I'm offering my 1972 Mercedes 350SL. She's a late model car, built in the Fall of 72. Factory options include power locks, trunk release and the aluminum wheels, now polished.
This is a beautiful driver quality car, probably a #3 condition. I'm a collector, not a dealer, but I've been trading cars and motorcycles for more than 20 years. Although it's been a while since my last offer, see my feedback history and I believe you'll know that I am honest and straight up about any vehicle I offer.
This car was completely redone at some point. I know this because the factory color was Maple Yellow over Red Interior, and I'm glad the change was made because the Red on Tan color combo is much better in my opinion. Tan interior is new not dyed. I bought this car in the Fall, while looking for a 280 sel or 560 sel....it was just too nice to pass up.
I drive the car every week and she runs out beautifully, not a single issue to speak of....in fact, even the A/C works. I don't believe the motor has ever been apart, but because of the color change and the fact that the entire engine bay was redone, I'm sure the drive train was pulled at that time. This is a great driver quality car, but it isn't a show car. The paint is in great shape, but probably 7/8 years old at this point, so there is minor wear, a few chips and dings, etc. This is a rust free car, but there is one small bubble, about the size of a quarter, under the paint on the lower right front fender. You can see it in the pics, but you have to be looking for it.
The vacuum power locks aren't working, but that's the only thing I've found that doesn't seem to function. Oh, and the darn odometer went out on me while driving it a few weeks ago. The clear, box A title shows about 85,000, now odo shows 93,889 and I believe that to be original, but the odometers in these cars go out frequently so it's hard to tell. Power windows work great, brakes are good, motor runs like a top, A/C blows cold, but I never use it so it may need a refresh. Tires are in good shape, but if I kept her, I'd put a new set on. Dash has a few small cracks and the sun visors are swollen.
Hard top is great and the soft top is like brand new, in fact I've never used it at all.
I have over $5,000 worth of receipts, plus owners manual and top tools.
I love this car and I'd drive it from coast to coast without any hesitation.
Hagerty puts #3 cars at $15k, but I'm willing to let it go for a great deal.

Mercedes celebrates with World Championship edition SL63
Mon, Dec 1 2014Mercedes has plenty to be celebrating at the moment, having just won the Formula One World Championship in spectacular style – taking the constructors' title by a huge margin and the top two slots in the drivers' standings as well. It almost goes without saying that the German outfit would celebrate with a special edition, and that's just what we're looking at here. Presented at a special celebratory Stars & Cars event in Stuttgart in front of 50,000 jubilant fans, the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG World Championship 2014 Collector's Edition is based on Benz's twin-turbo V8-powered roadster but with some choice upgrades. Two versions will be offered: one in black with gold accents (displayed with the Silverstone circuit layout), the other in white with silver accents (and the Hockenheim map). One was designed by Lewis Hamilton, the other by Nico Rosberg. We'll let you sort out which one was done by which, but either way there'll only be 19 examples, each dedicated to a different grand prix circuit in the championship which Mercedes positively dominated – winning all but three, scoring eleven one-two finishes and landing on the podium at each and every one.
2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
Mercedes making aggressive plans for Chinese market
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Mercedes-Benz is preparing a major product offensive to counteract lagging sales in the Chinese market, aiming 20 new or updated models at the People's Republic in the next two years, according to a report by Reuters. The plan is part of MB's so-called 2020 Initiative, which will see the Stuttgart-based manufacturer dump 2 billion Euros ($2.67 billion) into its Chinese market vehicles in a bid to boost sales to 300,000 units by 2015.
Were it to succeed, China would become the largest market for the Silver Arrow, outpacing Germany and the United States. Leading the charge will be the redesigned E-Class, which is set to launch in China this week. That will quickly be followed by the S-Class, and eventually by the GLA-Class in 2014.
Mercedes has struggled in China, especially relative to its German competition, BMW and Audi. Where Mercedes saw a mere four-percent increase in 2012 sales to 206,150 units, Audi was up a staggering 32 percent, while BMW's numbers jumped 41 percent. While some voices, according to Reuters, accuse Munich and Ingolstadt of boosting their numbers through hefty incentives, the fact remains that Mercedes was just walloped by its competitors last year.
