I am listing my friend's 240D for him so here is his description. I am selling my very, nice condition, 1979 Mercedes Benz 240D with many interesting options. EXTERIOR The body and paint are in superb shape. The car was painted an original Signal Red color to a high standard, but it was originally white. There is no evidence of the original white paint. The door strikers have some light overspray on them. The car was also color sanded and buffed and looks fantastic, dare to say better than an original paint one. All the aluminum trim is in excellent condition and the glass is original Mercedes. The windshield and windshield seal were replaced. The corner lights and original plastic head light surrounds are in fine condition and the tail lights are perfect with no cracks. The bumpers are the rare European ones both front and rear and are in very nice shape with no rust or dents. Even the rubber corners are not cracked or ripped. The front grille is not cracked or bent and the chrome is in super shape. The rims are the correct 240D ones that are all dated correctly including the original spare rim. The hub caps are straight and not damaged and painted the Signal Red to match. The white wall tires are new as well, and all wheels run true and are balanced. The car still has its original blue and yellow california plates too! INTERIOR Overall the interior is in excellent shape. The color is a less common reddish brown. The seats are firm with no rips or sags. The headliner is tight and not ripped or marked up or dirty. The door panels are original and in very nice shape too with no rips or marks. The dash has a few cracks. The carpets are original with no tears or fading. Steering wheel is tight with no damage either. The wood is good with a small chipped off part next to the emergency switch. The gauges all work and are accurate, even the clock works. The odometer reads 208,696 TRUNK The trunk is in immaculate condition. The trunk liners are like new with no marks or even dirt. The wooden board above the spare tire is not warped and all the paint in the spare tire is excellent. The car comes with the original Mercedes jack and lug wrench. The spare tire is nearly new. The original grey carpet is also in fine condition. ENGINE/ MECHANICAL The engine runs very well and I have maintained it regularly with all receipts. When faced with the option of a German part or a lesser Chinese version, I always chose the correct brand. The injection pump was adjusted to have a bit more power and the throttle linkage stopping point lengthened in order to have a little more power too. These small details allowed my 240D to accelerate more like a 5 cylinder 300D. This car is drives nicely on the freeway with no shaking and good power when getting up to merging speed. Transmission was serviced and does not slip. Kick down works and the shift bushings are in good shape too. I had the engine and underside de-greased then drove it in order to find any leaks and fix them. The engine compartment was then detailed as well. It is in superb condition. The air cleaner mounts and bracket were replace, the belts, power steering pump re-built, radiator flushed and block back flushed, new glow plugs, Diesel purge to the engine, new air cleaner, fuel filters ( both ), replaced the fuel hose, replaced the flex disc, brakes are new(er), replaced the battery. The car came with air conditioning but is not working now. Central door locking does not work but each door lock individually. Heat works fine. DETAILS The car has current registration and has a clean California title in my name. One key fits all locks as per original. The car is very clean throughout, very clean, and is a real pleasure to drive. The car is located in Los Angeles, and you are welcome, in fact, encouraged to come test drive/ inspect the car. Deposit of $750 is required within 48 hours of the close of the auction, the balance to be paid within 5 days of the close of the auction. I can help with the loading of the car should you want to ship it. The car is to be picked up no later than 10 days after the close of the auction, I do no have the room. You can fly in to LA and drive it home with confidence. I drive my car regularly and keep it in great running condition. |

Mercedes-AMG GT3 thunders into Geneva debut [w/video]
Tue, Mar 3 2015Mercedes-Benz took the opportunity to debut its replacement for the SLS AMG GT3 at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show today, showing off the new AMG GT3. Unlike the road car on which it's based, Mercedes ditched the turbocharged V8 for its awesome 6.3-liter V8, which also powered the GT3's predecessor. That's far from the only change found for the racing variant of the new model, however. Mercedes conducted a serious overhaul of the car's aerodynamics, fitting a huge rear wing and an equally enormous front splitter. The front bumper is also home to a quartet of winglets, which add even more downforce to the front end. As we suspected in our original post on the GT3, the rear of the car has been fitted with a none-too-subtle rear diffuser. The cooling needs of the track have also been enhanced, courtesy of large ducts on the fenders and a deep vent in the hood, while meaty slats sit over the front wheel wells. In addition to the rear diffuser, large ducts have been fitted to both sides of the rear bumper. The AMG GT3 looks like a compelling offer in the world of customer racers, although we won't know that for certain until it hits the track for some competition. That should be later this year at the earliest, as Mercedes is targeting late 2015 for the first customer deliveries. Check out our live gallery of images of the new AMG GT3, direct from the floor of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. World premiere in Geneva for spectacular AMG racing car All-out attack : the new Mercedes-AMG GT3 Affalterbach. Mercedes-AMG will ring in the 2015 motorsport season at the beginning of March with the sonorous sound of the V8 engine: the new Mercedes-AMG GT3, with which the Mercedes-Benz sports car and high-performance brand is systematically expanding its motorsports presence, will be making its debut appearance at the Geneva Motor Show. Developed to comply with the FIA's GT3 race rules, the racing car will compete in the world's most hotly contested customer race series. Cutting-edge racing technology and spectacular design predestine the new challenger for victories. The new GT3 is based on the Mercedes-AMG GT, which is being launched in just a few days' time. Following an intensive test phase, the new AMG racing car will be shipped to the first customer teams at the end of 2015. The Mercedes-AMG GT3 will blaze new trails in customer sports with its intelligent vehicle concept.
CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711
Fri, Jan 7 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.

The mood at this year’s Paris Motor Show: Quiet
Tue, Oct 2 2018The Paris Motor Show, held every other year in the early fall, typically kicks off the annual cavalcade of automotive conclaves, one that traverses the globe between autumn and spring, introducing projective, conceptual and production-ready vehicle models to the international automotive press, automotive aficionados and a public hungry for news of our increasingly futuristic mobility enterprise. But this year, at the press preview days for the show, the grounds of the Porte de Versailles convention center felt a bit more sparsely populated than usual. This was not simply a subjective sensation, or one influenced by the center's atypically dispersed assemblage of seven discrete buildings, which tends to spread out the cars and the crowds. There were not only fewer new vehicles being premiered in Paris this year, there were fewer manufacturers there to display them. Major mainstream European OEM stalwarts such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Nissan and Volkswagen chose to sit out Paris this year, as did boutique manufacturers like Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. This is not simply based in some antipathy on the part of the German, British and Italian manufacturers toward the French market — though for a variety of historical and societal reasons that market may be more dominated by vehicles produced domestically than others. Rather, it is part of a larger trend in the industry. Last year, Mercedes-Benz announced that it would not be participating in the flagship North American International Auto Show in 2019 — and that it might not return. Other brands including Jaguar/Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Mazda and nearly every exotic carmaker have also departed the Detroit show. Some of these brands will still appear in the city in which the show is taking place, and host an event offsite, to capitalize on the presence of a large number of reporters in attendance. And even brands that do have a presence at the show have shifted their vehicle introductions to the days before the official press opening in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. In many ways, this makes sense. With an expanding number of automakers, with diversification and niche-ification of models and with wholesale shifts that necessitate the introduction of EV or autonomous sub-brands, there is a growing sense that, with everyone shouting at the same time, no one can be heard.
