WDBBA48D8HA061895

You are viewing a 1987 MERCEDES 560SL ROADSTER in a Silver Blue with blue-gray interior. Up front: This Mercedes is being sold AS IS. I originally purchased this at auction. It has 115,000 miles this is an 8 Cylinder, automatic transmission, gasoline engine car. Two Tops: A hard Top which is painted the same color as the car body. Underneath, it has a dark sapphire blue convertible top in fair-good condition. Needs new Clear windows stitched in. The stitching is brittle and the windows are yellowed (The ones in the Rag Top only) The Blue convertible top is very tight when extended hard to latch. But I have the hard top in my garage. I drove it in the rain briefly and convertible the top did not leak. The exterior body paint is in pretty good condition for its 27 year age. But the passenger door has a golf ball size dent. Little rust spots where hard top met the body and maybe other small spots. (Look at pics). The rims need polishing . Some of the black rubber exterior parts are oxidized and need treating. The brakes work well, but rear might need replaced because they squeak, possibly a warning squeak. Or perhaps it just needs to be driven more. I bought a working radio that goes to this year/model Mercedes but did not hook it up because of my inexperience of this replacement. But I went to the Salvage yard and found many different plugin ends that will help to install cut wires into the back of this radio. New ignition Plugs and wires, clean oil on the dip stick. It was clean when I got it. I think tires are at 80% Look at all pics closely.

Three pieces of exterior trim is off but unharmed and is with the car. The small trunk light lense needs installed and right tailight lense is broke. see pics.

The car now is in Thayer mo. 65791

I might try to move it to my other house in Kansas City Mo. 64130. During the week of the 9th

Runs and shifts terrific as it should

My yahoo mailing addy is tw_ricketts or Call,,,,, or better yet text me (Tom) at 417-280-6647

I have a reserve price at $2500 a steal. Check out many other sales and see what this car could be worth with a little attention.

Gullwing America turns SLS AMG Roadster into stunning 1955 300 SC redux

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Gullwing America specializes in what it calls "retro styling meets modern technology." It's next demonstration of that is the convertible above, a stylized recreation of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC (inset) supported by the structure of a 2012 SLS AMG Roadster. Commissioned by a client in Eastern Europe, the resulting car is called the 300 SLC.
The hand-formed aluminum bodywork required just a few changes to the SLS AMG Roadster, namely reworking the headlights into a stacked arrangement of LEDs and relocating the pop-up spoiler behind the cabin. The retro grille and long, straight hood evoke the past, the custom exhaust, height-adjustable suspension, 21-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in back, however, stray a little further from history. The 300 SLC will come with a hardtop and be one-of-a-kind, making it even rarer than its inspiration, of which 92 were made.
If you have any more questions, they can probably be answered in the high-res photo gallery above and press release below.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining

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.
