1973 Mercedes Benz 450se on 2040-cars
Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States

For this Mercedes, there is a lot of good with this car and a tiny bit of work needed.
Runs, starts every time, driven daily, had many new parts and only one small spot of rust by the front right headlight assembly. Some minor things and a paint job and this thing is classic car show ready! Has the 250K Kilometer badge and certificate. New.... 2 fuel injectors, new plugs, new wires, new distributor cap, new rotor, new ignition points, new condenser, replaced- trigger points, new coil, new O2 sensor, new cooling sensor, replaced throttle position sensor, new fuel filter, new oil filter, new antenna, and new battery. Runs pretty good but not perfect. Sunroof works good, and the car has power! The 450se has the D-Jetronic engine which was one the best engines of all time. Now for the current minor issues, needs a new odometer (all of the instrument cluster was unhooked when purchased as the owner was restoring), ac doesn't work, needs a new blower motor for heater and needs a new muffler, headlight cover, and though the tires have plenty of tread they should be replaced but have been driven as they are with no problem. (cracks from setting) Also the rear seat back top is cracked from sun. The front seats are ok but not perfect, also needs a new hood release and cable. It can be opened with pliers pulling the cable so the engine can be viewed and such. The hood real ease and exhaust are probably the most pressing issues. In excellent condition this car can sell for as much as $11,000 or more. Hagertys Collector car insurance will insure the car for between $6,000 and $10,000. Now for more good, It's a sweet classic Mercedes. I bought it for my son as a project and it was barely running when we got it, we did some work and a local Mercedes mechanic did some work. Son is heading off to college and can't have a car and I would rather see it finished rather than left setting again. It set for a while before we got it. He has also switched his desires. It's a great car to finish and take to shows. Will trade for a BMW R1100rt or R1200rt. |

Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior caught in spy shots
Tue, 29 Jan 2013With the redesigned 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class getting closer to production, the camera-wielding crew over at Autospies somehow managed to get inside of the car to snap some detailed spy shots. As the prototypes continue to shed camouflage, it would appear that Mercedes-Benz is getting closer to unveiling the car, and with the Geneva and New York auto shows coming up, it could be sooner rather than later.
From what we can see of this car's interior, the overall look of the S-Class' cabin isn't a ground-breaking departure from the current car, but it has been completely redesigned with more advanced technology. The styling is now even more upscale with larger swaths of wood, more shapely door panels (without the built-in armrest cubbies) and the concept-like two-spoke steering wheel. The highlight of this car though is probably the two massive digital screens with one being used for driver information and the other used for navigation, audio and infotainment systems. One other detail we noticed about this car is that it was equipped with the new 360-degree camera that debuted on the new GL-Class and will also be used on the 2014 E-Class. We also know that the next-gen S-Class will be getting the new cloud-based MBrace2 infotainment system.
As for the exterior design, it looks like the next S-Class will carry a similar profile as the current car, but we can see through the camouflage that the new styling will fit in better with current Mercedes-Benz products. Up front, the grille is much larger is flanked by aggressive LED-trimmed headlights, while the rear view of the car shows us the LED brake light now at the top of the rear window, a more pointed trunk opening and a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed to the corners.
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
