I am basically giving this G Wagen away at this price. Needs to go now! Buy it now price is only a few hundred more than reserve to weed out non paying bidders. If you have zero feedback or no paypal acct please contact me before bidding. Secondly this is a 1985 G class wagon W460 but i had to list as a 1980 because Ebay cant configure the vin number. Selling a very nice Mercedes G280 Rare Air conditioning! Unleaded gas vehicle. Made for U.S. driving, nothing special needed to drive. Dirt cheap registration and insurance.  Factory running boards. New Keyless entry. New high end stereo with ipod hookup. This G Wagon was one of the very rare imported by Europa and was made for U.S. driving. Normal speedometer etc. Manual five speed Transmition makes it very fun to drive. 4x4 was just thoroughly gone through last year and functions great! Drives at highway speeds with no problems. Over $5,000 spent last year on everything from new gas tank, rear springs,sending unit, fuel filter,air filter,shocks, to high end Kenwood stereo system that is Bluetooth and Ipod capable and keyless entry alarm system. New tires. Factory 18" Mercedes wheels. Retains Titanium silver factory paint and unlike most out there has very little rust, a small amount next to the gas cap and some bubbles around the windshield. Frame and undercarraige are undercoated to prevent rust. Zero structural rust. Very clean underneath. factory cloth and leather interior is very clean. Dash area is like new, headliner is great. Some wear to drivers seat, others are excellent. All glass is perfect no cracks or rock chips, with dark tint. This G Wagen is fuel efficient as well and is very reliable with no major computers or electric systems that can break. It also never needs emission testing and the registration is dirt cheap. it is the ultimate off road vehicle. Long wheel base. My original plans were to paint it all Mercedes pearl white and recover the seats with black leather. I just don't have the heart to do it because the factory paint (with the exception of some minor bubbles as pictured) is just too nice and someone will surely love the retro look of the interior. The neat thing about these is that they look almost the same as the new models that cost around $165,000. Ive seen this model cloned to look just like the brand new G500, the body is almost identical. When driving this it gets all the looks because it is such an unusual and large truck, it towers over most SUV trucks and is built like a tank.  With that being said it would look amazing modernized with new bigger wheels and off road style tires. It already has modern luxuries in the new Kenwood ipod system and keyless entry. It also comes with genuine black sheepskin covers not installed. Rear brakes are a bit soft and will need work. These are easy rigs to work on and the parts cost a fraction of the new ones. Imagine owning a G-class for less than a Honda with easy maintenence!  I am selling it way below market value so someone will get a good deal on a timeless style truck that will last forever and actually appreciate as you drive. I welcome any and all inspections prior to auction end. Ask all questions and inspect before bidding. I can help with transport anywhere. Thank you.

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion

Wed, Jun 17 2015

While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts

Thu, Sep 17 2015

Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner – all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place – MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place – ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place – JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.

Mercedes-Benz introduces new heavy security M-Class Guard model

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new addition to the company's line of personal security vehicles. The M-Class Guard features bullet-proof side windows made with special laminated glazing and a polycarbonate inner layer to protect occupants from shards of glass. Mercedes says the M-Class Guard meets protection level VR4 according to the Bullet Resistant Vehicles 2009 standards, based on testing from the independent Ulm-based Ballistics Bureau, which means it can withstand .357 Magnum and .44 fire from multiple angles. It can also stand up to the DM51 hand grenade when equipped with optional floor armoring. Why skimp?
Buyers looking for protection from the world's literal slings and arrows can opt for the ML350 BlueTEC with its 258 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. With 457 pound-feet of torque, the oil-burner should have no trouble hustling the privileged class about. Of course, the ML500 offers a bit more punch courtesy of a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Prices start at 105,050 euros for the diesel and 118,650 euros for the V8. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
