1980 Mercedes 450sl Garaged Immaculate No Rust Convertible No Reserve on 2040-cars
Norwalk, Connecticut, United States
Immaculate garaged 450SL - No Rust - no reserve
This car has been driven approximately 3,000 miles per year. It has 103,000 original miles. This car has had 2 owners. The 1st owner had it garaged in Manhattan. 2nd owner had it garaged in CT. We had planned to repaint the car in the original 172G - Glasurit anthracite gray, however enthusiasts will not let us do this so this car has the original paint and original interior. The car has been powder coated from the dealer so the body and frame are fine. There are 2 items we would replace: Exhaust. We wanted to leave this up to the buyer to put a stainless steel T304 system in, to last a lifetime. The exhaust does show rust and eventually will need replacing, albeit has no leaks currently. The A/C unit also doesn't blow cold enough for our liking. There is a common Climate Control Servo upgrade that owners perform for this car because Mercedes decided to use GM parts for the climate control. The interior is showroom quality. New items: Brand new soft top $400 Brand new front / rear bumper $1,500 Brand new fuel system $750 Brand new brakes / rotors $500 Brand new front windshield $250 Replaced weather stripping on drivers / passenger doors. + others (too many to list as they are minor) we just had it detailed for $200 Like new interior. The interior is near showroom quality. Like new hard top with support stand. The headliner is like new. Car cover $100 Original shop manuals $300 Original manual The paint on this car is rare. This is a ghost color 172G that Mercedes stopped making and is the last year of the 450SL. The interior still has the original leather smell. This car is 34 years old.. There are some minor dings on the body and some other signs of wear from a car this old however this will be one of the nicest Mercedes you will find. Original Becker stereo fully working. Original Mercedes cup holders. Car runs and drives very smooth. Tires have 90% tread remaining. We just did a $3,000 vehicle inspection / parts replacement172G - Glasurit paint code which is the anthracite dark gray metallic with clear coat |

Mercedes FWD platform to last until 2018, convertible and two-seater future uncertain
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz seems to be expecting a lot of success from its front-wheel-drive CLA-Class. Automotive News is reporting that the sub-C-Class sedan could grow when its second generation arrives in 2018.
The current FWD platform for MB underpins the CLA, the B-Class, the GLA-Class, and the A-Class. The B-Class will arrive in North America as an EV for spring of 2014, while the production GLA crossover will arrive three to four months after that. The five-door A-Class won't be crossing The Pond. Sad faces all around.
According to AN, another model will be based on the front-drive architecture, but it won't be coming to the US market. Set to arrive next year, rumors are that it'll be a wagon version of the CLA, sort of like the ill-named five-door CLS Shooting Brake that is also a Europe-only item.
Mercedes C111 concept in commercial spoof A Fistful of Wolves
Fri, Jan 16 2015A Fistful of Wolves is a spoof of fashion advertising, commissioned by Mercedes-Benz to spread a cheeky word about Berlin Fashion Week. Yet, in the lampooning of sartorial gobbledygook, plenty of automotive advertising gets doused with cold water, too - like the ads that subscribe to the importance of being earnest (looking at you Matthew McConaughey and Kate Walsh), or the ones that try to convey just how unimaginably cool you'll be once you've jumped into the three-year-lease hole (looking at you, um... Mercedes-Benz and every other German luxury brand). We appreciate a brand that can make fun of itself, though. Led by Australian Justin O'Shea driving the Mercedes C111 through Berlin, it's beautiful satire as O'Shea tries to be fashion-forward while his friends go on about their daily lives, wondering why he never seems to be listening until he's offered cake, or why he's trying to walk in slow motion. Check it out in the video above. News Source: Mercedes-Benz via YouTube, Car and Driver Celebrities Humor Marketing/Advertising Mercedes-Benz Coupe Concept Cars Videos spoof
2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
