1985 Mercedes Benz 380 Sl Roadster Project Or Parts on 2040-cars
Sanford, Maine, United States
SELLING AT NO RESERVE Up for auction is this 1985 Mercedes Benz 380 SL roadster. This is the last year of the 380 model. V-8 auto loaded. Teal in color with a cream colored leather interior. This car belonged to a friend of mine who had owned it for the past 15 years. It has been in his barn , off the road since 08. He had planned on doing a restoration on the car but with so many other irons in the fire he decided to let it go. Any work that he would have had done on it would have had to be farmed out and he just didnt have the patience for it. As you see in the pics some of the left side fender parts were removed and he actually had removed the front fender. There was some rust around the bolt holes, so he pried it off . Realizing this wasn't for him he stopped working on it and left it to sit. I pulled the car out of storage , got the dust off and put in a fresh battery . The car fired right up. A lot off sunflower seeds came shooting out of the exhaust so i guess the critters made a home. Motor runs really nice , trans goes into gear fine and I yard drove the car. One brake line has been leaking but where it is a dual master car it still stops. You do get a little puff of smoke on the initial start . I would say the valve seals are probably getting tired. I asked mike how the car ran and drove when he put it up and he said it performed beautifully. He said that he went on a vacation to the blue ridge mountains in Virginia just before the car was stored . He had some service work just before the trip. Had double roller timeing chain conversion done , tune up and general going over. The car does have rust issues . Both front fenders need replacement , some rust spots on fronts of lower rear quarters, a portion of the front rocker panel drivers side where the fender bolts down low and the trunk lid. We have 2 new front fenders and 2 lower quarter patch panels that will be included with the sale. He paid $750 for those parts alone. All parts that were removed will be included. car has both hard top and soft top. Soft top is black. Battery will not be included as it does not fit the holder properly . Everything still works on the car. I feel the car is fixable depending on how nice you want to make it or would be an excellant parts candidate.We have a Maine registration and proper dealer transfer paper work for a smooth transaction.PLEASE BID ONLY IF YOU INTEND TO FOLLOW THRU WITH THE SALE.

Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive gets official US launch
Mon, Jul 21 2014It's finally time to plug in the first production Mercedes-Benz-branded electric vehicle in the US. The Daimler division, which also sells a few of its battery-electric Smart ForTwo vehicles here in the states, has officially launched sales of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class ED. Even better, the US will be the first market in the world to give the general public access to the new plug-in. As with many other EV debuts, the flyover states will have to wait a bit. Mercedes-Benz is only selling the B-Class ED in 10 coastal states, including California, Oregon, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Maine, and hasn't said anything about when a broader release might happen. Earlier this month, the US Department of Energy rated the B-Class electric with an 87-mile single-charge range, which is comparable to that of the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3. The other shoe dropped, though, when it was revealed that the model has an 84 miles per gallon equivalent rating, which is about 30 percent less then both of those other EVs. The culprit for the model, which puts out 177 horsepower and has a base price of $41,150, is its heavier curb weight. Check out Autoblog's "First Drive" impressions here.
Lexus NX, BMW i3 to get Super Bowl commercials
Mon, Jan 19 2015At this point last year, we'd been getting news on automotive-focused Super Bowl commercials for more than two months. The teasers hadn't come out yet, but manufacturers lined up for the super-expensive spots were making their intentions known. This year? Almost nada, until this week. BMW has said it will air a 60-second spot promoting the i3 during the first quarter of the game, the Munich firm returning to The Big Game after a four-year absence. BMW says, "Big ideas like the BMW i3 take a little getting used to, and the creative idea surrounding our spot will play on this analogy." We say that pitching a tiny range-extended hatchback during the beer-iest American sports orgy of the year should make for some neat commentary afterward. Lexus is putting its new NX crossover in the second Super Bowl commercial it's ever aired, eschewing the glitter of celebrities and glamor for a straight-shooting spot and the tagline, "Be seen, be heard, make some noise." Joining those two are Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota. The six confirmed carmakers are down from eleven last year, when car spots made up a quarter of the total ad time. The price to do business for 30 seconds this year: reportedly around $4.5 million, up a stacks from last year's $4 million. You can watch the Lexus commercial in the video above, and beneath that, the BMW press release below has a bit more information on its effort. BMW to Advertise All-Electric BMW i3 during Super Bowl XLIX. The all-electric BMW i3 is featured in a 60-second spot during Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, February 1, 2015. Woodcliff Lake, NJ – January 15, 2015... Today, BMW announced plans to feature the all-electric BMW i3 in a 60-second spot during Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, February 1, 2015. After a 4-year hiatus, BMW will be returning to the big game with a commercial during the first quarter. "As one in three Americans will tune in to watch the Super Bowl, we are thrilled to use this platform to educate viewers on the importance of electric mobility," said Trudy Hardy, Vice President of Marketing, BMW of North America. "Big ideas like the BMW i3 take a little getting used to, and the creative idea surrounding our spot will play on this analogy." BMW i is BMW's forward-looking and sustainable brand dedicated to solving many of the mobility challenges faced by the world's most densely populated cities. The BMW i3 is the first of the BMW i vehicles constructed from the ground up primarily of carbon fiber.
Queens man knows how to party, disrupts Mets game with van
Fri, Jun 24 2016A New Yorker and all-around true American hero took his weekend festivities a little too far and landed himself in front of a judge last week. According to NBC New York, Nelson Hidalgo drove his unassuming Sprinter to Citi Field on Saturday, June 18, around 10:45 p.m. While the Mets were getting thrashed by the Braves, Hidalgo pulled up to the intersection of 127th street and 35th avenue. Hiding within the van's cargo area were 80 speakers driven by powerful amps, around $20,000 worth of car audio. Hidalgo opened the Sprinter's rear doors, deployed his amazing speaker system, cracked a cold Coors Light, and unleashed hell. Noise complaints immediately started flooding in to the police, including one from the Mets' bullpen. Soon, Hidalgo amassed a sizable crowd who had come to rock out and marvel at the lunacy of the Sprinter's sound system. The NYPD showed up eventually and, undaunted by noise and the crowd, clapped the irons on poor Nelson. The Sprinter was impounded and Hildago was charged with second-degree criminal nuisance, general noise prohibition, disorderly conduct, and obstructing the driver's view. "I know it's illegal, but it's the weekend," he explained to the cops as they hauled him away. Once they had him in custody, the NYPD realized that Hidalgo was the person they had been looking for in connection with absurdly loud music coming from various city junkyards in the dead of night. Hidalgo, who has no prior record, spent the night in the slammer but was released the next morning with no bail on the promise that he return for his court date on August 1. Related Video:
