1960 MERCEDEZ BENZ 190 SL

FIRST CLASSIC CAR EVER SOLD ON EBAY
AS ANNOUNCED ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA!


Entirely rust free and very original 1960 Mercedes Benz 190SL matching numbers, with its rebuilt Webber carburetors, ivory  finish over a saddle leather interior. Mechanically sorted and with freshly rebuilt carburetors, rebuilt engine, transmission, fuel tank, new brakes and brake lines. It is believed to be all original except for the addition of a Fireball Electronic Ignition and retrofitted Audi starter.  Its original numbers-matching engine starts right up without any smoke and idles consistently, maintaining excellent, even compression across all cylinders and pulling strongly under acceleration, thanks in part to its accurately tuned rebuilt Webber carburetors and a decade of detailed care and gentle use. The car’s original gearbox is smooth and correct, with effortless up and down shifts across all gears, and the car’s brakes and suspension all function as they should. The car’s body is straight with even and correct panel fits and gaps throughout. The windscreen and windscreen rubber is all original. Bumpers and major chrome parts  have been re-chromed. The car’s undercarriage is entirely solid and correct, without  rust and the car sits on its original color matched, hub-capped steel wheels.

 

The car’s  interior is equally as clean, the saddle leather seats and interior panels showing only the most negligible of wear, the new complimentary tan carpets and the leather wrapped dash free of any significant wear or sun damage. However, the cars fuel gauge is aftermarket. The car retains its ivory steering wheel, as well as its clock and fully operating Becker Europa radio.

 

The car has been meticulously cared for and well preserved.  The car was used solely as a garaged and well-taken-care-of weekend driver and event participant. Accordingly, the car remains in exceptional original condition, marred only by the most insignificant of imperfections, none of which

 

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an appreciating classic  rust-free, cosmetically gorgeous and mechanically sound. Show quality examples have been selling routinely above $230,000, and as high as $269,500 at auction, prompting incredible market demand.





 



I am offering this car through Piano Outlet as a favor to a dear friend, this car played a part in our pianos being offered on Ebay. 
Sometime in 1999 I received a call from a friend of mine (Michael) who I met when he came in to buy a piano from me. He told me he bought a car off a web site called Ebay. At the time I was very involved with the classic car hobby and had been attending shows with different cars I would buy and and work on through the years. After spending some time at the some of the local cars shows he decided to get involved and made this spur of the moment purchase one night after a brief conversation with the previous owner. 
Shortly afterwards upon watching  "Good Morning America" they
mentioned his name in a story about the up and coming internet website "Ebay". Apparently his new toy was the first of it's kind to be sold online through Ebay. When the car arrived and was in the condition as advertised he was very happy and it was then I thought it would be a great experiment to see how my pianos would sell online through Ebay. The rest is history!
I have since had thousands of pianos through my showroom being shipped all over the world.

Which car companies are creating new jobs in America?

Fri, Sep 22 2017

Since January, automakers have announced investments totaling $9.5 billion in U.S. plants, creating or retaining more than 12,000 jobs. Some of those companies have yet to announce just how many jobs will be created given their investments, with the location of many of those jobs still to be determined. Specifically, the 4,000-job Toyota-Mazda joint venture plant still hasn't announced its location, with numerous states jockeying for it. Hyundai has plans to invest $1 billion but has not announced a jobs number yet. And likewise Ford is investing $1.2 billion in Michigan without specifying a number of jobs. Volvo this week announced plans to add a second line to its factory under construction in South Carolina, spending another $500 million and adding 2,500 jobs to the 2,000 it was already trying to fill. Then Thursday, Daimler announced a $1 billion expansion to its facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce EV batteries and electric SUVs, a move that will add 600 jobs to its hiring this year. Above, we've created a handy pie chart showing you which companies have announced new jobs and how many there will be.

The Mercedes G-Class gets the full Maybach treatment before the curtain finally closes

Mon, Feb 6 2017

Like the hotdog and soda combo at Costco or the official website for the 1996 movie Space Jam, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has soldiered on nearly unaltered since its birth. Sure, there have been variants like the wonderfully over-the-top G63 6x6, but the G-Wagen is essentially the same squared-off SUV with rifle-bolt locks and doors with enough mass to support a minor gravity field. Spy shots show a replacement is finally on the horizon, but based on the leaked YouTube video above and Instagram post below, it looks like the current model is going to get the full Mercedes-Maybach Landaulet treatment before the curtain finally closes. While there has been no official word from the automaker, all signs point to a genuine Mercedes-Maybach product. The vehicle is badged as a G650, which falls in line with other current V12-powered Mercedes-Maybach products. The Maybach name and badge are found in all the expected places. The license closely matches other Mercedes German-manufacturer plates. The carbon fiber fender flares and portal axles look like they were taken from the G550 4x42. The latter means, despite the increased wheelbase, this new model should still be a formidable off-road machine. This content is hosted by a third party.

That means high-quality leather surfaces throughout and an increased focus on rear seat comfort and convenience. If this is indeed a G650, it's packing a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 under the hood that churns out 630 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque. The partial convertible top is what gives this the Landaulet moniker. According to the text on this Instagram post, there will only be 99 examples produced. Look for a full reveal in the next few months. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
