. The car has been meticulously maintained and repaired. All recalls by Mercedes-Benz have been completed to date. All services have been completed on the vehicle to date. It has a clean title. Clean car fax. The "Palomino" leather seats and surrounding upholstery are magnificent. All guages work as designed. The air conditioning is a cold as ice. The original radio works perfectly. This vehicle comes with owners manual, all service and maintenance records. Tires are new. Look at the pictures, look at the beautiful wheels, and chrome how they shine. You cannot tell the engine is running at stop signs. It has a smooth ride, and handles effortlessly. You cannot believe that this vehicle is over 30 years old, it is truly a treasure, especially with only 106,000 original miles. This owner made sure that this vehicle was always in perfect running order, and spared no expense. I would be hard pressed to find another in this condition. If you are looking, I strongly recommend that you take a second look at this beautiful car. Don't let this one get away.

The 450 SLC Story

They produced 31,000 450 SLC's during 1972 to 1980. The approximate MSRP ran about $41,592.00. This was one of the first sport sedans built for the public by Mercedes-Benz. This car came with a back seat. It's sister was the SL and that was just a two seater and the top came off. This car has a permanent or fixed top, with a sunroof, which added 1.2 inches to the vehicle height. They added 14.2 inches to the vehicle from the door to the wheel well and added a back seat. Mercedes-Benz at the time, was looking to come up with a vehicle that would compete with Citroen and Jaguar, and this was the car to do it. They added special louvers behind the back windows as a style feature and set it apart from the other models. There is no "B" pillar, so when all windows are down, it has a large openness and airy feeling. With the windows down and the sunroof open, I would say a nice drive up the coast in this car would be a beautiful drive. Autoweek at the time said of the 450 SLC, "The most superbly tuned motor carriage in the world, comfortable and agile."

Autoblog Minute: New Civic, FCA UAW Agreement, Frankfurt

Fri, Sep 18 2015

FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the Weekly Recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. FCA reached a tentative labor agreement with UAW leadership. The major focus of the new deal reportedly includes: the eventual elimination of the two-tier pay scale [00:00:30] and pooling worker health care. Now that a leadership agreement is in place, the deal will be sent to FCA's rank-and-file. FCA has about 36,000 hourly employees. We got a first look at the interior and exterior of the 10th-generation Civic. Honda expects the new sedan to dominate the C-segment when it hits dealerships later this fall. Civic coupe, five-door hatchback, Si and Type R will all come later. The 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show is in the books and there was a lot of news to get excited about. [00:01:00] Porsche introduced a fully electric concept car in the Mission E. If they make this car, Porsche could give Tesla nightmares. We also saw SUVs from Jaguar and Bentley. There were two beautiful Italian convertibles from Ferrari and Lamborghini. Meanwhile, Mercedes introduced a concept of their own in the IAA - a vehicle that experiments with adaptable aerodynamics. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. Plus we'll have some added insight on General Motors' deal to [00:01:30] avoid federal prosecution.

Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG spied in Sweden

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

We've spotted the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLA testing a couple times in recent months in getting closer to production form and shedding camouflage, but now it looks like we're see our first look at the AMG version of this compact crossover. The low ride height might trick some into thinking that we're just seeing the already-confirmed A45 AMG out testing, but the unique beltline, rear doors and side windows confirm this is some version of the GLA-Class.
What makes us so confident that this is the AMG model? Well, for starters, this prototype has beefier brakes with cross-drilled front and rear rotors and bigger front calipers, but it also sports dual exhaust outlets poking through the rear fascia and a suspension that has been lowered considerably. Our spy shooters said that this car's exhaust note made it almost certainly an AMG model.
Just to be clear, the GLA AMG will not be powered by a 4.5-liter engine. The closely related A45 AMG will carry the "45" in its name to celebrate the first 45 years of AMG, and our sources seem to indicate the AMG version of the GLA will do the same. We're expecting this sporty crossover to produce as much as 350 horsepower from its AMG-tuned four-cylinder engine, and like the all-new E63 AMG, it could very well come standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive.

2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class vs big luxury off-roaders: How they compare on paper

Mon, May 7 2018

During our first drive of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the all-new SUV's product manager was asked to identify competitors that might have been benchmarked in its development. The look on his face was about the same as if someone had asked him to recite King Lear in Klingon. As far as Andreas Hoeppel was concerned, the G 550 and AMG G 63 doesn't actually have a rival, or at least something the engineers and designers thought to compare it against. The G-Class is a G-Class, who cares what the other guys are doing? Well, in case you care, we figured we'd plug the new G-Class' specs into the old Autoblog Comparo Generator 3000 (TM) to see how the G 550 and AMG G 63 compare to the Range Rover and its mightiest SVAutobiography Dynamic model, plus the Lexus LX 570 and Bentley Bentayga V8. Frankly, Heir Hoeppel was onto something as each of these is wildly different. But, they do share some common elements: giant size and weight, ultra-lux interiors, and far more off-roading capability than other luxury SUVs offer and any of its owners are likely to ever utilize. Sad. So enjoy this trip down specification lane, and if you're still left hungry, you can always check out our Range Rover comparison or create your very own comparo. Off-Road Clearances and Capability All the fancy off-roading software and special cameras in the world won't do you a lick of good if your SUV is too close to the ground or has low-hanging body work that'll get easily ripped off. As such, check out each of these uber-SUV's ground clearance, approach and departure angles, and wading/fording depths. In this case, the Range Rover has an advantage due to its air suspension that can raise itself into an Off-Roading height that's a whopping 2 inches higher than the new G-Wagen. Sadly for itself, Lexus only provides figures for its air suspension when in normal height. It could match or surpass the Range Rover for all we know (but doubt it). As Land Rover does provide figures for the Range Rover's approach and departure angles in normal and Off-Road height, you can get an idea of just how much clearance the new G-Wagen has without any fancy (and expensive to fix) raising and lowering air suspension hardware. In fact, its departure angle is better than even the Range Rover's Off-Road height. Bentley doesn't provide any such information despite touting the Bentayga's surprising off-roading talents.
