THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this rare classic 1977 Mercedes Benz 450SLC!
Finished in beautiful original color light silvery blue over navy, this blue license plate California car has been driven just 65,700 miles since new. The six-digit odometer works [and did when I acquired it]. This four passenger coupe version of the more available 450Sl sports the 4/5 liter V8 engine mated to a three spe3ed automatic transmission with four-wheel disc brakes, electric sunroof and windows, working factory fog lamps and more. This 450SLC is being sold with clear and clean California title ONLY to non-California buyer. This is a beautiful classic find for about the cost of the sales tax alone on a new SL350!

PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this 450SLC is in VERY NICE overall
condition! The paint is deep, lustrous and downright stunning with only a few isolated blemishes including a corroding spot under the front badge which needs to be reattached, along with two other little paint bubbling areas and a couple very small rock nicks and scrapes. The original chrome trim is very presentable, the wheel covers have some light fading, the tires are in fair condition and the louvered vent pieces have peeling paint. I would rate the exterior a solid 8.5 on a scale of 1-10.

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this classic Benz is in fair to good condition overall. All of the gauges including the odometer, speedometer, tach, oil pressure, temperature works as they should including the blinkers, lights, horn windows [all four] and sunroof. The radio does not power up and the hvac seems to be stuck blowing a little heat with a/c inop. The door panels and headliner are nice while the two front seats and top of rear seat need redoing. The dash has some heat cracking and the carpets are tattered on driver side.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic Benz starts well with a good strong engine that could use a tuneup. There is no smoking or dripping. The transmission up and downshifts well though reverse is sluggish, the suspension is smooth and supple with no clunks, rattles or shakes and the braking is smooth and true. Thirty seven years later this is a still a very nice solid driving motor car!

Audi and Mercedes both outsell BMW in January

Tue, Feb 10 2015

There won't be any celebrations in Munich this month, as BMW was outsold by arch-nemeses Audi and Mercedes-Benz. The Bavarian company finished behind Audi in January, which took the top spot for the first time since June of last year, Bloomberg reports. Ingolstadt rode high on a 10-percent bump in sales, while Mercedes saw a larger 14 percent increase. BMW, meanwhile, only saw a modest 6.3-percent sales increase last month, thanks in large part to its struggles in China. The company's sales there increased at about half the rate of its chief competitors, with a 7.9-percent jump to Mercedes and Audi's roughly 15-percent increases. Perhaps more worrying for BMW, though, is that this could become something of a trend for the company. According to Bloomberg, issues with Chinese dealers who cancelled orders over sales targets and bonuses combined with what the publication calls aging models, could spell bad news for the German marque. "This looks like a pretty significant decline in growth compared to Mercedes and Audi," Bankhaus Metzler analyst Juergen Pieper told Bloomberg. "I think this will continue during the next few months." News Source: BloombergImage Credit: Matthias Schrader / AP Earnings/Financials Audi BMW Mercedes-Benz

The Mercedes G-Class gets the full Maybach treatment before the curtain finally closes

Mon, Feb 6 2017

Like the hotdog and soda combo at Costco or the official website for the 1996 movie Space Jam, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has soldiered on nearly unaltered since its birth. Sure, there have been variants like the wonderfully over-the-top G63 6x6, but the G-Wagen is essentially the same squared-off SUV with rifle-bolt locks and doors with enough mass to support a minor gravity field. Spy shots show a replacement is finally on the horizon, but based on the leaked YouTube video above and Instagram post below, it looks like the current model is going to get the full Mercedes-Maybach Landaulet treatment before the curtain finally closes. While there has been no official word from the automaker, all signs point to a genuine Mercedes-Maybach product. The vehicle is badged as a G650, which falls in line with other current V12-powered Mercedes-Maybach products. The Maybach name and badge are found in all the expected places. The license closely matches other Mercedes German-manufacturer plates. The carbon fiber fender flares and portal axles look like they were taken from the G550 4x42. The latter means, despite the increased wheelbase, this new model should still be a formidable off-road machine. This content is hosted by a third party.

That means high-quality leather surfaces throughout and an increased focus on rear seat comfort and convenience. If this is indeed a G650, it's packing a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 under the hood that churns out 630 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque. The partial convertible top is what gives this the Landaulet moniker. According to the text on this Instagram post, there will only be 99 examples produced. Look for a full reveal in the next few months. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG rumbles on stage 4Matic style

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Bruce Hornsby and his soothing piano skills helped introduce us to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but the monstrous E63 AMG sedan needed no entrance music as it rumbled on stage. The 550-horsepower (and up) sedan sat proudly alongside the rest of the redesigned E-Class on stage at the Detroit Auto Show, but stood miles apart in intention and execution.
In addition to a choice of sedan and wagon body styles, the E63 AMG will also offer buyers the choice of the standard 550 hp or an upgraded 577-hp S-Model; regardless of output, all 2014 E63 AMG models will come standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
We already saw the E63 AMG's aggressive styling last week, but now we have a full assortment of live images for you to enjoy as well as the Mercedes-Benz press release, which is also posted below.
