This car turns heads - literally. 

How many cars have you driven where pedestrians on sidewalks near the car shout out "I like your car!"  It has happened to me repeatedly and only in this car - most recently yesterday!

 

If you are the type to look for a truly great car at a great price, congratulations, you just found it. 

 

I am the fourth owner of this car and have thoroughly enjoyed driving it for the past 9 years.  I gave up my '98 Corvette Convertible to buy it.  My wife thought I was nuts at the time, but you know why I did it - it is a classic all the way.  Quiet, smooth and one of the best looking cars in history.

 

It is in excellent condition and doesn’t need anything.  Carfax and title are clean and the car has never been tampered with (no accidents with the last two owners and according to carfax, none with the first ones either).  I just turned 115k miles and it has A/C, PW, PS, PB, CC, original AM/FM/Cass (it was a $425 extra when new!), leather and 2 tops – hardtop and convertible.  Ceiling mounted hardtop removal rack is included.  Mechanically excellent - you don't even know the engine is running when you are stopped at a traffic light.  A/C is cold and has been updated to todays refrigerant.

 

As you can tell, I am not a dealer.  If you want to go to a dealer and pay their profit and have no history on the car, I am OK with that - good luck.  On the other hand, if you want to talk to the person who has maintained and driven the car for almost a decade, I am he.

 

The car was imported from Germany to San Francisco and sold by a dealer in San Rafael California. I bought it from a woman neighbor who moved East in the 90’s.  It has never seen a winter and has no rust (including undercarriage).  Best I can tell, it has always been garaged.  While I owned it, I did have it painted (original color) and it is gorgeous.  I have the original window sticker ($41,302), owner’s literature and multiple keys.  This car has been meticulously maintained for its entire life.  I can guarantee that this car is one of the nicest cars you will find of this vintage and the absolute best color combo. 

 

Give me a call if you are interested – and serious - and I will be happy to tell you anything you want to know - 610 517 6069.  You are welcome to come and see and drive the car.  If you see it, you will buy it.  For those that don't do this, you may get a shot at it with the auction, but I will end the auction early if I get a reasonable offer. I put a very reasonable reserve on it - unfortunately I must sell it and priced it to sell in the first listing. I know there are some crazy prices out there - this is not one.  Don't miss this car - I almost did when I bought it 9 years ago and really glad I got it.

Mercedes teases IAA Concept for Frankfurt

Mon, Sep 14 2015

Mercedes-Benz is being coy about the IAA Concept you see above. The Germany automaker admits its name is short for Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile, but isn't letting out much more. In a very short statement, Mercedes describes the IAA as "two cars in one: an aerodynamics world champion and a four-door coupe embodying irresistible design." Does that mean the IAA points the way forward for the next version of the brand's shapely CLS, which it also refers to as a four-door coupe? Probably, but we're not sure where the "Intelligent" part comes in. Will it be an electric machine that presages a competitor to the Tesla Model S? We'll just have to wait and see. One thing is for certain: The Mercedes IAA looks sleek. While the details of its design are shrouded in strategically placed shadows, we can clearly see a double-bubble roofline that flows seamlessly into a graceful hatch that reminds us of the Audi A7, which isn't a bad design to borrow cues from. The overall shape of the Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile makes it look like bodywork shrink-wrapped atop the chassis as tightly as possible. We're keen to take a look at the IAA ourselves, and that's going to happen rather soon. Mercedes promises a debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the early afternoon (Eastern). Stay tuned. The Mercedes-Benz "Concept IAA" (Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile) is two cars in one: an aerodynamics world champion and a four-door coupe embodying irresistible design. World premiere. September 14, 7.30 pm (CEST). Featured Gallery Mercedes IAA Concept teasers News Source: Mercedes-Benz via Facebook Design/Style Frankfurt Motor Show Mercedes-Benz Coupe Concept Cars Sedan

