Hi, I am selling my 1969 Mercedes 280SL roadster. I am the second owner and this an original car with CA black and yellow plates.

If you have ever wanted to, dreamed of or thought of owning one of these then this is the car for you.

I searched for one for many years and stumbled across this one by chance and after 8 months of discussions was able to adopt if from the original owner.

This car has all of its original panels and anyone who is familiar with these 113 models will know what they're looking at when they start looking. For those of you that don't here is what to look for and this car has it.

Original spot welds on every panel, fender notches at the bezels, dimpled texture grain firewall pad ( they do not reproduce this texture anywhere), the original plastic insert in the floor shifter housing (they do not reproduce this); the original spare tire cover, jack, tool kit (likely never used)

The original interior, carpets, trunk mat, visors, motor, trans, etc.

This car is as came from the factory and purchased by the original owner.

Original paint with 7.6 - 8 mils all around

I have the original title, and original documents all the way from 1969 - today. Both sets of original keys. All of the original factory literature and owners documents that came with the car except the data plate which they could not find. It does have the original book that the data plate came in and where the data plate was removed. You can get another from the MBZ classic center..

I have the original frigiking ac warranty card which is very rare. I have the original set of chains purchased from the dealer as the original owner was terrified of getting caught in a snow storm going over the pass. The chains were never used and no snow storm was ever encountered which always seems the case when you have chains!!

I have the original convertible top chrome handles and pouch as shown in the picture. The original soft top is on the car and the hardtop is in my garage. It is black and the wood is beautiful.

So I could go on and on about this car being an unmolested example but I think you get the idea and I would not want to detract from the beautiful condition of this vehicle. Yes, there are some dings, paint chips and scratches but that being said, this car is still a 10 out of 10 for an original car.

The paint shines for the most part with some wear and age on the hood and trunk as can be expected from years of use with lacquer paint. The rims seem like new. the interior panels and dash seem like new. The seats have no tears or rips although they have 133000 miles on them.

The chrome and bright work are lovely

What makes this car rare is the condition, ownership and traceable history. I said it before and I truly mean it and that is why I purchased it, if you have ever wanted one, this is the one.

The car is being sold to help with funds for a down payment on a home. I am recently married and we would like to have our "own" together.

If you have any questions please just ask. I have hundreds of hi res images I can send to your personal email and will be uploading a short video on you tube soon.

Read my feedback, see what I have sold and bid with confidence knowing what I say is what you will receive.

The car is registered in CA and I have the title in hand.

I will end it there before I change my mind.

Good luck and drive em, don't hide em.

Bob

I just want to let everyone know that I am truly overwhelmed by the interest in my car and will try to get back to each and everyone of you as soon as I can.

I serviced the transmission, differential, engine oil, and AC 1000 miles ago.

If you have any questions I can be reached at 714-612-1267

Thanks,
Bob

What is the most expensive car in the world?

Wed, Jun 19 2024

Highlighting one single vehicle as the most expensive car in the world isn't as straightforward as you might think. To get a solid answer, we're going to have to break the question into a couple of parts. First, we'll discuss the most expensive new car in the world, and second, the most expensive collector car in the world. And by the end of the article, you'll be armed with the information you're looking for: What is the most expensive car in the world? Before we get into the stratospheric numbers, let's take a step back and put things in perspective. For the last year or so, the average transaction price for a new car has hovered right around $48,000. That's almost 10 grand more than new cars cost in 2019, before the pandemic. What will that buy you today? Well, you can get a midrange Ford F-150, a Kia Telluride, or a Ford Mustang GT with a few options. Not bad when you consider that these choices are among the best in their respective classes. At the very bottom of the spectrum is the Nissan Versa, which is available brand new for well under $20,000. Sure, there are a few anomalies such as the Changli Nemica (it's kinda a car, though not exactly street legal here in America) that can be ordered from Alibaba for about $1,000 to start, but there are a bunch of hidden costs, including shipping. Most expensive car in 2024: Rolls-Royce Droptail Price: $30 million Outside of the classic car market, the most expensive new vehicle in the world is the Rolls-Royce Droptail. So far, three Droptail models have been built, one called the Arcadia Droptail, one in ruby tones called La Rose Noire Droptail and one called the Amethyst Droptail. The latest example, the Arcadia, is painted in a white shade that is infused with aluminum and glass particles for a pearl-like effect that adds depth. Past that, the overall design of all three Droptails remains largely unchanged with an upright grille, thin rear lights, and a rounded back end. Like other extremely luxurious and expensive nautical-themed cars from Rolls-Royce — see the 2017 Sweptail and the 2021 Boat Tail Â— the Droptail is a very rare machine. There's a solid chance the lone remaining version will cost even more than the $30 million-plus cost of the La Rose Noire. For those keeping track, the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, which was previously the most expensive car in the world at $28 million, was the first model to emerge from the company's Coachbuild department that caters to the profanely wealthy.

Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.
