Mercedes Benz 380SL W107-045 Roadster.  Beautiful original car.  I am the 3rd owner and acquired from my grandparents in July 2010, my grandfather was the second private owner and purchased Feb. 1995 in Florida.  Car had 55,090 miles when he purchased it, now has just under 61,000.  The odometer shows 60,793 - however, the odometer quit working for me apx. a year ago, speedometer still works, I haven't investigated further.  I have not driven the car more than maybe 100 miles since last year.  It stays in the garage under a high quality car cover and is rarely driven, this is why I'm selling her.  Car cover is included.  Runs and drives great.  New tires (at 60,548 miles). New plugs, plug wires, distributor cap / rotor, filters, last year < 100 miles driven since.


Hardtop has some paint flaking off around trim and some discolorations on the very top that may be able to be buffed out.  The hardtop was originally stored in a garage uncovered for many years.  I purchased a hardtop holder and cover which is included in the auction.  Drivers door has some paint chips along edge.  pinstripes in a couple spots have peeled.  Remainder of paint / chrome trim is excellent.

A/C blows cool but not cold, I'm sure it needs serviced if you desire cold A/C.

Well documented, with services from Mercedes Dealer, all paperwork, warranty book, owners manual, etc.  I also have photos when the car was bought in 1995, it still looks the same.
Has won 1st place unrestored - survivor class in the only show I took her to.

Additional info:  
Built in Germany January 1982 - Shipped to AutoHaus Pompano Beach, FL
Originally sold March 1982 for $41,733

Look at the photos, ask questions, I will take other photos as needed.

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.

Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift

Fri, Feb 20 2015

The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.
