Description

I am a broker, I have been hired to sell this car. All the pictures, that you see in this auction, were taken by me, with an ordinary digital camera and then downloaded on this auction. They are the original photographs. They have not been touched or tampered with in any way. What you see are genuine pictures of a genuine car. I am very proud and honored to present this vehicle for auction on ebay. Not very often to cars come along, that have been lovingly taken care of, such as this vehicle. This auction I am presenting a 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC. Two door sedan, with rear wheel drive and very strong 190 horsepower, 4.5 liter V-8 engine. If you were to walk up to this car, you would think it brand new, it looks, feels and smells new. This car has been in Southern California since brand new. The first owner was an executive and used it for the first year, then his job supplied him with a car. The second owner, saw the car and fell in love with it. This car has always been garaged since brand new, the original "Walnut Brown" paint, is stunning, right down the incredible dual two tone pin stripes on the side and wheel wells as standard for the 450 SLC. The car has been kept completely original. The car has been meticulously maintained and repaired. All recalls by Mercedes-Benz have been completed to date. All services have been completed on the vehicle to date. It has a clean title. Clean car fax. The "Palomino" leather seats and surrounding upholstery are magnificent. All guages work as designed. The air conditioning is a cold as ice. The original radio works perfectly. This vehicle comes with owners manual, all service and maintenance records. Tires are new. Look at the pictures, look at the beautiful wheels, and chrome how they shine. You cannot tell the engine is running at stop signs. It has a smooth ride, and handles effortlessly. You cannot believe that this vehicle is over 30 years old, it is truly a treasure, especially with only 106,000 original miles. This owner made sure that this vehicle was always in perfect running order, and spared no expense. I would be hard pressed to find another in this condition. If you are looking, I strongly recommend that you take a second look at this beautiful car. Don't let this one get away.

The 450 SLC Story

They produced 31,000 450 SLC's during 1972 to 1980. The approximate MSRP ran about $41,592.00. This was one of the first sport sedans built for the public by Mercedes-Benz. This car came with a back seat. It's sister was the SL and that was just a two seater and the top came off. This car has a permanent or fixed top, with a sunroof, which added 1.2 inches to the vehicle height. They added 14.2 inches to the vehicle from the door to the wheel well and added a back seat. Mercedes-Benz at the time, was looking to come up with a vehicle that would compete with Citroen and Jaguar, and this was the car to do it. They added special louvers behind the back windows as a style feature and set it apart from the other models. There is no "B" pillar, so when all windows are down, it has a large openness and airy feeling. With the windows down and the sunroof open, I would say a nice drive up the coast in this car would be a beautiful drive. Autoweek at the time said of the 450 SLC, "The most superbly tuned motor carriage in the world, comfortable and agile."

Mercedes forced to lower MPG ratings on two C300 models *UPDATE

Wed, Oct 1 2014

*UPDATE: Donna Boland, manager of corporate communications at Mercedes Benz USA, told AutoblogGreen that the sticker change only applied to around 500 C-Class vehicles on dealer lots, since a new C-Class came out in late August. "About 500 are left in the United States, and we've relabeled them," she said. First Hyundai, then Ford and now Mercedes-Benz. The list of companies that have had to change their vehicles' official EPA fuel economy ratings has just grown by one with the announcement that the 2013 and 2014 C300 4-Matic FFV and PZEV versions need to have their EPA labels adjusted. The changes aren't massive, at most one mile per gallon. The changes aren't massive, at most one mile per gallon, but they are lower than before. The FFV version goes from 20 to 19 mpg in the city while the PZEV drops one mpg across the board from 23/20/29 combined/city/highway) to 22/19/28. The FFV's combined (22) and highway (27) ratings stay the same. Other Mercedes vehicles that were spot checked turned out to have accurate labels. The problem, which is reminiscent of the issues that Ford had with the Total Road Load Horsepower, was that "Mercedes underestimated the impact of aerodynamic drag and tire rolling resistance known as 'road-load,'" the EPA said in a statement you can read below. We have asked Mercedes for more information on the issue but have not yet heard back. We're not sure how many vehicles the EPA is retesting (or asking to be retested), but the agency says that the C300 models were evaluated again by Mercedes "with EPA oversight" and the EPA did its own tests at the National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, MI. Christopher Grundler, the director of EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, said that the EPA knows that the changes are minimal, but that, "it is important that our oversight system is producing the correct results because even one MPG matters to consumers." In case you need a primer in the recent history of companies adjusting their EPA numbers, check out this and this. Based on today's news, we won't be surprised to hear more changes are coming. EPA Requires Mercedes-Benz to Correct Fuel Economy Labels for Two C300 4-Matic Vehicles WASHINGTON - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is revising estimates for two 2013/2014 Mercedes C300 4-matic vehicles, the FFV and PZEV, to ensure consumers are given accurate fuel economy values.

Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.
