This car was originally to by RBM Atlanta to a Thomas D'Alessio. He sold it to the father of the man I purchased it from. He was a Mercedes mechanic and the car passed to his son when he died. The car was meticulously maintained from new with every oil change record noted in the maintenance book. Every page of the service book is complete. In addition there are detailed service and repair records from new to the current date. When the so had the car he embarked on a complete maintenance and restoration project that generally started in 2005 and was mostly completed by 2009. There are volumes of receipts and notes from the work he did on the car. He did the restoration as a tribute to his dad and his license plate read, "FORMYDAD".
The car was stripped to bare metal and re-painted in it's original "Light Ivory". This is a very high quality paint job, probably it would cost as much as the car to have it prepped and painted to this level. There are no dings or scratches. New cad plated hardware was used for door latch, hood and trunk latch pieces. All rubber parts on the car were replaced. All anodized trim was replaced. Glass is very nice. There are a few scratches on the front and rear bumpers. They appear original.
The interior is original except for new carpet and refinished wood trim. There are several cracks in the leather seats and in the dash. Headliner is without tears. Overall, the interior is very clean and matches the quality of the exterior. Everything works as far as switches, gauges, etc. in the interior.
The trunk is very clean with new rubber mats, and it includes the original, unused spare, full tool roll and jack.
He re-built the engine and transmission in August 2005 at about 210,000 miles. Currently it has about 226,075 miles. Under the hood, much was replaced, including new PAC automatic climate control system, new steering box, new a/c components, re-built injection pump, re-built vacuum system, and more. The engine compartment is also detailed.
Under the car, all wheel calipers were replaced, new exhaust system fitted, new cv axles, new sub frame mounts, re-balanced drive shaft, new shocks, torsion bar bushings, differential mounts, park brake cable, rear coil springs and mounts and more.
From 2005 to 2013 many more maintenance items were recorded in the books. Recently one o-ring was replaced at the injector pump and the a/c system serviced.
Underside the car is very clean, with no sign of rust.
The car presents very well, drives smoothly, and is probably as reliable as an older Mercedes can get.

Singer Porsche, Koenigsegg, NSX: Leno's life doesn't suck
Tue, Oct 6 2015Jay Leno had quite a productive trip this year during Monterey Car Week. Not only did he get to pal around with Ian Callum and check out the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but the denim-clad comedian also headed to The Quail to talk to some prominent figures in the modern sports car scene. Capping off the fun, he got to take a drive in a Mercedes-AMG GT S, too Perhaps the highlight of this show is a nearly 10-minute interview with Christian von Koenigsegg. The founder of the Swedish hypercar company digs deep into the Agera One:1's engineering details, relating interesting facts about the aerodynamics and transmission. In addition, Leno chats with Rob Dickenson of Singer about its newly reimagined Porsche 911 Targa, and he gets the latest scoop on the Acura NSX's progress from newly promoted Acura Vice President and General Manager Jon Ikeda. If you like hearing about the nuts and bolts of sports car development, then this video can't be missed. Of course, we were there at Monterey, too, and we pointed our own cameras at some of the amazing machinery, both vintage and modern, at all the various car-focused events of the week. Take a look back at some of our own cool footage in the videos below. Related Video:
The 2016 Spanish Grand Prix flipped all the scripts
Mon, May 16 2016The Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit and the Hungaroring fly the flag for processional races, yet Spain's Circuit de Catalunya is arguably as bad. Before this weekend, the pole-sitter won the race 19 times out of the last 25 years. The front row of the grid produced 23 winners in the past 25 years. The racing gods edited that script this year, when a first-lap crash and two mid-race strategy changes kept things open until the end of the 66-lap race. It started when Mercedes-AMG Petronas teammates Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton took each other out on Lap 1. After Rosberg passed pole-sitter Hamilton into Turn 1, Rosberg's car slowed through Turn 3, somehow in the wrong mode. Hamilton closed in on Rosberg so quickly that once the Brit ducked inside for the pass, he couldn't back out. Rosberg, however, closed the door so suddenly that Hamilton had no choice but to drive onto the grass. When Hamilton spun, he collected Rosberg and both Mercedes' ended up in the gravel trap. The stewards deemed it a racing incident. The crash put Red Bull teammates Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen in the lead, followed by Toro Rosso driver Carlos Sainz and the Ferrari duo of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen. Both Ferraris cleared Sainz by Lap 10, leaving 56 laps for them to haul in the Red Bulls. Ferrari loosely followed Red Bull's pit strategies. Ricciardo pitted on Laps 11 and 28, Vettel pitted on Laps 15 and 37. Verstappen pitted on Laps 12 and 35, Raikkonen pitted on Laps 13 and 36. Pirelli predicted a three-stop race as the fastest and that the medium tire could only go about 23 laps. Verstappen and Raikkonen didn't get those memos. So while Ricciardo and Vettel came in for third stops the Dutchman and the Finn stayed out, with Verstappen ahead of Raikkonen at the front of the race as of Lap 43. That's when Verstappen – 18 years and 227 days old – proved how good a driver he is, lapping perfectly as second-place Raikkonen closed the gap to a little more than half a second. The Finn still couldn't get past the Dutchman down the pit straight even with the help of DRS, nor under braking at the only real passing opportunity into Turn 1. At the end of Lap 66 Verstappen crossed the line ahead of Raikkonen, a victorious end to Verstappen's first race weekend after being promoted to Red Bull. Further back, Vettel and Ricciardo fought for scraps, the German staying ahead to finish third.
New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC
Sat, 02 Feb 2013Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.
