  A very nice little car with absolutely NO rust or body damage ever! All original paint, interior, and mechanicals, with only 70,887 miles since the day it was born! It has just come out of an extended slumber in my garage and started right up. It needs a good cleaning and some fresh gas, but I don't have the time to put into it any more.
 Just before it went into storage, all of the fluids (with synthetic oil), filters, and plugs were changed, and it was put on blocks to keep the almost new tires good. The interior, other than needing detailed, is in remarkable condition. It didn't ever spend much time in the sun so it doesn't have the typical sunburn that these all get. The body is flawless, other than some very light scratches from someone removing and installing the hard-top. The blue canvas soft-top is useable as is with clear plastic windows, and it was just waterproofed before going into storage. The wire wheels have no curb rash or rust issues at all.
 Now for the bad -
 It idled a little rough when it started, but it smooths out when driving, maybe old gas. The back window on the hard-top is cracked and was that way when I got it, but it's still solid. The exhaust needs work, it has the original exhaust and has a few bad spots. I replaced the climate control module with a newer aluminum one instead of the plastic, but I never got to the amplifier and I think it needs replaced. The previous owner installed a valve to turn off the hot water to the heater core, and that lets the A/C work fine.

 I will require a $500 deposit through Paypal within 48 hours, the rest will need to be paid by certified check or cash within 5 days, or when the car is picked up. I will accept Paypal for the entire payment if you agree to pay the fees. Other arrangements can be discussed BEFORE the auction ends. I will accept a personal check, but the car can't leave until it turns into cash in my hand. I will load to ship, or you can drive it away. Storage is available for a short time in my garage, but payment still has to be completed within 5 days.

 Please ask lots of questions, come look it over, or schedule a test drive if you would like. I have other vehicles that I will be listing soon, like a 1959 Mercedes 180, so watch for those too! This car is also listed locally, so it is subject to sale outside of Ebay, but I will pull those ads once this gets a bid.

Eight Mercedes Fuso Canter E-Cell trucks now in service

Thu, Jul 17 2014

Portugal is far better known for its scenery and seascapes (not to mention some of its alcoholic beverages) than its place as a vehicle-testing center. But the European country is serving just that purpose for Daimler's Mercedes-Benz division and a new line of trucks. And they are of the battery-electric variety. Daimler has sent eight of its Mercedes-Benz Fuso Canter E-Cell battery-electric trucks for customer-trial purposes to various parts of the Western European country. And these customers include the Portuguese cities of Lisbon, Porto and Abrantes as well as delivery company Transporta. These entities will be testing trucks that have about a 60-mile single-charge range and deliver 150 horsepower. The trials for the trucks, which have 14-foot beds, will last one year. Daimler hasn't released a whole lot of details on further development or sales possibilities of the model. The hybrid version of the Fuso Canter debuted in the fall of 2009 and was under the Mitsubishi badge at the time, even though it was 85-percent owned by Daimler. That model is said to boost fuel economy relative to conventionally-powered trucks by as much as 23 percent. Take a look at Daimler's press release on the Fuso Canter E-Cell and its Portugal testing below. Zero emission and quiet as a whisper: eight new Fuso Canter E-Cell in customer trials Eight Fuso Canter E-Cell in real-life testing with customers for a year Locally emission-free and virtually noiseless Powerful, high-torque electric motor Battery capacity ensures range of more than 100 km Highlight of anniversary year for the Canter assembly plant in Tramagal, Portugal The drive system to suit: Canter Euro VI, Canter Eco Hybrid and Canter E-Cell The cleanest technology, whatever the application: Fuso is a pioneer of "green" drive systems in the commercial vehicle sector. The Daimler subsidiary in Japan is the home of Daimler Trucks' centre of competence for hybrid technology, and with this experience behind it, Fuso has also been responsible for developing the new battery-electric-powered "Zero Emission" Canter E-Cell. The first all-electric light-duty truck, produced in a small series, runs emission-free and almost silently. The Canter E-Cell for Europe is manufactured at the Tramagal plant in Portugal. Eight vehicles have now been released for customer trials.

Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman

Fri, 25 Nov 2011

According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
