Hello, you are viewing my 1985 Mercedes  European version with a Lorinser ground effects and Lorinser springs,and real BBS wheels. Only 129017 well cared for miles. This Mercedes is in wonderful condition.  *****THIS IS A 1985 500sel, EBAY WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE EURO VIN UNLESS IT WAS OLDER THAN 1980******

 The paint is in very good condition (could use a detail/buff to remove some light haze spots from leaf stains in the paint). There are some small scratches and imperfections, over all very solid and presentable. 

 The leather interior is in excellent condition with no rips or tears (covered most of its life with sheep skin covers). The dash, wood, door panels, headliner and carpets are all in very good condition (also comes with the rear factory foot rest). All windows, sunroof, power seats,mirrors,heated seats, and even the built in radar detector all function properly. Radio is not connected because the prior owner took the aftermarket amplifier that was in the trunk (radio can be hooked up without the amp).

 Mechanically the car is excellent!!!!!!!  Runs, drives and shifts perfect great. This European version is much faster than the US car. This euro version car has 231 HP with 299 LB Ft of monster torque! Also it is equipped  with rear hydraulic suspension, European bumpers and lights, and dual selecting horn switch.

Recent work that was performed in the past 30 days;  idle control box replaced, rear suspension hydraulic lines replaced (as needed), replaced fuel and brake lines (as needed) Heat blows hot and the air blows cool (I would guess that it needs 1/2 pound of Freon, the compressor does come on). I would recommend new tire, drives very smooth and straight at 80mph. I would not hesitate to drive this car on a 2000 mile road trip. Exhaust is a true dual system with an H pipe (sounds great!)

Also included with the car, spare tire, books and the import and EPA documents from when the car entered into the United States in 1986.

 The car is sold in “As Is Condition” and with no warranty.

I do encourage pre-sale inspections.

 If you have questions, please send me your # and I will give you a call. Please bid if you are serious and have available funds to complete this transaction. Thank you.

Mercedes celebrates with World Championship edition SL63

Mon, Dec 1 2014

Mercedes has plenty to be celebrating at the moment, having just won the Formula One World Championship in spectacular style – taking the constructors' title by a huge margin and the top two slots in the drivers' standings as well. It almost goes without saying that the German outfit would celebrate with a special edition, and that's just what we're looking at here. Presented at a special celebratory Stars & Cars event in Stuttgart in front of 50,000 jubilant fans, the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG World Championship 2014 Collector's Edition is based on Benz's twin-turbo V8-powered roadster but with some choice upgrades. Two versions will be offered: one in black with gold accents (displayed with the Silverstone circuit layout), the other in white with silver accents (and the Hockenheim map). One was designed by Lewis Hamilton, the other by Nico Rosberg. We'll let you sort out which one was done by which, but either way there'll only be 19 examples, each dedicated to a different grand prix circuit in the championship which Mercedes positively dominated – winning all but three, scoring eleven one-two finishes and landing on the podium at each and every one.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman

Fri, 25 Nov 2011

According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
