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.

Sunday Drive: Volvo hits a crossover home run, and people still love sports cars

Sun, Sep 24 2017

Looking back at the week that just was clearly tells us at least three things. First, crossovers don't have to be boring. Second, people still love sports cars, from the attainable (Audi TT RS) to the fanciful (Mercedes-AMG GT C). And finally, the traditional German trio of premium luxury brands had better not rest on their laurels, because credible challengers are coming in from every direction. The biggest reveal of the week, at least judging by the interest of Autoblog readers, was the Volvo XC40. Not only is the little 'ute a looker, it introduces some innovative new buying/leasing schemes designed to appeal to an audience accustomed to trading in and trading up every couple of years. Think of Volvo's flat-fee lease as you would a smartphone contract, and you'll be on the right track. Genesis looks to have a hit on its hands in the form of the G70 sport sedan. We took a Korean-spec model for a spin and found a lot to like about the upstart contender. We can't wait to sample one here in the United States to see how it stacks up against the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In other news, we're still really excited to see a production Ford Ranger Raptor. But if you just can't wait for the official reveal — it's OK, neither can we — take a look at the renderings in our post down below. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry.

2017 Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet includes guaranteed exclusivity

Wed, Nov 16 2016

For certain buyers, the only thing better than a super-luxurious cabriolet that requires enormous sums of money to buy is a a super-luxurious cabriolet that money can't buy. That's what Daimler promises with the 2017 Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet to be unveiled at the LA Auto Show. Limited to 300 units worldwide and just 75 in the US, having just three available color combinations magnifies the exclusivity. Turning the Mercedes-Benz S-Class cabrio into a droptop worthy of the Maybach family means slight revisions outside and in, and a whole lot of Maybach badges. Instead of the three lower intakes familiar from Mercedes' corporate language, there's black mesh highlighted by a shiny design element. It's not the most graceful face from dead-on, looking sort of like a chrome-lined grimace picked up from Wallace and Gromit. A Maybach emblem adorns the fenders and gleaming kickplates, the 20-inch wheels add an edge to the brand's traditional dinner-plate design. The 6.0-liter, twin-turbo V12 carries over from the donor convertible, with the same 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque hooked up to a seven-speed automatic transmission. The only three color treatments available in the US will be Zircon Red with a porcelain and black interior and a black top, Cote d'Azur Blue with a porcelain and saddle interior and a beige top, and Designo Diamond White with a porcelain and Yacht Blue interior with a dark blue top. The cabin works nautical themes lifted in part from the Mercedes-Benz Style Arrow 460-Granturismo yacht. Perforations in the leather seats evoke waterfalls. The "Flowing Lines" trim ornamenting the seats comes two different colors depending on the exterior hue; either "Piano lacquer" black with the Zircon Red or Magnolia Nut Brown with the other two options. Buyers will find profuse badging in embroidered, embossed, and inlaid varieties, as well as chrome-plated "1 of 300" lettering in several places like the cup holder and steering wheel. The few lucky customers who buy an S650 will also find a four-piece set of Maybach-badged luggage in the truck, two travel bags and two weekenders tooled up in the same leather as the interior. The key fob gets finished in Porcelain leather. A car cover comes standard, in the same color as the convertible top. A certificate signed by the mustachioed one, Daimler Chairman Dr. Dieter Zetsche, provides the corporate-badged icing on the cake.
