Hello and thank you for visiting my auction.
This auction is for 1 absolutely beautiful 1966 Mercedes Benz 230SL. The car has a brand new restoration done by an incredible body shop in Miami Florida. 95% of the car has been refinished.. From a brand new paint job, to new electric and wiring through out the majority of the motor. This car is my from my personal collection. I bought the car about 1 year ago and spent $17,000.00 during its restoration. I purchased the car from the 2nd owner and it was 100% original!!! I have pictures of the car when I first purchased it if you'd like to see. Please send me your email and I will gladly send them. Below is a list of things to know about the car.
ON A SCALE OF 1-10, 10 BEING PERFECT, THIS CAR IS A SOLID 7 and 3/4!
Exterior: The 230 has a brand new, 6 month old Pearl White paint job. It is absolutely stunning! Originally, the car was white and had some rust on the rear fenders, and I had my body shop cut the metal and weld new metal back on. (It was only about a square inch on both rear fenders). I then had them paint the car with a high quality paint, and as you can see from the finished product in the pictures, it came out amazing and I was very happy with the finished product. ($7500.00 value). The lines and body panels on this car are EXTREMELY straight. This car was 100% original when I purchased it and the previous owner told me it had never been crashed or repainted! In other words, the body panel skins look like the day they came out of the factory in 1966. I also had the trunk lid replaced with a brand new one and that alone was $1,400.00. As you can see from the pictures, there isn't one dent on any body panel on the car!
I've also added a brand new Navy Blue canvas top. As you can see from the pictures, it folds perfectly into the top-compartment and only takes about a minute to put the top down. ($1300.00 value)
The tires on the car are in excellent shape and are only 1 year old. They only have an estimated 2,000 miles on them.
The car also has all of the polished metal trim. About 90% of it was re-installed. I have the other few pieces needed, but I have not had time to take it back to Miami where I had the car re-stored. I was told that the car still has some rust underneath.
Interior: The interior is also brand new! I had everything taken out of the car when it was being restored at the body shop and taken to an upholstery shop in Miami as well. As you can see from the pictures, the seats, dash, visors, and convertible top-housing were completely re-done. I tried to match the original color of the interior which was a "baseball clay" like color. There is a picture of one of the original door handles on the seat for comparison. Once the car was put back together at the body shop, I drove the car back to the upholstery shop and had them carpet all of the flooring, rear storage space, and the trunk with brand new Navy blue carpet to match the Convertible top. ($3,000.00 value)
Motor: The car runs absolutely incredible! I had 90% of the wiring through out the motor and car replaced as well as a new battery. I also had all 12 rocker arms/lifters replaced about 3 months ago. The car sounds excellent, is quiet relative to its age, and fires right up. ($4,500.00 value) IT DOES NOT AND NEVER HAS OVER HEATED!
There is only 1 very small issue that I can think of mechanically. There is a very small oil leak coming from a gasket which I've already purchased and will come with the car. The car will also come with a few other brand new cosmetic and mechanical parts which I've purchased to simply anticipate any thing else mechanically although everything is is running perfect.
If you have any questions at all, please message me right away. PLEASE TRUST my incredible feedback. I have sold countless cars, boats, jetski's, watches, and several other high end items that total well over $1,000,000.00 in sales on ebay, all from my personal collection, and as you can see, my feedback is almost perfect! You are getting an absolute quality car!
This is your chance to get a car valued by Hagerty Insurance @ $30,000.00 for a great price! Very Low Reserve! Best of luck!

The 10 car brands most expensive to maintain over 10 years
Mon, Apr 22 2024Car maintenance has got to be one of the least fun things you can do with your free time, right behind going to the dentist and filing your taxes. However, depending on the brand you buy, your time spent at the shop could be much more than you bargained for. Consumer Reports’ new study on the most- and least-expensive-to-maintain car brands found that European car companies are most likely to break your wallet with costs nearly five times that of the automakers at the other end of the spectrum. Land Rover had the highest ten-year maintenance costs, at an average of $19,250. Porsche was second worst with $14,090 in costs. 10 car brands most expensive to maintain over 10 years: Land Rover: $19,250 Porsche: $14,090 Mercedes-Benz: $10,525 Audi: $9,890 BMW: $9,500 Volvo: $9,285 Infiniti: $8,500 Acura: $7,800 Mini: $7,625 Subaru: $7,200 The Euro brands at the “top” of this list arenÂ’t all that surprising. Land Rover has consistently landed as one of the most expensive vehicle brands to maintain for years now, though Porsche is generally viewed as being one of the more solid performance brands. That could suggest that some models donÂ’t always require more repairs, but the fixes they do need are significantly more expensive. Tesla, Buick, and Toyota were the three cheapest to maintain car brands, with 10-year maintenance costs of $4,035, $4,900, and $4,900, respectively. Consumer Reports noted that these numbers could be slightly skewed due to the fact that some automakers offer free maintenance for the first few years of ownership, and all companies cover their new vehicles for at least a few years after the purchase. Routine maintenance is a great way to avoid costly repairs over time, as itÂ’s much cheaper to catch a problem before it starts causing other issues. Check your oil, rotate your tires, and avoid driving like a wild person, and youÂ’ll likely fare much better than others, even if you own one of the scarier-to-maintain brands.
Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury SUV concept shown in leaked images
Fri, Apr 20 2018Just days ago, we posted the interior teaser image Mercedes-Maybach released of its Ultimate Luxury concept due to be presented at the Beijing Motor Show. Now photos of the entire vehicle, inside and out, have leaked online courtesy of the manufacturer. Thanks to the concept's own microsite being live for a short while, we've gotten a good look of the concept. And it's not just a dressed-up GLS by any means, even if there might be a GLS platform underneath it all: It's a high-riding four door sedan with a clearly formed trunk instead of a traditional SUV shape. There's a big waterfall grille flanked by low, aggressive three-unit headlights, and the detailing is a combination of SUV cues and something a lot more luxurious. It's not easy to design a three-box sedan that's still recognizably an SUV. Inside, there's white leather and rose-gold detailing everywhere. But the big deal is the powertrain, which in the concept is all-electric. The all wheel drive is propelled with four electric motors, with a combined power output of 750 horsepower. The battery, said to be a flat underfloor design, is good for 80 kWh and an EPA range of over 200 miles, and the vehicle's top speed is limited to 250 km/h, or 155 mph. There's DC fast charging at up to 350kW, meaning that the range can be boosted by 60 miles in just five minutes, and induction charging is also available. All in all, the vehicle reminds us of the 2009 Lagonda Luxury Utility Vehicle concept, which was also created around a three-box sedan shape and also based on a Mercedes platform, GL-Class in that case. It did not yield a production version, but maybe the Vision Ultimate Luxury will.

Firing of M-B boss upheld
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
