1975 450 Sl Mercedes Benz With 75000 Miles on 2040-cars
|
Not many cars defy time like this beautiful 1975 Mercedes Benz 450SL. Even today nearly 25 years after they went out of production, they still command respect and remain grad A cars to own & drive, representing a excellent investment. This 450 SL sports a lovely light Ivory exterior that looks great with the bamboo (tan) interior and a new brown convertible top. With only 75K original miles the condition of the car is exceptional which is a testament to the quality of original material & the German engineering and the care that has been given the car since new. All chrome & stainless remains bright. The condition of the interior strongly suggest that it has been exceptionally well maintained. Overhead is a new brown convertible tops that fits snugly & of course the matching hard top is like new. The trunk has the original mat, spar tire, jack & even the original set of tools in the tool pouch. The 4.5 liter V-8 engine is a wonderful machine. The engine compartment is well maintained with no leaks. The three speed automatic transmission shifts great. There is no rust on the car and even has a Rust Buster installed in the trunk which electronically controls corrision .
History of the MB: I purchased March 2012 from Black Forest Mercedes Benz in Glendale, Wi. They had purchased from original owners. The engine had seized due to oil pump failure. Black Forest completely disassembled the engine & rebuilt, replaced all seals in the transmission, motor mounts replaced, steering idler arms bushing replaced, all new belts, coolant hoses, all new fuel line hoses including injector lines. Ignition coil, ballast resistors, dist. cap & rotor ignition wires spark plugs new. All operating fluids were replaced:coolant power steering fluid, differential oil, brake fluid. New shock absorbers, new Kumho Ecsta ASX tires. The mileage when all this work was accomplished was 70,311. I have all the invoices from the work & the total was $11,915.00. Additional extra nice features have been added to the car. 1986 15" MB alloy wheels, front spoiler, and a draft stop screen to be used when the top is down. Also, have installed a new fold top case mechanism, rear sway bar links and catalytic converter. There is a very small crack in the front edge of the dash, small paint bubble on right door by chrome (photo shows) and small scratches just below the back window from removing the hard top. I have tried to describe a true picture of this vehicle. You can see that I have 100% positive reviews on Ebay. This is one beautiful mechanical free 450SL that is truly ready to enjoy this spring & summer. The reserve is set very reasonable. I will be happy to answer any questions but do request only serious inquires please. Will also be available to assist with shipping needs. |

Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

Deliveries to European dealerships start in September. Details on the PHEV sedan were divulged last August and it was first shown off at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show. Benz calls it the, "first luxury saloon with the performance of a V8 and the fuel consumption of a compact model." That's no exaggeration.
