Drive car anywhere! True gem and cream puff!
HISTORY: You are bidding on a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SL. This car was purchased new by Dennis Hargett of Evansville, IN in 1984 at a cost of almost $46,000. He owned the car for 16 years and put 46K miles on it during that time. In 2001 the car was purchased by Tom Dinn of West Frankfort, IL at a cost of $18,000. Tom owned the car for 12 years and had to sell in this year when he was no longer physically able to enjoy the car. I purchased the car in May of 2013 from Tom with just over 59K on it. I had intentions of flipping as soon as I purchased but kept it for 6 weeks to enjoys this classic!
CONDITION: This car is about as nice as you can find in original condition. The only non original item is an aftermarket stereo. The car has very deep shining paint that is in overall great condition. Minor scuffs from hardtop and rock chips but nothing out of the ordinary for a 29 year old car. The interior is near flawless. No fading or cracking of interior. The car has been garage kept its entire life and it shows. The car has a factory hardtop and softop both look like the day they came off the showroom. This car requires nothing to enjoy on weekend cruises or enter into your local show.
MECHANICALLY: Tom told me when I bough the car I could drive it to California and back! Well I tested that as I drove it 300+ miles home from his house. The car drives flawlessly. I have a 2009 Mercedes and they drive equally as good. I did some minor tune-up items since I was going to enjoy the car a while. This included oil change, topped and checked all fluids, spark plugs, plug wires, rotor button and a new spare tire. The car has Good-Years all around with 85% tread life remaining. REMEMBER....this is a 1984 model and that means double row timing chain... that is a huge expense on pre 1984 models! I let my wife drive this car with her girlfriends and feel secure everytime she pulls out the driveway.
FEATURES: Everything works on this car except the power attena. It has power windows, locks, AC/Heat/Defrost, power mirrors, AM/FM/CD (aftermarket) and automatic transmission. I have many service records, carfax, clear title showing actual miles and many receipts.
VALUE: This is a NO RESERVE auction so you are going to set the value. I can tell you the current NADA values range from $16,500 for Low and $34,500 for high. I think this car is worth something in that range, but you are setting the price here so GOOD LUCK. See link below to get to NADA report.

2015 Spanish F1 Grand Prix makes its Deutsche mark
Mon, May 11 2015The first race of the European Formula One season inaugurates the second phase of the Championship. Teams overhaul their cars with the big updates they've been working on since Australia, and at the end of The Battle of Spain we find out how the positions on the field have changed. Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver Nico Rosberg brought a big update to his psychology, straight-up beating teammate Lewis Hamilton to take his first pole position of the season. Mercedes owns the front row and Ferrari maintains its status as primary challenger, Sebastian Vettel lining up in third. Williams proved it's been hitting the books to do better in class, though, Valtteri Bottas slotting into fourth. And Toro Rosso's visit to a track that rewards strong aero rewarded them with the best team grid position since the Italian Grand Prix in 2008: Carlos Sainz secured fifth, ahead of Max Verstappen in sixth. Kimi Raikkonen's bout of Saturday woes – it seems the Finn is always handicapped by lots of tiny issues – continued in Barcelona with one of his sets of prime tires getting cooked by malfunctioning tire warmers. He recovered well enough to take seventh on the grid, but he's got some strong competition ahead of him. He led three other drivers in the Continuous Issues department, Daniil Kvyat unable to wrestle his Infiniti Red Bull Racing higher than eighth, Williams driver Felipe Massa getting it wrong in Turn 3 to fall five places behind his teammate Bottas, and Daniel Ricciardo in the second Red Bull enduring another engine change and sloppy car behavior to get tenth. And while it turned out to be a steady race a little rough around the edges, the positions on the battlefield just might have changed. A little. Of the 66 laps in the race we might have seen Rosberg for three of them – maybe. The German got a smashing start, had a clear lead into Turn 1, and after that we checked in occasionally during his two pit stops and again at the checkered flag. He owned the entire weekend the way we're used to seeing his teammate do, and the cameras left him alone to run his race. No one got within seven seconds of him during the first third, and as the pit stop strategies played out that cushion grew. He finished seventeen seconds ahead of Hamilton, and 45 seconds ahead of third-placed Vettel. Hamilton, on the back foot all three days, stumbled out of the gate.

Formula One speeds towards radical thousand-horsepower shakeup
Wed, Feb 11 2015The teams, the drivers, the fans, the circuits... few, if any, were satisfied with how Formula One has shaped up since the current regulations took hold last year. But that doesn't mean they aren't working on it. At a recent meeting of the F1 Strategy Group, the leading parties in the sport outlined a new framework that would radically shake up the cars themselves while keeping costs in check. And the biggest change could see the engines producing around 1,000 horsepower. Although a proposal put forth by Ferrari to ditch the current V6 hybrid engines in favor of new twin-turbocharged units was rejected by Honda and Mercedes, the members of the group approved in principal to increase the fuel flow in the existing engines to dramatically boost output. As it stands, the current 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engines develop around 600 horsepower, with an additional 160 or so kicked in by the electric Energy Recovery System, for a combined output of about 760 hp. What's not clear at the moment is whether the increased fuel flow would necessitate either the return of mid-race refueling (currently banned) or the installation of larger fuel tanks. Red Bull and McLaren also submitted proposals to radically redesign the shape of the cars as well, however a more evolutionary approach was adopted instead. Though far from finalized, the new design would keep the same basic form of the current chassis, but with adjustments to make them more aesthetically pleasing while producing more downforce. Wider tires are also said to be part of the mix. With more power and more grip from the tires and aero, the resulting cars would most certainly end up going much faster than the current ones, which are already starting to nudge the lap records at some of the circuits, many of which were set during the V10 era. The F1 Strategy Group is made up of representatives of the FIA, Formula One Management and six leading teams. The next step will be for the teams' technical directors to iron out how to implement what their bosses have agreed to. If they settle the details fast enough, the revised regulations could be pushed through in time for next season.
