Up for auction is my 1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SL roadster.  It has only 36,500 documented miles.  It was purchased new from Mercedes-Benz of Hollywood, CA on Dec. 31, 1971 and has spent its entire life in Calif.  I am the second owner.  This is an original, non-restored, all numbers matching  350SL with all the number plates intact.  I have all the service records as well as the original window sticker.  It has always been professionally maintained.  This is a true '72 350SL as can be verified by the VIN#.  It has the powerful 4.5 litre fuel injected, smog exempt V8 engine coupled with a 3 speed automatic transmission.  This is truly a collector model with the small chrome bumpers and matching color keyed hubcaps that were only used on the '72 & '73 models.  It has power steering, power brakes, power locks and rare factory a/c, which blows ice cold & was optional in 1972.  The car has a rare factory color scheme.  The body is silver (code #180) and the top is black (code #040) which makes the car unique and quite collectable.  The car has had one high quality re-spray.  The paint is superb with no fading, sun damage or clear coat breakdown.  It has absolutely no rust or accident damage.  The body panels are all in perfect, original shape.  All the inner areas, including the door, trunk and hood jambs are in excellent condition.  The original factory black MB text interior is immaculate.  There are no rips, tears or wear marks. The dash has no cracks or fading and the visors are flat.  The glove box still has the original M-B removable flashlight.  The clock works and keeps perfect time.  The original carpets are in very good condition.  The black canvas soft top is still like new.  The chrome and aluminum trim are also in excellent condition.  The trunk is like new with the original rubber mat.  It has the original jack & tool kit.  The original Becker radio has been replaced with a Kenwood am/fm/cd radio.  (the original Becker will come with the car).  All the speakers were replaced.  The engine compartment is extremely clean as well as the under-carriage.  There is no grease or road grime.  Mechanically the car is in like new condition.  Everything works as it should.  It has been meticulously maintained. If you have any questions about the mechanics, feel free to contact me and I will go over the servicing history, which is extensive.  It runs strong and shifts like a new car.  It drives straight & tight with no shimmies or vibrations.  I will include with the sale a complete set of factory service manuals, car & cockpit covers and hardtop cart.  I have all the service records and invoices for work performed.  If you would like additional, detailed pictures, let me know. This is truly an excellent example of a very low mileage, well maintained 350SL.  It can be driven or shown with confidence.  I would encourage any serious buyers to have it inspected.  You will not be disappointed.  Any questions contact me at 530-621-4566.

Daimler exec hypothetically discusses 3-cylinder engines for small hybrids

Wed, Mar 26 2014

Is three the magic number of cylinders for Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and its efforts to build smaller powertrains for its compact hybrids? Potentially, yes, the German automaker could see the need for three-cylinder mills, Automotive News reports. The company doesn't have any plans for them as of yet, though. Daimler executive Bernhard Heil talked with Automotive News about the challenges of using four-cylinder engines in a front-wheel-drive setup and said that three-cylinder engines could work in transverse-mounted powertrains for hybrid cars. For now, though, the company doesn't actually have any plans to go in that direction, Mercedes-Benz spokesman Christoph Horn said in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen. Horn wrote that Heil "actually said that if ever MB would use a three-cylinder engine than [it would be] in a configuration where space is restricted, such as when using a hybrid power train in a compact car." Of course, the only compact "hybrid" that Mercedes-Benz has is the 2015 C-Class, but that refers to the "hybrid" body is made of 48-percent aluminum, up from the current nine percent, as well as steel. It has nothing to do with the powertrain. Beyond that, there's always the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid that the company unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall, but that model, which will debut in Europe later this year and arrive stateside next year, has a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 and an 80-kilowatt electric motor that propels the plug-in from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds. Not exactly three-cylinder territory, that.

Mercedes Sprinter updated to take on Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

By the end of this year, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be the second-oldest nameplate in its segment here in the States, but with hot new competition waiting in the wings, Mercedes-Benz is giving its hauler a freshened look and more equipment to stave off rivals. The Sprinter was a pioneer in bringing Euro-style delivery vans to North America, and it's inspired others to transplant their Continental offerings, with the all-new Ford Transit and Ram Promaster models launching shortly. It will also continue to do battle with lower-cost traditional competitors like the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-Series.
The big Sprinter will thus get a new look to go with more safety features and available technology. While the information released here technically covers the Euro-spec 2013 Sprinter (which goes on sale in September), the US market is expected to get the new Sprinter for the 2014 model year with many of the same features. Some of this new technology includes a Crosswind Assist feature as standard equipment and the availability of Collision Prevention Assist and Blind Spot Assist as optional safety measures - Mercedes-Benz says that all three are firsts for any van in the world. Also added to the updated Sprinter is a new 1.8-liter supercharged gasoline (or CNG) engine producing 156 horsepower, which will complement the line of diesel engines that carry over and help make the Sprinter the first cargo van to meet the upcoming Euro VI emissions standards. Additionally, a lower ride height is said to improve fuel economy and should improve handling while aiding ingress and egress for both people and cargo.
In terms of styling, the Sprinter's new face also looks more like the current line of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. This includes a more upright grille along with changes to the hood, headlights and bumper that lend it a closer kinship to models like the CLS-Class and the updated E-Class. The Sprinter will offer both halogen and HID headlights, while the latter will get LED running lamps and offer Highbeam Assist. The images shown here only reveal the exterior from front angles, but it looks like few, if any, changes have been made to the rear of the van. Interior upgrades include a thicker steering wheel, a new shift lever and the latest in audio, navigation and entertainment systems. Scroll down for the official press release for the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

Mercedes teases massive new Maybach coupe

Wed, Aug 10 2016

Mercedes-Benz hasn't done a lot with its Maybach brand over the last few years. After killing the slow-selling standalone Maybach line, the badge sat unused, until MB slapped it on a luxed-out S600. But today, Mercedes posted a teaser of a new, two-door Maybach on its social media channels. Immediately given away by the Maybach badge on the C-pillar (and possibly one on the nose), we could be looking at a modern-day Exelero – a successor to Maybach's last coupe, a one-off, 700-horsepower rocket ship that deserved all the Darth Vader's car cliches – capable of extremely high speeds and stunning comfort. Everything from the long hood (better to accommodate some monstrous V12 engine) to the windshield's aggressive rake, to the absurdly long tail, signals a 200-mile-per-hour-plus top speed for this concept. And yes, we're thinking this is a concept. Kick the exposure way up with Photoshop and you can see that the side mirrors are too slim to actually function as normal mirrors – they're almost certainly cameras. Other details? Whatever Mercedes calls its new Maybach, it's going to be huge. According to the caption accompanying the teaser, this car is six meters (19.6 feet) long – that's over three feet longer than an S-Class Coupe and nearly four feet longer than a Bentley Continental GT. Like we said, it's enormous. And that's about all we know. Mercedes dropped this teaser out of the blue, nearly two months before the auto show season kicks off in Paris. It's possible the company could continue to tease out a new Maybach concept until early October, but more likely, we'll see an online debut ahead of the Paris show. Stay tuned.
