For Sale is a beautiful specimen of the craftsmanship of Mercedes Benz. 1978 Mercedes Benz 450SLC purchased from the original owner who bought the car in a New Jersey Showroom 35 years ago and has pampered the car ever since. The car has been dealer maintained since new, drives like a rocket ship with acceleration you wouldn't believe and the overall ride is so smooth you feel like you are floating along. This ride is extremely tight, controlled and better than today's standards. The 450SLC has the original and working Becker-Mexico Stereo Cassette with factory speakers all around, a Manual control switch that actually works the Antenna, sunroof with visor shield on roof, rear defrost, the newer and improved climate control system for this model, all the original carpets in excellent condition along with the headliner that does not have one blemish. This car even has the original first aid kit in the back where it belongs. All door skins and interior are original and in excellent condition. Sitting in this car is like sitting in a time machine.

I just spent $450 on replacing the fuel pump. All the brakes are new all around. New tires. Original Sekurt glass with perfect seals. Trunk has full size spare and carpet is in beautiful condition with NO moisture as car was always garaged. Engine runs with a newer Bosch battery and is extremely powerful and has tremendous "get up and go" acceleration. Transmission is smooth like silk. Sometimes you can't even hear or feel the transition into the next gear. Suspension is dreamy. Undercarriage is flawless and looks almost new.

The only thing that needs mentioning is the exterior paint has suffered from some fade and only two small spots of surface-only rust exist. Car really only needs a respray or can be driven as is depending on buyer's discretion. Otherwise, car needs nothing other than a driver. YOu will be amazed at the handling and ride this model offers. With back seat to fit two adults or 3 small kids, you are getting the same body style and handling as the SL but with a fixed top but put the sunroof open and you are back in business. ALl wood and dash are in excellent condition. All gauges and lights work beautifully even the entrance lights go on for safety. Windshield washers still spray the window with cleaner fluid as they should. This car is in fascinating condition for its age and the fact that its only had one owner is probably the reason why. Anything the car ever needed was done. Very low miles for a 35 year old car. Clear and clean title in hand. Need to see and drive to believe.

Thank you for your interest and please email with any questions.

Recharge Wrap-up: 2015 Honda CR-Z now on sale, Daimler and Linde building hydrogen stations in Germany

Fri, Oct 10 2014

The 2015 Honda CR-Z hybrid is now available at dealerships, for slightly more money. The CR-Z starts at an MSRP of $20,145 (plus $790 in destination charges), up from the $19,995 price of the 2014 model. For those who don't want to row their own gears with the six-speed manual transmission, the available CVT adds an extra $650 to the price, but also offers better fuel economy, especially in the city. The manual-equipped CR-Z gets 31 mpg city/38 highway/34 combined, while the CVT version is rated at 36/39/37 mpg. The 1.5-liter engine and electric motor provide a combined peak 130 horsepower. The manual CR-Z offers 140 pound-feet of torque, with the CVT version providing 127 pound-feet. Customers can also soup up their new CR-Z with upgrades (including a supercharger) from Honda Performance Development. Learn more in the press release below. Daimler and Linde are teaming up to build hydrogen fueling stations in Germany. The automaker and gases and engineering company, with the help of a few oil and gas companies, plan to install 13 new stations by the end of 2015. The installations precede a push by Daimler to get more fuel cell vehicles on the road. "From 2017, we are planning to bring competitively priced fuel-cell vehicles to market," says Daimler's Herbert Kohler. "So now is the time to build a nationwide fuelling infrastructure." Linde will supply the stations with fully renewable hydrogen. Read more in the press release below. In 1899, an EV set a world landspeed record, and Wired has revisited the story with a nice look back at the "La Jamais Contente" and its driver, Belgian engineer Camille Jenatzy. Jenatzy built an electric car to race in a hillclimb, which he won while clocking a top speed of 17 miles per hour (measured the old-timey way - without radar guns). Just a few weeks later, another man set a landspeed record of 32 miles per hour, beginning a back-and-forth series of setting new records. Then, on April 29, 1899, "The Red Devil," as Jenatzy became known as, surpassed 100 kph (62 mph) when his torpedo-shaped electric car set a record of 65.8 mph. It was powered by two 25-kilowatt electric motors. Read the whole story over at Wired.

Daimler buying 12% stake in Beijing Auto

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Daimler and Beijing Automotive are officially going steady, with the German company set to take a 12-percent stake in the Chinese brand tomorrow. The two are already tied up in a Mercedes engine plant in Beijing, of which BAIC will increase its stake in, from 50 to 51 percent. Daimler will also get two seats on the Chinese company's board. BAIC may also gain the ability to produce cars on Mercedes-Benz platforms, according to Automotive News Europe.
The investment in BAIC comes ahead of that company's initial public offering, according to a report form Bloomberg, which indicates the deal will be inked tomorrow in the Chinese capital. According to the report, if the circumstances are right, BAIC may turn around and invest in the Germany company "soon."
It's not entirely clear just how much the 12-percent cut is costing Daimler, although it seems reasonable to assume that, as it's ahead of the IPO, the parent company of Mercedes is getting a bit of a bargain.
