SL-Class 8 cyl Automatic Convertible Gorgeous 1985 Mercedes 380SL – Three-owner
–California car with Major Maintenance Out-of-the-Way. This lovingly and well-kept, accident-free, three-owner, 115,000 mile
car has its original hood emblem, windows and many interior features. It comes with two remote control locks for
the both doors and the trunk. The beautiful original dash has just one small
crack that is not easily seen on the top and everything working as it should.
The interior has always been smoke-free and is in fabulous condition with clean
carpet and door panels. It includes a
set of after-market cup holders in the console. The radio and automatic antenna
work perfectly, and the car has a DVD player located in the trunk. It
also has 2 emergency boxes, a car cover, a stand for the removable hard top
that is in wonderful condition. Many cars do not have the detachable wind screen
that comes with mine although it has one small tear. The car has been well maintained and it has all of its books, paperwork
and tools and extensive documentation. It is an amazing value to find a
car in this condition, driven less than 4,000 miles per year that ALREADY HAS
THE EXPENSIVE TIMING CHAIN WORK REQUIRED AFTER THE 110,000 MILE POINT OUT OF
THE WAY!! Recent repairs include new exhaust system, new valves, new brakes and
the new timing chain with related work. The engine is extremely strong with no
oil leaks, the transmission shifts smoothly with no noise and the exhaust system
has been fully replaced. The AC has also been replaced recently and blows cold, switching from
heat to cold with no issues. The 380SL has never been in an accident; its been
garaged in California its whole life and shows no rust anywhere. It
has an extremely clean undercarriage. Without a doubt, this is one of the finest classically beautiful
roadster designs built by Mercedes-Benz. You will look long and hard to find a
SL380 car with only 115K original miles, driven less than 4,000 miles per year
and has the major maintenance work already out of the way. This is the
last and best year of the 380SL The body on this car is in great shape. The two small flaws shown in the
photos include a small dent below the right tail light and a cracked left tail
light. A former boyfriend found the car for me 3.5 yrs ago and I bought it for
our road trips. It’s only been driven16K miles since owning. After we split up I don’t like to take it out
alone and that is the reason I’m selling this beautiful car that I have
invested so much in repair work. Questions, please call Ketti at 323-284-8555. Life is too short to
drive an ordinary car! |

2015 Australian Grand Prix all about grooves and trenches [spoilers]
Sun, Mar 15 2015We can't remember the last time 90 percent of the action in Formula One had nothing to do with cars setting timed laps. Yet that's was the situation at the Australian Grand Prix, continuing the antics from a scarcely believable off-season with blow-ups, driver and team absences, a lawsuit, and a clear need for some teams to get down and give us 50 pit stops. Nothing much has changed from a regulation standpoint, and at the front of the field nothing has changed at all. Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas claimed the first position on the grid like someone put a sign on it that read, "Reserved for Mr. Hamilton;" teammate Nico Rosberg was 0.6 behind in second, Felipe Massa in the Williams was 1.4 seconds back in third. Sebastian Vettel proved that Ferrari didn't do another Groundhog Day routine this off-season, slotting into fourth. His teammate Kimi Raikkonen was not even four-hundredths of a second behind, ahead of Valtteri Bottas in the second Williams, Daniel Ricciardo in the first Infiniti Red Bull Racing, and rookie Carlos Sainz, Jr. in the first Toro Rosso. Lotus, now powered by Mercedes, got both cars into the top ten with Romain Grosjean in ninth, Pastor Maldonado in the final spot. However, even though the regulations are almost all carryover, in actual fact, everything has changed this year. Mercedes is even faster. Renault is even worse. Ferrari and Lotus are a lot better. Toro Rosso is looking like anything but a junior team. And McLaren is – well, let's not even get into that yet. Furthermore, this weekend was shambles: 15 cars started the race, the smallest naturally-occurring grid since 1963. Manor couldn't get its cars ready before qualifying. Bottas had to pull out after qualifying when he tore a disc in his back and couldn't pass the medical clearance tests. The gearbox in Daniil Kvyat's Red Bull gave out on the lap from the pit to the grid, and to give misery some company, the Honda in Kevin Magnussen's McLaren blew up on the same lap. When the lights went out, Hamilton ran away and was more than a second ahead of his teammate at the end of Lap 1. The advantage disappeared, though, because behind him, at the first corner, we got our first pile-up. As Raikkonen drove around the outside of Vettel at the right-hand Turn 1 it looked like Vettel, going over the kerbing, hopped to his left and bounced into Raikkonen.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale
Fri, 10 May 2013There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.
Ultra-rare Maybach 57S Coupe ordered new by Moammar Gadhafi is for sale
Mon, Feb 1 2021One 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.
