You are looking at a beautiful 1977 Mercedes Benz 450SL. This car has been well taken care of during its lifetime. Currently only has 159,650  miles on it. This Mercedes is a beautiful example of the class that these cars have carried along with them over the years. This is an example of a highly sought after color and  the prettiest color on any old European automobile, especially on two door convertibles.


Body:


The body on this car is solid. The panels are straight down both sides with no evidence of ever have being in a major accident of any kind. The paint on her is driver quality; it shows well but does have some small scratches and flaws in it. I would say it could be wet sanded and buffed to bring out a brilliant shine if the new owner is looking for a nice driver. The trunk pan and floor pans are very solid and clean.  The car is equipped with a beautiful metallic blue hardtop, which does not leak and is very solid. The soft top is brand new. All of the exterior lighting lenses are in great shape. The chrome is in great drivers quality with only minor tarnishing but no pits. All of the exterior glass is in great shape, no cracks and no chips. The infamous Mercedes Benz grill still looks amazing.


Mechanical:


This Mercedes is a clear cut example of the build quality of Mercedes V8 motors. It is very strong and fires up with the turn of the key. It runs very smoothly with no shakes, rattles or noises. The transmission shifts very smoothly through the gears with no slipping or lag. No mechanical issue that I am aware of on this Mercedes. The tires are in great shape with plenty of tread left for some wonderful drives. Under the hood is very sanitary and clean with some of the original stickers and markings still showing.


Interior:


The interior on this Mercedes is absolutely beautiful! It is very bright and brilliant and adds so much luster to the look of the car. The dash is absolutely gorgeous with the beautiful but there is a crack in it. All of the gauges are in working order and light up brilliantly during nighttime driving. The seats were just refinished, so no rips or tears in them. The carpet is in great shape as well is the headliner. The original owners manual and nameplate are included in the glove box as well as both of the tools needed to remove to hardtop. The interior of the trunk is in good shape and still has all of the spare tire and jack parts in the correct location. One of the door map pockets is missing but other than that and the crack on the dash the interior is pretty good and AC does work! 




This is a beautiful car that I regretfully have to sell.  I need the room in my garage now. It has always run good, although I have not driven it in several months. I have only put around 3000 miles on it in the last five years. This is a beautiful car that is perfect for daily driver for its new owner or would be a very nice neighborhood car that you could take on a nice trip with confidence and style.




If you would like more information on the car please feel free to email me with any of your questions I do my best to answer them as quickly as possible. You may also send me a message with your phone number and I will return all calls as promptly as possible as well. If you would like to view the car if you live in a close enough vicinity that is no problem we can work out those details and make an appointment for you to view the car.




This is going to make a beautiful addition to anyone’s collection or would be a beautiful and classy start. Do not hesitate to bid with confidence!

Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman

Fri, 25 Nov 2011

According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
