Here you go folks, a 1985 Mercedes 500 SEC for your consideration. This Mercedes is perfect for the Mercedes lover who's been looking for a 500 SEC to tinker around with while still driving it. The paint appears to have been done by a non-professional, and a few door dings, etc., that were repaired could of had a little more time spent on them. Black paint is one of the hardest jobs to sell, but look killer on anything! The front bumper must have barley tapped something and provided a few cracks as pictured. Overall, a great 50 footer, but nothing a little elbow grease and paint won't fix! :)
The interior seats are real nice, and someone had the entire interior leather dyed to freshen it up, which looks great. A little bit of overspray on some interior pieces needs to be cleaned up. Dash pad is perfect with no cracks. Carpet is good, but with a little bit of shampooing, will look even better! All windows work, except the passenger rear window (may just be the switch). Right side mirror has to be adjusted manually.The front windshield has a small 2" crack in the upper passenger corner, but passed inspection. All lights work, horn works, stereo works (6 CD changer in trunk, antenna doesn't go up or down). AC seems to blow cool, but may need to be recharged. Power seats also work, as well as the sun roof.
This V8 Mercedes runs and shifts like a beast! Transmission shifts as it should, and the engine "getty ups" when giving her some gas. The engine could use a tune up however, as it idles a little rough. Car has been sitting for awhile, as the owner has three of these. The engine cooling fan runs all the time while the engine is running, but the car does not run hot. So assume the thermostat switch may need to be changed out.
The owner just had the vehicle VA State Inspected in July 2013. She also had 4 brand new Continental 205/65/15 tires put on. The following repairs were also made in July; engine steam cleaned, replaced license plate light bulb, and fixed right side marker light, replaced brake strut bushings, replaced rear sway bar stands. A lot of money just put in it to get it inspected.
So, if your looking for a car that was approx $80K back in the day, here's a nice project to pick up and with a few weekends of TLC, will be a great car to own! Good luck.

Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]
Sat, 23 Feb 2013Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.
How could a lifted Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG be more awesome? Add an axle
Fri, 01 Mar 2013We are fully confident in saying that this will be the most amazing thing you see all day. First of all, it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen - in AMG spec, no less. And it's being shown off in high-definition video glory, blasting through the desert, jumping over sand dunes, and generally being awesome. But here's the kicker: It has six wheels. Three axles. And they're all driven. Holy $%!#.
Under the hood is AMG's usual 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, and total output is rated at 536 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That's impressive and all, but do keep in mind that the G63 6x6 weighs in at 8,322 pounds or, you know, the weight of two E-Class sedans. Combine that with its 18 inches of ground clearance, 37-inch tires and five locking differentials and you've got a vehicle capable of, well, everything you've ever imagined or will ever imagine for the rest of your life.
But the goodness doesn't stop once you open the doors. Oh, no. This thing is fit for a king - or a sheik, more appropriately - with ultimately luxurious seating for four. The rear bench seat has been removed in favor of two bucket seats with a fixed console in the middle, and the rear seats have been moved back beyond the usual B pillar to allow for more legroom.
