1978 Mercedes-benz 450sel 6.9 Sedan 4-door 6.9l on 2040-cars
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
The Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 was produced between 1975 and 1981 in extremely limited numbers. Between those years only 1816 where imported to the US. Only 437 in 1978. I am listing this 6.9 for a friend of the family. Her husband was the second owner of this car and had it for many years. The husband has passed so I don't have much information on the cars history. I have done some research and I do know that the car is somewhat rare. There is another 6.9 listed on eBay right now that is absolutely gorgeous and in a different category altogether then the one I am listing here. That being said, this car is a pretty good example. Everything on the car is fully operational and it is in great mechanical condition. The car has been well maintained and needs nothing in regards to the mechanics and operation. However, the car is not without some cosmetic issues that I will attempt to describe to the best of my abilities.
The interior is in outstanding condition with little or no noticeable wear. However the steering wheel is not original and neither is the radio. The leather seats are perfect. There are no rips or stains anywhere. There are two locations where the chrome trim on two of the door panels is coming off (Images 22 & 23)
As far as the exterior, there are a few issues. I have taken pictures of all the imperfections I could find and I will describe them one by one.
There is blistering in the paint on the hood/window cowl at each lower corner of the windshield (Images 19 & 20)
There is blistering in the paint on the right rear fender next to the bumper wrap around and the rubber on the wrap around is loose (Image 16)
There are a few chips on the door edges in a couple of places (Images 17 & 18)
There are a few chips 3-4 here and there that I took pictures of but didn't list as to not use up my allotted images. Overall the paint is in pretty good condition and you would have to look close to see the defects. That being said, I do believe the car has had a repaint sometime in the distant past. I would like to add that the wheels are in perfect condition. No curb rash, rust or imperfections of any kind. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you for looking.

Maybach Pullman, S550 4Matic coming next
Mon, Nov 24 2014Mercedes-Benz officially revived the Maybach name as a sub-brand with the reveal of the luxed-up S600 at the LA Auto Show last week, but that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the German automaker's new plans for its uber-prestige marque. Motor Trend reports that Mercedes is planning two additional Maybach variants to launch in the near future, both of them also based on the S-Class. First up, we're told to expect the even longer Pullman limousine to launch, complete with Maybach treatment, at the Geneva Motor Show next March – although this model won't necessarily be offered in America. Whether it will or not, the Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman will be even bigger, more luxurious and more expensive than the one just unveiled. What is being planned for US customers, however, is an Maybach S550 4Matic. Mating the 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8 to all-wheel drive would be a boon for wintery upscale markets, and is reportedly a more feasible option than trying to pair the V12 to the 4Matic system. As for other model lines, we've heard rumors of a Maybach GL-Class utility in the pipeline, but have yet to receive any such confirmation. Car confirms, however, that we shouldn't expect to see AMG versions of Maybach models. The two are being cultivated as separate pillars atop the Mercedes range – one focused on performance, the other on luxury – and never the twain shall meet. The previous model line did breed a sportier Maybach 57 S, however, and we wouldn't be surprised to see a similar treatment applied to one of the new models should Daimler find there's demand. In related news, MT also reports that a new S-Class Cabriolet is coming around the corner, and that the G550 is preparing to drop its aging 5.5-liter V8 in favor of the GL's 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6.
Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron
Tue, Jan 3 2017Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.
