The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Its mostly an unmolested, unrestored 40 year old, classic, high quality car. The stainless steel bumpers could use a polish to remove small scratches. The front right fender appears to have been painted at some point (long ago) but not noticeable to an untrained eye. Not working - clock and cruise control"

 You dont find rust free examples of 40 year old cars that often.  This car has been in Utah and Colorado and stored inside at that.  It has been lovingly cared for by the prior two owners and myself.  

Body- extremely clean/rust and corrosion free.  If you have a keen eye for detail, you will notice that all of the original clips and hardware have the correct finish on them, undamaged.  There are a few small dings and scratches  here and there but they do not distract  from this super shiny example of the classic 107 Mercedes body.  It comes with both tops, the hardtop and the almost unused softop with clear back windows.  The bright work is in great condition as well. The glass is in very good condition with no pitting, cracks, or chips.  Fit and finish-the doors, hood, and trunk shut with the thud of a bank vault.  Weatherstripping is still pliable and in good condition.

Interior- Black MB Tex is in extremely good condition as well.  No sun damage or visible wear to the dash, seats, original carpet, door panels, or sun visors.  Power windows work as they should and the air conditioning blows cold air. 

Mechanical- Wow, she drives great!  You can let the wheel go and it tracks down the road like its on rails.  Starts very easily and blows no smoke.  Looking inside the oil cap and the engine is clean and bright!  Looks like new.  I just replaced the muffler with OEM style unit, fan clutch and brand new Michelin tires on the orig  wheels/wheel covers.  I have a decent amount of service records dating back 2 owners. 

The radio is not orignial but does have CD and bluetooth capability.  Speakers were added to the back shelf area but were installed without damaging or cutting. 


Overall, a super nice straight, clean, dependable car to cruise around with.  It is a very nice driver quality car that brings smiles to all who see it.  

I have sold numerous vehicles and vintage motorcycles on EBAY and continue to maintain a 100 percent satisfaction rating.  Please ask me any questions you have about this car-I will describe or send additional information if you ask for it.

Daimler buying 12% stake in Beijing Auto

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Daimler and Beijing Automotive are officially going steady, with the German company set to take a 12-percent stake in the Chinese brand tomorrow. The two are already tied up in a Mercedes engine plant in Beijing, of which BAIC will increase its stake in, from 50 to 51 percent. Daimler will also get two seats on the Chinese company's board. BAIC may also gain the ability to produce cars on Mercedes-Benz platforms, according to Automotive News Europe.
The investment in BAIC comes ahead of that company's initial public offering, according to a report form Bloomberg, which indicates the deal will be inked tomorrow in the Chinese capital. According to the report, if the circumstances are right, BAIC may turn around and invest in the Germany company "soon."
It's not entirely clear just how much the 12-percent cut is costing Daimler, although it seems reasonable to assume that, as it's ahead of the IPO, the parent company of Mercedes is getting a bit of a bargain.

Ultra-rare Maybach 57S Coupe ordered new by Moammar Gadhafi is for sale

Mon, Feb 1 2021

One of Maybach's rarest 21st-century cars is for sale in Holland, and it owes its existence to one of the most controversial African leaders in recent history. Dutch exotic car dealer Auto Leitner listed a Xenatec-built Maybach 57S Cruisero coupe ordered and customized by Colonel Moammar Gadhafi but built after his death. Short-lived German coachbuilder Xenatec chose to start with the short-wheelbase 57 rather than with the longer and more stately 62. It didn't alter the sedan's length or wheelbase; instead, it created the Cruisero by extending the front doors, removing the rear doors, and adding more rake to the roof pillars. Several other minor visual tweaks set the coupe apart from the sedan, and the interior was given a more superficial makeover. Xenatec made no mechanical modifications, so power comes from an AMG-built 6.0-liter V12 twin-turbocharged to 604 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. It spins the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission. Although the coupe weighs 6,000 pounds, it takes five seconds to reach 60 miles per hour from a stop. The 57S Coupe was not a hefeweizen-fueled hack job haphazardly welded together in a shed. It was authorized by Daimler, and it was engineered to the same standards as the regular-production car. Executives were confident that they could sell 100 units to politicians, entrepreneurs, oligarchs, and other wealthy people around the world, but Xenatec filed for bankruptcy and closed after making only eight when one its main investors, a Saudi Arabia-based company named Auto Kingdom, abruptly stopped funneling money into the project. Gadhafi configured Auto Leitner's 57S Coupe, which was the fourth one built, and he should have taken delivery of it in 2012, but the Libyan Civil War that erupted in 2011 and ultimately led to his death on October 20 of that year derailed those plans. It was instead sold to another buyer whose identity is unknown. What's certain is that the person who ended up with Gadhafi's Maybach rarely drove it: its odometer shows about 1,429 miles. Highly optioned, this 57S is equipped with 20-inch wheels, soft-close doors, heated and massaging individual rear seats separated by a fridge, rear tray tables, front and rear air conditioning systems, a rear-seat entertainment system, and, for good measure a fire extinguisher.
