You are bidding on a PRISTINE 2001 Mercedes Benz SL500.


This car was garage kept for 8 years and only has about 24,500 miles on it !!!
It has the AMG wheel package with the nicer rims and low profile tires.

The following has been replaced within the past 2 years and are (practically)new on the car:
  • Spark Plugs (all 16 of them)
  • Mass Airflow Sensor
  • 4 Tires replaced (only have about 4K miles on them)
  • Brand New Convertible top.

I have had the car 4 years and only put about 1500 Miles on it.
I have all the service receipts and the prior owner is my cousin, so I am well aware of the way it was driven and how it was cared for before I got it.

This car is sweet and needs a good home where it will get driven a lot!
Good luck!!

Note,regarding the two issues on the car fax report.


1) Someone must have tried to get in the car via the soft top and popped out a plastic window. No damage was done to the car other than that.  The result was a brand new soft top, professionally installed, which is great.  Most soft tops clear windows get cloudy with age...these new ones are crystal clear.  Roof was replaced with genuine Mercedes product.

2) Some knucklehead going door to door, trying to sell frozen food parked in front of my house and bumped the driver's side rear fender at less than 5 MPH.  The job was to repair a scratch more than anything else.. I had to go through insurance just out of principle.  The clown dodged me and wouldn't own up to what he did....needed to get cops involved.

People have asked me why I'm selling the car....I love it but I may be moving out of the country for work, so I'd rather have someone else enjoy it rather than moth balling it.

Enjoy!

Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]

Sat, 19 Jan 2013

How much extra value does previous celebrity ownership add to of a car? Really, there's no way to know until the car in question hits the auction block and bidders start raising their hands. In the case of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing you see above, the celebrity owner is none other than Clark Gable, who purchased it new. After Gable's death in 1960, the car changed hands a few times before settling with Charles Wood in 1975.
A high-dollar restoration was performed in 1989, and period accessories added by Gable himself were kept in place, including the Rudge knock-off wheels and Nardi steering wheel. Any Mercedes-Benz 300SL is worth a big chunk of money. In the case of Clark Gable's old Gullwing, the bidding stalled at $1.9 million here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. As one of the 5000-series cars, this 300SL carried a reserve, and a bit of after-the-fact dealmaking saw the car change hands for $1.85 million.
You can see our high-res image gallery above, and the car's official auction description below.

Twin-turbo Cadillac CTS coming

Maybach could become Mercedes-Benz sub-brand

Wed, 22 Jun 2011

When you're arriving in a twin-turbocharged, twelve-cylinder Maybach limo, there's no reason you should ever have to be late. Except, maybe, to make a fashionable entrance. But up at the corporate level, the entire Maybach brand is being slowed down as critical decisions about its future are being undertaken.
Last week, we reported that a decision on what path Maybach would take going forward would be due at the start of next month, but the latest reports indicate that the timeframe has been extended as further options are being considered.
The previous options under consideration were twofold: either relaunch the brand with production outsourced to Aston Martin - which suddenly finds itself with excess production capacity - or shut it down completely. And those are still two very real options. Word has it that Aston has put together four concept cars for the Daimler brass to consider, all based on the next-generation S-Class platform (and thankfully not the old one).
