1980 Mercedes 450SL convertible. V8, Automatic project car. I am selling this for a friend who had to move out of state for work and did not have time to sell or a place to keep it. He bought car as it is now for a project with his son, but that did not happen. I am not a car expert, and not a Mercedes expert, so info I give will be as best I can describe it. You are welcome to have your expert look at car if you wish. Car seems to be complete. If you look through the photos you should see most of parts that have been removed. Body looks like it is in good condition, meaning it looks straight, hood, trunk, and doors seem to close good. I see no evidence of rust problems, but I have not had it on a lift or had it checked out. My understanding is this is an Arizona car, so usually rust is minimal. Car is a rolling chassis, drive train is out of car. Interior: Door panels look pretty fair, seats are in need of being redone, also carpet needs replacing. It looks like all the parts for instrument panel, switches etc are in boxes and all seem to be there including Speedo, Tach etc.. If it were mine I would redo interior. But it looks like all the original parts are there. Engine was out of car when he bought it. Old owner said motor was good, but then why was manifold and top end of motor off? The rest has not been taken apart it sits like it was bought. Same with automatic trans. Exhaust system is there, gas tank, radiator, drive shaft, Brake booster etc. Wheels look to be original, tires look ok, but I have no idea of age.Includes a container with a lot of bolts, washers, nuts, and screws. Car is in Mesa, Arizona and purchaser will have to pick up here. Car has not been registered since sold in 2007. Title has been signed and dated, but left open for new purchaser. Also have bill of sales both from original owner and individual my friend purchased from. Seller has right to remove car from auction prior to auction end.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013Maybe you saw our recent blog snippet on a bunch of US journos getting pulled over in the middle of nowhere in Catalunya, Spain for driving a bunch of new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG models. By all accounts, they weren't speeding - which makes me softly guffaw. I was there in that group, yet I had taken the more direct route into the mountains from Barcelona so that I could... well, so that I could go faster. No one hassled me and I had the Autovia all to myself. And it was the goodniks - the team players - who got nabbed because Spain had decided to suddenly enforce the never enforced "must carry an international driver's license" clause of the highway code.
The departing E63 AMG with 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from its M157 5.5-liter biturbo V8 hasn't exactly been poorly received. It isn't as crisp as, nor as pleasantly evil as its C63 AMG kid brother, but we generally accept that the heavier and larger car will always feel, well, heavier and larger.
As part of the 2014 E-Class mid-cycle redesign, Affalterbach decided to give its E63 AMG more power and torque for the occasion. The base car now gives off 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, while the hotter S version I tested (formerly the AMG Performance Pack) produces 577 hp and 590 lb-ft. The other big novelty is that E63 sedans will be available with both rear- and all-wheel drive, while all US-spec E63 wagons will be 4Matic equipped.

Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head
Fri, Sep 4 2015Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.
