I purchased this unmolested, rust free, beauty from a very prominent Plastic Surgeon in the St Petersburg Florida area a little less then 10 years ago. It was all original except for the radio, and it had been very well maintained mechanically. Though rust free, the paint was very weathered from the hot Florida sun. After driving it home to Illinois from Florida I spent the next year removing all the bright work and trim, removing the doors, hood, trunk, top, interior, etc. and then stripped the body to bare metal of the tired paint. I had the paint color computer matched and repainted the car in a very nice base coat/clear coat finish. After hours of hand buffing the car shows beautifully, and the color almost has a patina effect by itself, which would make you think the car had been kept in a time capsule for 40 years had you not known otherwise. The Interior has been left alone and was reinstalled after the paintwork was done. Only change to the interior was new carpet of the same type and color as the original that was taken out, and the installation of a nice radio with a cd changer in the trunk for drivability. I have a brand new correct soft top for the car that has not yet been installed, but will ship with the car if not installed first. This car has been meticulously maintained mechanically and with less then 35K on the odometer it drives like when it was brand new. Tires have very good tread. The breaks, suspension, engine, transmission, etc. have all been kept in top shape. I have enjoyed this car as my sunday afternoon cruiser in the summer and would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. It is ready to take to the country club or for a cruise down the highway. Because of the attractive bumpers of this first year 450 SL, it has much better lines and attracts attention wherever you drive it. I am getting up in age and have decided to sell some of my cars, as I cannot drive them all anymore. It is time for someone else to have the opportunity to enjoy this great German Classic. The car can stay in storage where it is at for as long as reasonably necessary for you to make shipping arrangements once paid for. You will not be disappointed by this original beauty. |

Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.
2017 Infiniti QX30 price anounced ahead of September launch
Tue, Aug 2 2016The 2017 Infiniti QX30 will start at $30,945 for the base model and will max out at $39,495 for the Sport trim. The oversized hatchback will be available in six different trims: the QX30, QX30 Luxury, QX30 Premium, QX30 Sport, QX30 Luxury AWD, and QX30 Premium AWD. There will also be a 2017 QX30 Reservation Program for buyers interested in getting their hands on the car first. Buyers in the program will be able to choose from a selection of gifts to go along with their new QX30. The QX30 Luxury starts at $33,595, while its AWD variant is $1,800 more. The QX30 Sport, which is front-wheel drive only and is 0.6 inches lower than the rest of the lineup, is priced at $39,495. The QX30 Premium will start at $36,295 with the QX30 Premium AWD commanding an additional $2,400. All trims are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four that puts out 208 hp and sends power to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. While the QX30 borrows a lot of components from the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, it's priced lower than its German counterpart. The Mercedes GLA250 starts at $33,775, while the GLA250 4Matic is priced at $34,775. The QX30 also comes in under the Acura RDX ($36,510), BMW X1 ($34,095), Audi Q3 ($34,625), and the larger Lexus NX 200t ($35,915). The QX30 will hit showroom floors in September.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
