MY DAD AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM ITS ORIGINAL OWNER THROUGH A CONSIGNMENT AT THE LOCAL BENZ DEALER.

THE ORIGINAL OWNER LIVED IN FLA AND ONLY DROVE THE CAR WHEN THEY WERE IN WV.
THE CAR SAT UNDER A CARPORT ON AND OFF FROM 1974-2009
THE ORIGINAL OWNER TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL BENZ DEALER FOR A TUNE UP AND PAINT JOB.
WE PURCHASED THIS CAR THEN......ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO.
WE HAVENT DRIVEN IT MORE THAN 5 TIMES SINCE, WE HAD TO RECENTLY PUT A BATTERY IN IT.
WE DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THESE OLD GERMAN CARS, BUT WHEN WE SAW IT, WE HAD TO HAVE IT
THE CAR COULD USE A TUNE-UP, IT RAN GREAT WHEN WE FIRST GOT IT, BUT IT HAS ACQUIRED A SLIGHT MIS WHEN THE THROTTLE IS FIRST APPLIED.....DUE TO SITTING IN MY GARAGE.  A SET OF POINTS AND PLUGS WILL FIX IT RIGHT UP IM SURE.
IT IS SMOOTH AS GLASS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, A GREAT DRIVING CAR, ACTUALLY IMPRESSIVE FOR ITS AGE.
BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE CAR THE TIRES, FUEL PUMP, MUFFLER, PLUGS, PLUG WIRES, POINTS WERE REPLACED. ONE HUBCAP HAS BEEN RE-PAINTED.
THE REST OF THE CAR AS FAR AS I KNOW IS 100% ORIGINAL. EVEN THE SOFT TOP! IT LOOKS AMAZING, SUPPOSEDLY WAS NEVER PUT UP BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE SOFT TOP IS CHOCOLATE BROWN. WE HAVE THE HARD TOP AS WELL
THE CENTER OF THE SPEEDO NEEDLE FELL OFF, IT WAS LIKE THAT WHEN WE BOUGHT IT, THE TACH SEEMS INACCURATE, BUT WORKS. THE RADIO IS ORIGINAL BUT ONLY PICKS UP OCCASIONALLY...WHO NEEDS A RADIO IN A CLASSIC CONVERTIBLE?
THERE APPEARS TO BE NO RUST. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT SURFACE RUST IN THE TRUNK AND THE PASSENGER FLOORBOARD (LOOK AT PICS) NO HOLES, OR ANYTHING MAJOR. I COULD EASILY PAINT OVER IT AND IT WOULDN'T BE NOTICEABLE, BUT WE WANT TO BE AS STRAIGHTFORWARD AS POSSIBLE. THE DRIVER FLOORBOARD HAS THE SOUND DEADENING MATERIAL IN IT STILL.
THIS CAR IS STUNNING, EVERYONE LOVES IT, WE JUST NO LONGER HAVE ROOM.

Mercedes-Benz may create electric-only brand

Fri, Jun 24 2016

Daimler's Mercedes-Benz division may follow in fellow German automaker BMW's footsteps by launching its own separate brand for electric vehicles, Hybrid Cars says, citing German publication Handelsblatt, which quoted people familiar with the process. Daimler's board may make the decision to go ahead with the plan as early next month. And the brand may officially be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September. Unlike BMW and the i brand, Mercedes would use its existing factories to produce the newly-branded vehicles instead of operating out of a separate one as the i brand does. The first vehicle under the brand is likely to be an SUV model based on the Mercedes-Benz GLC crossover vehicle and would start sales next year. The product line would be broadened further in 2020. Daimler declined to comment, according to Handelsblatt. Mercedes-Benz and BMW wouldn't be the only two German automakers with plans for more electric vehicle sales. Volkswagen has a plan to unleash as many as 20 electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids to the public by 2020, including the Phaeton and the Audi A8. On that note, reports surfaced last month that VW may build its own "Gigafacory" as it prepares to widen its plug-in vehicle push and bring down their costs. As for US sales, Smart sold 313 ForTwo Electric vehicles, down 43 percent from a year earlier. Meanwhile, BMW's i sales in the US fell 40 percent from a year earlier to 2,723. Currently, Mercedes-Benz's only two electric vehicles are the Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive and the Smart ForTwo Electric two-seat vehicle. In the meantime, take a look at Autoblog's First Drive of the B-Class Electric. Related Video: News Source: Handelsblatt, Hybrid Cars Green Mercedes-Benz smart Electric

