1978 Mercedes Benz 450sl roadster. 93,600 original miles. Odometer has 7 digits and there is a zero in front. So we know it is the true mileage. No battery and is currently non-oped. Ran when parked over 10 years ago where it has sat in a driveway under cover. As far as we know it might just need a battery to start it up. Has an aftermarket Hitachi am/fm cassette player installed that comes with the manual. Automatic Transmission. This a convertible roadster. Unsure if there is a soft top. There is definitely a hard top. All glass looks real good. The interior is beautiful. No tears or rips, or stains on the seats. Dash has no cracks. The bottom part of the armrest on the drivers door is loose. Other then that it looks real good. Body is real straight too. The running light on the passenger is busted, but does have a replacement light that comes with the car. Some moderate rust bubbles on top of both headlights. Front bumper on right by bumper guard has some dings and the right front bumper guard itself is cracked. Couldn't get the hood latch to engage to open the hood. So therefore no shots of the motor. There was also a small rust bubble on the right rear quarter panel and some small rust bubbles by the antenna. Comes with 2 spare tires and rims plus an extra rim. All Mercedes. All the rims including the ones on the car are somewhat weathered. The tires look decent and hold air. Also getting back to the interior the passenger seat does not seem to engage when you are trying to push it forward to get in the back seat.. The reserve on this vehicle is based on completed auctions on Ebay plus a parts car price stated in 2014 Collector's Car Price Guide. Even though this car is more a project car then a parts car.. This is also a cash in person auction. The other option is direct cash deposit or bank wire transfer. No exceptions on this. Must be completed in full in 3 business days. After which time you have 2 weeks to pick up the vehicle. Please have current updated contact information on Ebay. I expect people to have a working reachable cell phone and to contact me within 24 hours of auction's close. If you have little or no feedback and don't contact me before you bid I will cancel and block your bid immediately. Please feel free to ask any and all questions before you bid. I appreciate you visiting my auction. Thank you good luck and happy bidding! Also in closing there is a clear title in hand that comes with the car. And of course it is a California title. Since the car is not running it is being sold as parts car and will not come with a smog certificate for California buyers. Thanx again!

Maybach crossover looking more likely, Smart crossover possible
Fri, Apr 24 2015Mercedes-Benz executives are still making positive noises about the chances of a Mercedes-Maybach SUV. Following Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche's answer of "most likely" at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes Cars head of sales and marketing Ola Kallenius told Autocar that a Maybach SUV based on the next-generation GLS is "the more likely scenario." That's the same Kallenius that told Automotive News just last November that "we have no plans for it [a Maybach SUV]." It's a subtle shift, to be sure, but it's still a shift. The GLS – introduced as the latest-generation GL in 2013 – is still undergoing testing for its its mid-cycle refresh, so a Maybach version is a few years off. That would, coincidentally, give Mercedes time to see how the other super-luxe entrants are faring, and prepare its charge accordingly. Autocar expects that should it be built, it will come when the GLS shifts to the S-Class platform and most likely get the twin-turbo V12 from the Mercdes-Maybach S600 sedan, although the company's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 is possible if there are strong intentions for the Chinese market. Also on Stuttgart's agenda of dreams is a Smart crossover, according to the report. It could be Smart's best chance at profitably extending the range, based on the mania for tiny utes, and that would help both Daimler and the ForTwo's Renault Twingo sibling. It sounds like this is a ways off, though, due to coming up with an engineering solution for the Smart's engine packaging. Related Video:
Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies
Fri, 13 Dec 2013It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.
