Up for sale is a wide body 1988 Mercedes 560sec AMG.  I acquired this car recently in payment of a debt and don't know a lot about it. I do, however, know that the body on this car is extremely rare and I have never seen another car like it in my life.  I will do my best to provide as much information as possible, and can try to answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability. I cannot validate whether or not this is a genuine AMG Mercedes, or weather or not the body on it is original AMG. I know of no way to find this out, and it is the buyers responsibility to do all research on this issue before purchase.

The car has a clean Ohio title. The instrument cluster was missing when I received the car, so I inserted a spare that I had from another car, but it is not the original cluster, and it has over 200k on the odometer, as seen in the pictures.

The body/frame/chassis is what is being sold here.  In no way should somebody think they are buying a car that is drivable.  This car has no engine or transmission, or much of anything left in the engine bay.  It is bare, but very clean.  The interior seems to have been mostly removed at some point, as there are several loose pieces of interior trim. It seems like it is all there, but again, items like the dash, console, carpets, etc. are not secured in place fully.  The trunk has several extra pieces of trim and carpet that will be included. I do not know, unfortunately, why the original engine and transmission, interior, and other parts were removed in the first place. Pictures of anything that seems significant are posted.  If you require specific photos you do not see, please contact me and I will send them to you.

Everything on/in the car is included in the auction and will be sold as-is.  Meaning that every piece of carpet, plastic, etc.  that I have for this car will be included. In addition, the 20" wheels and nearly new tires shown are included so the vehicle can be moved.  They match the body nicely in size and shape, and have a nice deep dish that fits this car perfectly.

The overall quality of the body and paint is very good.  There are a few small imperfections in the rear bumper, and a damaged area about 3 inches long on the passenger front fender, with a hairline crack in the fiberglass in that area extending a bit beyond the damaged area.  The rest of the body is in really nice shape.  The vehicle is in the exact condition I received it in (other than adding a instrument cluster), and will be sold that way.  I haven't the heart or skill for a project like this, or I would already be driving it.

I can try to assist the buyer with loading the vehicle on a trailer, tow truck, shipping truck, etc., but all arrangements must be made by the buyer. Please contact me with any questions or to set up an appointment to inspect it. I should be able to respond to any inquiries within a few hours.  Thanks for looking!

Mercedes-Benz F 015 Luxury in Motion has an absurd name, remarkable vision

Tue, Jan 13 2015

We often hear about cars that don't look good in pictures. "You need to see it in person," people say. Well, the Mercedes-Benz F 015 Luxury in Motion, which the company brought to Detroit after debuting it at CES, is just such a vehicle. Besides having a very silly name and looking, according to one Autoblog editor, like a suppository, this is a genuinely striking piece of design when viewed in the metal. The shape is aerodynamic in the extreme, but still features subtle details and styling cues. Whether that be the small dorsal ridge on the roof, the simply huge wheels and the Cylon-like, wraparound taillights, despite a fairly uniform shape, there's still a lot to see on the F 015. That's doubly true in the cabin, which is typically luxurious, while also doubling as a rolling lounge withs eating for four. Accessible via barn doors that open up to 90 degrees, the F 015's cabin features fine woods and leathers, as well as seats that swivel around to face each other. Screens abound (there are six in total), and gesture-and-touch-based controls are the order of the day, producing what Mercedes calls a "digital arena." As an autonomous vehicle, MB doesn't offer a lot of technical information on propulsion or guidance systems, simply saying that the pod-like concept could accommodate an electric motor and fuel cell. Take a look at our gallery of live images Mercedes' sci-fi vision, and if there's an auto show coming to your neck of the woods, get out and see this strange and impressive car.

Continental Automotive recalls 5 million airbag control units

Thu, Feb 4 2016

Takata isn't the only supplier having airbag problems. Rival manufacturer Continental Automotive Systems announced a recall of 5 million airbag control units fitted to vehicles from Honda, Fiat Chrysler Automotive, Mercedes-Benz, and even a certain Chrysler-based Volkswagen. This sweeping recall has actually been in progress for some time, although the exact scope is only now becoming evident. In October of 2015, Mercedes-Benz recalled 2008 and 2009 model year C- and GLK-Class vehicles because their Continental-made airbag control units could corrode. Such a condition could cause the airbags to deploy without cause or warning, or in the event of a crash, not deploy at all. You can read all about it in our post from last year. Now, Continental's recall is going wide. Alongside the already recalled C and GLK, you've already heard about the 2008 and 2009 Honda Accord airbag recall, which we reported on yesterday. Now, Fiat Chrysler is announcing the recall of the 2009 Dodge Journey, as well as the 2008 and 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country, and their rebadged counterpart, the Volkswagen Routan. Yes, one manufacturer is recalling another manufacturer's vehicle. The models listed above only amount to about 580,000 vehicles out of 5 million bad airbag control units. And since Continental will notify manufacturers who will then issue their own recalls, it's extremely likely that more brands and vehicles will be ensnared. Stay tuned.

Nissan edges out Tesla for most ZEV credits sold in California

Wed, Oct 22 2014

When it comes to California zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) credits last year, Nissan was selling and Mercedes-Benz was buying. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) put out its ZEV-credits numbers for the year that ended September 30, which is why we now know that Nissan, maker of the battery-electric Leaf, transferred 663.6 ZEV credits out of its account last year. That just edged out the 650.195 credits that Tesla sold. Chrysler's Fiat affiliate was a distant third, but its limited-production Fiat 500E was still able to generate some ZEV credits and then transfer out 235.2 of them. We don't know how much the buyers paid for these credits, since those details are kept private. It's an ever-changing rulebook over at CARB, anyway. On the flip side, Mercedes-Benz had to buy 663.6 ZEV credits in order to comply with clean vehicle-sales mandates in the most populous US state, indicative of the German automaker's gas-guzzling tendencies. Honda has cars that get better fuel economy than your average Benz, but its plug-in vehicles represent just a fraction of total sales and so it had to shell out for 542.5 ZEV credits. Chrysler-Fiat basically tread water, since the 237.8 ZEV credits it required for compliance canceled out gains on the other side of the ledger. Those Dodge Ram pickup trucks don't exactly help matters. Last year, Tesla sold the most ZEV credits while GM purchased the most. Overall, Californians bought about 3.5 million vehicles for the year that ended September 30, including 38,000 battery-electric vehicles, 30,000 plug-in hybrids and 570,000 conventional hybrids. The longstanding ZEV program means that California now has more than 100,000 ZEVs on its roads. Read this for more details on ZEV credit transfers in California.
