This convertible hardtop has been sitting in my garage for 12 years and the first 5 years or so I had been working on it to build my wife a hot rod, I spent a lot of money to have the engine rebuilt and the tranny also, but it was unfortunately put in by someone who had a garage but was not smart enough to work on a car of this complexity. This is not an easy car. I don't know why I let him touch the car but when I got the engine back it ran beautifully, then the new tranny came back, his swamper told me he took and beat the torque converter in. blown tranny, I had the old one put in but he put the lines incorrectly in and now it runs, but smokes. I spoke with a real knowledgeable mechanic who told me there was no way he could have hurt the new engine , The tranny leaked at the inner seal when i parked it 5 or more years ago, I had bought green leather seat covers and a whole parts car from this lady who had it and I stripped the car to the husk. I took and rebuilt the bumpers because they were all shot but amazingly the bad parts on the one were good on the other, so the bumpers are good. I undercoated it after I took off all the bottom rust used rubberized asphalt, then thick aluminum and another coat of asphalt, it is like stone now, the exhaust is custom, dual exhaust, thrush pipes, out to the back. When it ran before he messed with the tranny it sounded great but it would need work now. I have so many parts and all the extra parts from the other car, about double of each part. new radiator and air conditioner radiator,
At this point, a motor-head would really make out, considering all the money and time I put in the car, but as I am old, I just bought the wife a runner and this now takes up space in the garage.
I would gladly take a trade for it. This car has a lot of potential for the right person. If you have a good trade, because I know money is tight, I would consider it, but don't embarass the both of us. If you are looking for a car like this, with many, many extra expensive parts live me a shot.
Also, I have many many electrical parts you would have to pay a small fortune for in the dealer, if you need give me a try for a greater discount than you can get anywhere else.

Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo
Fri, 15 Mar 2013To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.
First Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive rolls off line, coming to US soon
Fri, Apr 18 2014Mercedes-Benz is about to give Americans another choice of battery-powered vehicle. Offering more all-electric range than the Nissan Leaf or BMW i3, and with a smaller price tag than the Tesla Model S, the B-Class Electric Drive is officially set to arrive in the US this summer. Indeed, the first examples have begun rolling off the production line in Rastatt, Germany. Featuring drivetrain parts from Tesla Motors, the luxury compact hits all the performance parameters mentioned during its debut at last year's New York Auto Show. For a refresher, that's a single-charge range of 200 kilometers (124 miles) along with a 0-to-100 kilometer-per-hour (62 mile-per-hour) sprint in a respectable 7.9 seconds. These achievements comes courtesy of a 28-kWh lithium battery located in the floor of the passenger compartment and a 132-kW (177-horsepower) motor powering the front wheels. Torque specs for the unit seemed to have increased somewhat and are now given as 340 Newton meters (250.77 pound-feet). It boasts an 11-kW charger and can add as much as 62 miles of range to a deleted battery in an hour and a half. Sadly, it is not Supercharger compatible. The B-Class Electric Drive, which is built on the same production line as the gasoline-powered version, is going to go on sale in Europe around the end of the year and will also come in a right-hand drive version for other markets in 2015. Although pricing has not yet been announced, Mercedes execs expect it to be quite competitive with the BMW i3. Scroll below for the press release (Google translated from German). Model offensive: Mercedes-Benz launches first major series for electric cars - the start of production at Mercedes-Benz in Rastatt: B-Class Electric Drive begins For the first time large-scale production of Mercedes-Benz models with internal combustion engine and electric drive on the same line Stefan Abraham: "With the B-Class Electric Drive we are expanding our production portfolio at the Rastatt plant is a highly innovative drive variant." In the Mercedes-Benz plant in Rastatt today through the first B-Class Electric Drive off the line. This makes Mercedes-Benz models are produced with internal combustion engine and electric drive on the same line at the site for the first time. The B-Class Electric Drive is based on the Mercedes-Benz front-wheel drive architecture of the new Mercedes-Benz compact car generation and uses the modular component kit.
Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
