There is missing carpet rusty places and brakes that need to be gone thru. I am currently driving the car and it has a few fixable problems. Not Perfect."

What we have here is a nice driver. The tires have been replaced since we took the pictures last Saturday. They are brand new black walls.This car is a long way from being perfect. The wind caught the trunk lid and bent the sail panel between the trunk and cab. A hammer and dolly should massage it out pretty easy. There is two bubbled up rust places. One is on the drip rail of the trunk, this is the worst. The other is on the top of the fender. There are a few others but these are the most noticeable. The car has sat for a number of years and when we purchased it, it was not running. I removed the gas tank and took it to the local radiator shop to be vated and cleaned out. The tank looked like it is newer than original. It cleaned up real nice. The fuel sending unit is intermittent. The carburetor jets were cleaned and reinstalled. I have driven the car about 100 miles and it runs real good, I would not be afraid to take it on a trip if the brakes were gone thru. The car pulls to the right when you hit the brakes. The pads have a lot of life still left in them. The rear driver side wheel cylinder is leaky. I would recommend replacing all the wheel cylinders and then you are sure of whet you got. The engine runs good and the transmission shifts good.

The underside has a few visible problems. It looks like someone in the past has patched up a few places. The undercoating is heavy in places with signs of rust under it. Look at the pictures and see the oil on the engine and rear end.

The CLOCK is missing. The glove box lock needs a key and to be installed. The trunk key is missing and will not shut properly until the dent is massaged out.

Overall the car preforms well to not be a fully restored car. It is very presentable. The gauges and interior are presentable. The red shows well and the seat covers are nice. The numbers seem to match, however I am no expert and if this is of the upmost importance to you, I will do my best to tell you what you want to know. Better yet, come and look at it. Email me for the address.

The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 is pure electric excess

Fri, Aug 19 2016

The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 is a two-door, two-passenger coupe that spans over 18 feet long. Everything about this car is more than you need. But isn't that the true definition of ultimate luxury? With so much sheet metal, it can be tricky to get everything to look right, but Mercedes seems to have done nicely with this concept. Overall, the car's long nose and short deck are reminiscent of the Mercedes-AMG GT, and the long, tapering tail and lights are similar to that of the Mercedes-AMG Vision Gran Turismo concept from a few years ago. Capping off the front of the Mercedes-Maybach 6 is a proud, prominent grille that the company claims was inspired by a pinstripe suit. At each corner are 24-inch wheels with transparent panels based on the transforming, aerodynamic wheels of the Concept IAA Mercedes previously showed. Powering this massive coupe are four electric motors that can produce a combined 738 horsepower. Mercedes says that will be enough to get the car to 62 mph from a standstill in under 4 seconds. The motors are backed by an 80 kWh battery that the company says can propel the car up to 200 miles. Perhaps more interesting than its range is the fact that the Mercedes-Maybach 6 can pick up a charge worth 62 miles in just 5 minutes, assuming you've got the right charger. This is technology that could really make a difference in the day-to-day practicality of electric cars, provided that it makes it to reality. The car can be charged either by being plugged in, or wirelessly with an inductive charging system. Inside, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 has even more fantastical features. It does retain analog gauges as a link to the past, but augments them with wrap-around glass trim that doubles as a display and touch-sensitive interface. The windshield seems to be pulled from Mission Impossible with its ability to display information. Sensors in the seats are designed to read the condition of the passengers and even their outfits to custom tailor everything from lighting to massage features. It's hard to say what the production odds are for this mega Mercedes, but you probably shouldn't hold your breath. Even for the rarified segment of seven-figure cars, this would be pretty extravagant. It wouldn't be impossible, or without precedent. Back when Maybach was still its own brand, the company created a ridiculous luxury coupe called the Exelero, and they sold the fully-functional car.

Race Recap: Singapore Grand Prix is about a safety car and submission

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

The Singapore Formula One Grand Prix is the Monaco GP of the Orient - a weekend known more for its glamour and time-slot than on-track action, with a temporary circuit that punishes every mistake, usually terminally.
Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas got the best of Free Practice 1, opening the curtain on a possible resurgence of Silver Arrows performance. By the time qualifying was done, though, it was his teammate Nico Rosberg who lined up second on the grid, followed by Romain Grosjean with a beautiful performance in the Lotus, Mark Webber in the Infiniti Red Bull, and Hamilton all the way back in fifth. Behind them were Felipe Massa outqualifying Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button getting the McLaren into eighth, Daniel Ricciardo with another good Q3 effort to get into ninth, and the shocker of Esteban Gutiérrez getting his Sauber into the top ten for the first time this year.
At the front of the pack was Sebastian Vettel. Again. But he was only ahead of Rosberg by a single tenth of a second...

Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.
