You are looking at a very RARE 1984 EURO Benz 500SL, 2 door, 2 tops Convertible with 5.0L, V8, bullet proof, engine with automatic transmission.
A true 2 + 2 car, since it has the Kinder back seat. It is a true Euro model that was brought from Germany and was truly made for the autobahn, very fast and furious! Even my title says that it was first registered in a foreign country.
It has Euro headlights and Euro bumpers as well as a factory back Kinder seat with seat belts, very rare and expensive. It is most sought out and hard to find a true Euro car.
EBay system does not recognize Euro VIN #’s, here is the vin # for the car WDB1070461A001993. It was first imported by the original owner and stayed in Fl. Until I bought it from him when he brought it back to WI.
We used it a little during the summer and did not drive it anymore. Space is needed, hence the sale, otherwise, I would keep and restore.
Very expensive car and was sold for well $55k back in 84. NADA puts its value today between $19k&$40k and keeps going up in value every year. Very original and has low original miles, only 154k/miles. Very good engine with many new parts through the years. It is a complete pleasure to drive and most fun. Very sleek and beautiful and it demands attention anywhere it goes.

It comes fully loaded with Power Locks, Power Windows, Power Mirror,Antenna, Cruise Control, AC, Heated Seats for passenger and driver, Factory Back Seat with Seat Belts, Euro Adjustable Headlights with Wipers, Euro Bumpers, ABS, Leather Interior and much more.
All interior and exterior lights work as well,turn signals and wipers and pump. All gauges on the instrument cluster work. All options work on the car very well, even the clock and the horn work, Everything works on the car, though blower is not working when I tried it and that could be a fuse or a connection issue.
It is a drive and go car and last summer was driven from Fl. To Milwaukee, WI. And performed flawlessly, you can drive it anywhere you want!

Exterior is very nice, not perfect, as you can see from photos, the original paint still has a nice shine to it, trunk is dull and I am sure that it can be buffed out. In addition, some rust on top of the front fenders above the head lights, as can be seen in photos, and that can be easily repaired. Also, some rust by the trunk area that can also be repaired as well as couple of bubbles here and there. It has a black soft top that would need to be replaced, antenna broke of, but I do have the mast. Couple of spots where clear coat peeled as well as a loose cruise control handle and the visor for passenger side is missing. I do have, but have to find it!

In my opinion, nothing major and with little effort, you can have an excellent car. All chrome, glass, and molding are excellent. Tires are brand new as well as fuel system maintenance. Trunk is very clean and solid and it has a factory full size spare with tools and jack. Also, I have all original books and manuals that came with it from Germany.

Car runs, drives, shifts and handles well and can really hug the road. It has excellent pressure and idles very nice. It drives and shifts effortlessly. It is all ready to go on a moment’s notice. It does not miss a beat, very fast and a true performer indeed.

Interior is very nice overall. Dash is excellent but has minor crack, door panels, wood, chrome, carpeting Are excellent. Seats are very sturdy and comfortable.
By all means, the car is neither perfect nor is a garage queen and I am not saying that the car is a show car, for it is not. As mentioned above, car will need some work to make it perfect and again, had I have the time, I would do it because, it is well worth it.

It sold for well over $55k in 84, NADA value today is at $40k, so what you have is a very nice car selling at NO RESERVE and all this car will do is keep going up in value with time.

Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

Race recap: 2016 Australian F1 Grand Prix a rowdy start to season

Mon, Mar 21 2016

The three brief Formula 1 tests ahead of the current season belied how much had gone on since the last race in November: Infiniti subbed out for Tag Heuer, Renault is back, the all new Haas F1 team, a revamped Manor, three brand new drivers and two returning drivers, a raft of regulation changes among the newly tilled soil. The four engine manufacturers spent a combined 67 tokens among the 138 in the kitty, Renault using just seven of their 32. The only conclusive proof to come from the annual intermission was the otherworldly capability of Mercedes-AMG Petronas. The Silver Arrows didn't even try the super- and ultra-soft tires, focusing on reliability instead of speed. The result? They ran more than 19 race distances, obliterating the lap totals of every other team. There are certainly a few people who enjoyed the complicated new rolling-elimination qualifying format fast-tracked to approval just a few weeks ago. They were wildly outnumbered by those who thought it was awful, including the same team heads who voted for it. We'd probably have to go back to the debacle at the 2005 Indianapolis Grand Prix for an equivalent fiasco when Michelin pulled its teams over safety fears, leaving six cars out of 20 to qualify. In Australia, within 24 hours of the conclusion of qualifying, the new format had itself been eliminated. Nevertheless, qualifying also taught us what didn't happen over the winter: any other team progressing enough to outduel Mercedes. After admitting that he dropped off after winning the championship last year, then getting questioned in the press for some dubious off-season activities, Lewis Hamilton proved he can still turn it on when he wants to. The Brit smoked the Albert Park track in 1:23.837, more than three-tenths of a second ahead of teammate Nico Rosberg in second place. Ferrari did make strides during the off-season, but only enough to keep the same gap it had to Mercedes last year: Sebastian Vettel lined up third, a half-second behind Rosberg, teammate Kimi Raikkonen another four-tenths back in fourth place. Max Verstappen said Toro Rosso is the best of the rest, the Dutchman taking fifth place in front of Felipe Massa for Williams in sixth and Toro Rosso teammate Carlos Sainz in sixth. Daniel Ricciardo – who wasn't smiling after qualifying Â– kept Red Bull and its new "Tag Heuer" engines in the conversation with eighth on the grid.
