Here is a beautiful, solid, straight, documented 1975 450 SEL that was one family owned (father/son) from May 1975 until late 2012, when it was sold to the mechanic who serviced the car thru a shop, for many years and those receipts are included totaling almost $3000 from 8/09 until 6/13 and fewer than 1000 miles during that time. New belts, total brakes including calipers, tune up, valve cover gaskets, battery, tires and more. Here is an example of miles driven based on service records recorded in the included Mercedes Service Book:
5/20/75 671 Miles
9/15/75 4283
5/12/77 20,026
6/26/78 30,830
10/29/82 49,967
5/7/86 62,981
3/8/90 75,000
8/20/09 80,725
I did not include all the records but this gives you an idea of the way the car was used. For the last approx. 20 years, the car was stored for use at a summer home here in Michigan by the Illinois owners and used during the summer and serviced by local garage when needed. The car surprising had one very, very professional repaint almost 20 years ago. I had to look very hard to find any sign of such as surely it was disassembled as much as possible by a professional shop. As photos show the paint is gorgeous!!!!
The interior is beautiful as shown. The removable floor carpets (like a mat) could stand to be redone as drivers side and drivers rear are in bad shape. I have not looked into replacement of them, but they could easily be put back in and nice floor mats put over them to cover the aged/worn spots. The dash is without cracks, the sunroof works flawlessly and even the cruise control works! The power locks are a bit tired and probably from little use. I drove the car about 80 miles today and it runs like nothing else I have ever driven. it was quite the luxury car of it's time. The V-8 sends this car down the road like you are in a smooth riding luxury train.... Hard to get used to the fact that 38 years ago a top of the line car that cost 3 times what a new Corvette cost, didn't come equipped with a right side outside mirror!!!
The hood insulation was removed years ago as pieces were falling off and burning, scaring the owner of an engine fire, and nothing has been replaced but think it to be a common item with some older cars. The lights work and car is very, very solid without dents, or abuse which is true of so many one owner old cars..... The dated factory radio was replaced at some time with a removable face, Alpine CD player and even the power antenna works!.
I am offering this car that has the miles of many 2 or 3 year old cars at $6599.... This car qualifies for historical plates and insurance for attending car shows or dry summer night drives or just use it as an inexpensive daily driver instead of paying $20,000 for a common day econo box and enjoy!
Available to ship worldwide and can keep stored inside secure awaiting your shipper that you arrange. I ask for a $500 paypal deposit at time of purchase and balance to be wired to me within 3 days. The title + documentation will be overnighted to you upon receipt of full good funds.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
Smart Cross Connect app changes how ForTwos get used [UPDATE]
Tue, Oct 27 2015UPDATE: The story's been updated with a response from a Smart representative. There are parking spaces, and then there are Fortwo parking spaces. Smart, which is owned by Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler, is looking for a way for its customers to take advantage of the difference. Think of it as a big thing for really small cars. Smart is working on an app for the redesigned Fortwo called Cross Connect that will be available as soon as next month, says Automotive News, citing Smart chief Annette Winkler. The idea is to connect owners of the diminutive two-seat vehicles to, for example, let them tell each other when there's a parking space that's too small for just about any other vehicle but big enough for a Smart. If you think that's a small thing, think again. The Fortwo is 8 feet, 10 inches long. That's almost six feet shorter than a Toyota Prius, which itself isn't exactly a stretch limo. In fact, the length of a Smart Fortwo is just 10 inches longer than the width of a Ford F-150, in case anyone was having misgivings about parking perpendicular in a parallel spot. Parking has become more relevant, and tougher, as more people move to urban centers. For instance, BMW said earlier this month that it would discontinue its DriveNow car-sharing operations in San Francisco because of the challenge of parking vehicles on that city's streets. Other possible amenities with the Cross Connect app including the enabling of personal car sharing as well as information on car washes that offer discounted rates for Smart Fortwo. Yes, there are some out there, apparently, and we salute them. Michael Minielly, a spokesman for Mercedes-Benz, confirmed to Autoblog that the Cross Connect features would be available in November.
