Good tires, even wear, no alignment issues, no suspension problems. AC does not work, only heat & fresh air, starts right up and ready to go. Electric sunroof works but needs help. Two front windows work but the small rear windows do not operate properly and I leave them in place. Dash has cracks. Instruments & all lights work except, clock is not accurate. Windshield gasket should be replaced but not leaking, just old and has silicone filler. Upholstery re-done in the front & some in back, not leather & has some wrinkles on the back rear seat. Two stage gold paint is less than 30 days old and was the original color.
Mechanic inspection and work completed by mechanic at my son's shop (Exotic Line Motors).
If you know the sound of a good diesel engine this will make you very happy but realize this is not the turbo model, if you know the sound & feel of a good transmission you will be very satisfied (no slips or harsh shifting). California car purchased locally & I was told I am the 3rd owner but have no records to verify. Prior owner had no records so I had my mechanic go through the car to make sure all was in good working condition. I believe the odometer is accurate and has not been tampered with. I purchased this car recently for the purpose to re-sell and hold the clean signed off pink slip with Calif. tag paid until May 2014. Car is driven daily and miles will go up daily at least 15 miles. Does have a slight oil leak, may be the oil pan gasket. Front windshield could use a new gasket.

Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]
Sat, 23 Feb 2013Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.
Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion
Wed, Jun 17 2015While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.
Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