Recharge Wrap-up: Innova EV Car Share, Mercedes to use CO2 A/C

Tue, Oct 20 2015

Innova UEV will launch its carsharing program at the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education 2015 Conference & Expo. Called Innova EV Car Share, the program is designed for college campuses, and uses the Innova Dash neighborhood electric vehicle and solar charging stations. "The Innova UEV team is excited to introduce this innovative sustainability program to universities across the country as a way to reduce CO2 output as well as decrease congestion," says Innova UEV Founder and CEO Roman Kuropas. "Visionary schools that make this level of commitment to the environment are sure to add to their sustainability prestige as leaders in higher education." Read more in the press release from Innova UEV. Microsoft and ABB are launching a new EV fast-charging services platform. ABB chargers will connect to the Microsoft Azure cloud, allowing for smarter charging as infrastructure expands. "Platform performance and stability are critical differentiators for the successful operation of a modern, data-dependent EV charging station," says ABB's Pekka Tiitinen. "By partnering with Microsoft, ABB will be able to offer best-in-class operations as well as innovative advanced services - what we call the Internet of Things, Services and People." Perhaps we'll hear more specific details following the platform's launch at eCarTec in Germany. Read more from Microsoft. Honda is testing solar-powered EV charging in the Marshall Islands. The AC charging stations, called the Honda Power Chargers, will help power a fleet of Fit EVs on the remote islands as part of a pilot test. The Marshall Islands must import most of their energy supplies, so solar-powered mobility would help provide some self-sufficiency and cost savings. Honda, the Marshall Islands government, and the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will use the experiment to determine if it would be worthwhile to expand the solar-powered charging infrastructure. Read more at Green Car Reports. Mercedes-Benz will use CO2 air conditioning to help meet the EU's 2017 environmental requirements. The European offerings of the S-Class and E-Class will be the first to use a CO2-based air conditioning system. The use of CO2 requires a redesign of much of the system, as it requires a much higher pressure than other refrigerants. The automaker will use the HFO-1234yf refrigerant in its other vehicles.

A 1985 Ford Escort for $915,000? If it was owned by Princess Diana

Sun, Sep 3 2023

What makes a used car worth more than the car itself? If it was owned by John Lennon. Or Muhammad Ali. Michael Schumacher, perhaps, or Stirling Moss. This year’s edition from the Hagerty organization of its “Power List” makes for amusing reading even if youÂ’re not on it. But you can make believe that you are. Essentially, the list, which was launched only last year, tracks the impact of celebrity ownership of a vehicle on its value, as measured by its worth at auction. Nearly 400 sales of celebrity cars and bikes have been analyzed from around the world by Hagerty using market data and “expert” analytics. Hagerty is aware, certainly, that famous folks — from royalty, sports, movies and music — grab gobs of attention from ordinary people. ThatÂ’s why the 2023 Power List comprises these categories: Art Cars, Racing Drivers, Movies and TV, Musicians, Royalty, Screen Stars, Sporting Icons. But you don't have to be a rock star or a F1 pilot to get listed: Princess Diana, besides an Escort Turbo RS that she owned between 1985 and 1988, numbered a convertible 1994 Audi 80 Cabriolet and a Jaguar XJS Cabriolet among her rides. HereÂ’s a look at some of the more notable entries: Racing driver category: In pole position was an unlikely titleholder, a 1976 Ford Bronco. This was the car bought new by legendary Canadian Formula 1 driver Gilles Villeneuve and untouched since his death; it sold at the Aguttes auction in Paris last December for $148,000, a huge 210% increase over the $47,800 that Hagerty would value a regular example in the same condition. Just a note: The list doesnÂ’t include race cars, only vehicles kept privately by the drivers. Musicians: A 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow had been Freddie MercuryÂ’s personal chauffeur-driven transport from 1979 until his death in 1991. Without celebrity ownership, Hagerty would value the Silver Shadow at a lowly $9,500, a car that would take a lot of time, effort and money to restore properly. But add in MercuryÂ’s aura and bids ended at $362,500. “ItÂ’s no surprise that MercuryÂ’s car dominated our Musicians list on the 2023 Hagerty Power List,” the company said. Movies and TV: For those readers now emerging from hibernation since 1968, the news is that the historic Highland Green Mustang from “Bullitt” remains at the top of the Power List for the second year running.
