Up for auction is my 1995 Mercedes AMG C36.  If you know these cars then you know how rare they are.  This is the first AMG sold through Mercedes and depending on where you look there were only 200-400 brought to the US.  I have only had this car for a couple of months, I'm a BMWCCA member and bought this because I've always liked them and it's the first one I've seen for sale locally in the silver/black color combo I like.  Since I bought it I've had the need come up to buy a truck so unfortunately the car has to go.  The previous owner replaced the troublesome engine wire harness and also replaced the head gasket and had the head decked and checked.  I have receipts for over $3,000 for that work about 10k miles ago.  The car has a nice stance sitting on H&R springs and Bilstein Sport shocks.  The ride is still very nice and not sacrificed by the springs.  It has factory AMG staggered 17" monoblock wheels.


Since I've owned it I replaced the front tires (rears are still great tread), changed out the grille to a factory piece (I'll also include the blackout grill that came with the car).  I also changed out the transmission filter and fluid using synthetic.  

The body is very straight and in great shape, the only dent I've noticed is a small on in the driver's door that could easily be fixed by a paintless guy if you cared to do that.  There is no rust on the car.  The antenna is broken off but I'll include a new mast that I purchased for the car.

The interior is VERY nice.  The only issues being the headliner is dropping in the rear and the woodgrain panels have some cracks.  Power seats work great, sunroof and all windows work properly.  The driver's side door lock works some of the time, the other 3 and trunk work great.  AC and heater work great as new.  Factory radio works but the display does not show up so you can't see where it's tuned.  The car is equipped with a factory cell phone that works along with the panel under the radio for hands free use (of course there is no service and you probably can't get a carrier assigned to it, but it's still cool).

The engine runs great and has not given me any issues.  I did notice after purchase that the intake crossover tube is cracked so that should be replaced.  The transmission shifts great.  The factory AMG exhaust sounds great and has the chrome AMG tips at the rear bumper.  The fuel gauge works when it's in a good mood.  I fill it up with 93 octane premium when the trip meter hits 200 so it's not really an issue for me.

Please look at all the pictures and ask any questions before bidding.  I've priced the car less than what I paid for it so I can sell it quickly and get a truck.  I require a $500 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of the end of the auction and the balance within 5 days via certified check, wire transfer, or cash in person.  I can assist with shipping from my end but it's up to you to pick a shipper and get that scheduled.  If you want to fly in and get the car I can most likely pick you up at IAH airport depending on when you arrive.  Being a used car, there is no warranty.

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.

2015 Malaysian F1 GP springs hot, humid surprises [spoilers]

Sun, Mar 29 2015

In the two weeks since Australia both Mercedes and Ferrari spoke of the improved performance from their respective cars. In Malaysia, Ferrari showed it. Lewis Hamilton still put his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole position, but Sebastian Vettel got within two whiskers of the Brit, lining up second just 0.074 behind. Afterward, Vettel said Ferrari could win the race if everything went well. But in qualifying we didn't know how much of Ferrari's performance was truly down to the car and how much was down to the wet weather that struck near the beginning of Q2. The rain didn't hamper Nico Rosberg's run – the German said "I just didn't drive good enough" – and he took third spot in the second Mercedes-AMG Petronas. Showing what the Infiniti Red Bull Racing chassis can do when the power unit is working properly, teammates Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat grabbed fourth and fifth. Whippersnapper Max Verstappen, in his second race, qualified in sixth with an excellent drive through the rain; just 0.030 behind Kvyat, he said he could have got fifth if he hadn't had a running problem with his brakes. Williams head of vehicle performance Rob Smedley said he wouldn't complain about Mercedes' advantage, but Felipe Massa has spent the whole season so far banging the alarm about Ferrari's pace. He says Williams has lost its straight-line advantage, part of the reason the first Grove car is back in seventh, while Valtteri Bottas is in eighth. Between them was Romain Grosjean in the Lotus, but he got dropped two positions for a pit-lane infraction in Q2, so he'll be tenth. Ahead of him is Marcus Ericsson in the Sauber, who would lead the charge to turn in another surprise for the Swiss team. But the real surprise came from the Scuderia Ferrari, who, on a bright, sunny day proved that they don't need to add water for race-winning pace. While Hamilton got made usual awesome start at the lights, Vettel channeled that other famous German Ferrari driver and immediately cut across the track to intimidate Rosberg, maintaining his second place position into the first turn. Arguably the race-winning move came three laps later at that same turn, when Ericsson plunged in too fast and swapped ends, beaching the rear of his Sauber in the gravel trap. The safety car came out when the recovery truck emerged to retrieve the Sauber, and nearly all of the front-runners took to the pits to swap out of the medium tires. Vettel, however, didn't.

Mercedes A-Class next up for facelift

Sun, Jan 11 2015

This is the coming Mercedes-Benz A-Class, and in case the paucity of camouflage didn't make it clear, it won't look much different the one that's been on sale for all of two years. Caught in Sweden braving the temperatures, its exterior updates aren't expected to go much further than a reworked face that brings it in line with the recently updated B-Class, including a new grille, headlights and taillights, and bumpers. The cabin is where most of the work is being done, to give it a better punch against the BMW 1 Series. A tweaked dash cluster, better fabrics and materials, the eight-inch tablet-style nav/multimedia screen, and ambient lighting should join the party. The updated range of B-Class engines should also make the jump into the A. A photo caught at a dealer meeting in Barcelona last year makes us pretty sure it will be introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September this year. Until then, there are spy shots to peruse.