2021 Mercedes-Maybach S 580 revealed as the biggest, most luxurious S-Class

Thu, Nov 19 2020

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS-Class made a splash recently as the company's ultra-luxury crossover. But if you're a well-heeled individual looking for the true peak of Mercedes luxury, there's no replacement for the 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S 580, the biggest, fanciest sedan the company can produce. You'll be able to identify the land yacht thanks to a number of styling tweaks. The grille gets slender vertical chrome bars, and the lower intakes feature a chrome mesh. Topping the grille is a Mercedes hood ornament. The hood is restyled, too, with a center ridge running front to back with a line of chrome trim. Besides these styling tweaks, the Mercedes-Maybach has had its wheelbase stretched a full seven inches, with the space going to rear passenger room. The stretch also included rear quarter windows. Just behind those windows are illuminated Mercedes-Maybach badges. The car can also be optioned with an array of exclusive wheels and two-tone paint. The two-tone paint jobs can take up to a week to complete. Of course, the interior is what really sets the Mercedes-Maybach apart from the "average" S-Class. All examples come standard with Mercedes Designo leather upholstery, and even the headliner is finished in leather. Like other S-Class models, there is an air freshener function, and Mercedes has saved a special scent specific to the Maybach. The front seat backs are covered in wood trim to enhance the design. Rear occupants get individual 11.6-inch screens for entertainment, as well as a removable tablet for controlling various car functions. Passengers get to enjoy a 1,750-watt, 30-speaker Burmester sound system, which won't be interrupted by outside noises thanks to additional sound deadening materials around the rear arches, thicker laminated quarter windows and active noise cancelling. Foam-filled tires and laminated glass around the rest of the car are options. Speaking of options, there aren't many, but they're also quite lavish. The one we expect to be quite popular is the executive rear seating. It replaces the rear bench with two reclining chairs complete with power leg rests. These leg rests even feature massage functions, a first for the S-Class. The seats come with climate adjustments and several massage settings. The option also adds seatbelt airbags and frontal airbags for the rear passengers. Other interior options include a refrigerator, champagne flutes and electrically assisted rear doors for easier entry and exit.

Mercedes rules out hybrid supercar, promises SLS successor

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

The recent Geneva Motor Show was a festival of hypercars, with the presence of not one, but three over-the-top debuts: the Lamborghini Veneno, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LeFerrari. The latter two have hitched their carbon fiber bumpers to the electrification bandwagon by using hybrid-electric powertrains not entirely unlike the propulsion systems we've come to know in cars like the Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Volt. Does that mean the flow of electrons up the four-wheeled food chain will eventually consume our hallowed supercars? Not if AMG has anything to say about it.
AMG Director of Vehicle Development Tobias Moers recently confirmed that not only will there be a successor to the Mercedes-Benz performance division's SLS AMG, he notes that its internal combustion engine will most definitely not be sharing living quarters with an electric drivetrain. Instead, AMG plans to focus on further pushing the power and efficiency envelope of the internal combustion engine and advancing the use of lightweight materials to achieve their goals. The first example of this effort can be seen in the new SLS AMG Black Series that incorporates many weight-saving techniques to shed some 154 pounds from the SLS AMG GT (above), which itself is lighter than the standard SLS AMG.
Furthermore, Moers remarks that his company is happy to leave the hypercar segment to companies like Ferrari and McLaren. He admits that, "Ferrari in the hyper-car segment is still a different brand than AMG. We have to be honest..." So rather than taking the SLS further upmarket to do battle with bulls and stallions, Moers hinted that the next-generation SLS may be joined by another performance model that fits neatly between itself and the C63 AMG.
