I am selling my My 1979 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL 6.9 for sale to restore or for parts. this car has been in storage since 2003 in doors. the sad thing is that the car was stored in side but the car was backed in front of a window which unfortunately let the sun come in to the back window for 12+ years. the UV in the sun light destroyed the back seats from sitting so long in the same spot. This car is unique in that its a Me cum auction car which means that the car in 2003 was a show car with low mileage. I have some papers to verify this. I am the 2nd Titled owner of this car. because I am Moving to Seattle due to my health and have other cars to ship, I cannot bring this car with me so its being sold for a bargain price to move the car. I WILL NOT take anything below 4,500  and if anyone who knows these cars knows the that mileage and the condition warrant the sale much higher. so.. I will stop the bid if someone wants the car for 5,000 but once bidding starts I will not stop it until the end of the bidding. I have photos of the car in 2003 trim before the storage if needed.I have paper work that will be given showing the Me cum heritage. 
The 6.9 was the top of the line car for Mercedes Benz from 1977-1979. it has the 417cc liter dry sump racing engine that MB also used in its limousines make this car the fastest Sedan in the world for many years. Only 1,700 were imported to the united states and 517  (figures vary) were made in 1979 making this car rare indeed. this peculiar car was at one time a show car but unfortunately the car was stored in a barn and forgotten when the Original owner died and only recently has been brought out to the day light. 
needs: car has not been started in several years though at the time of storage it was driven in and parked with NO mechanical issues.   the car as you can see has settled ( as they all do with this type of suspension) the engine does turn over but has not been started by a certified MB mechanic, I agree with him that  we would recommend draining the gas tank and maybe cleaning the spark plugs before starting. there should be no reason that the car would not start as there are no mechanical issues at the time of initial storage. the worst on the car would be the back leather seats as seen in the pictures, there are some rust bubbles on the paint particularly on the hood and near the sun roof but other wise the car is in good condition retaliative to its age .Once restored this car will bring easily between 15-32,000 depending of the level of restoration. At any given time there are maybe 1 or no 6.9's listed on Ebay or any other online source. this car cannot be driven home due to the tune up I would give it to get it running ( yes  some have asked..) if there are any other questions please ask, and bid accordingly 40748 2709c and good luck!

VW, Fiat, Mercedes could be CNG winners in Europe

Fri, Dec 12 2014

Fiat ads in the US try to play up the exotic, sexy side of Italian culture. On the home front in Italy, however, passenger-vehicle sales are marked by something less edgy and quite a bit more practical: the growth of compressed-natural-gas (CNG) powered car sales. In fact, Italy is leading a group of European countries where CNG sales are on the upswing and may be benefiting automakers like VW, Fiat and Mercedes-Benz, according to Automotive News. VW started sales of its Golf TGI natural-gas vehicle this year – the company's fourth in Europe – while Mercedes-Benz added a natural-gas B-class model. Fiat accounts for about 50 percent of CNG vehicles sold on the continent. In all, Europe's CNG sales through September totaled about 67,000, up seven percent from a year earlier, Automotive News Europe says, citing research firm JATO Dynamics. And the number of CNG vehicles on Europe's roads could jump tenfold within the next decade. The draw is a combination of lower refueling prices and a CNG drivetrain that typically emits less CO2 than diesel vehicles. As for Italy, about five percent of new-vehicle sales are CNG. To put that into perspective, hybrids, battery-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and diesels combined to account for about 4.2 percent of US vehicle sales last year.
