Benz 560SEC: A meticulous paint restoration was done by Advantage Auto works, in North Richland Hills, TX at a cost of $8,500. All molding taken off, clips replaced, windshields removed and reinstalled with new gaskets. All moldings and cladding blacked out. There are no dings or scratches. The car was recently wet sanded to remove any shrinkage and orange peel. AMG wheels installed along with Continental DWS tires. Driver's side bolster and center armrest were re-skinned. Installed new fog lights and used European headlamps. Replaced ignition wires, freeze plug on right side of engine and replaced engine mounts and shock. Replaced front grill. Replaced ignition cylinder and key. Replaced front brakes and calipers. Reverse flush engine and install cooler thermostat. Replaced O2 sensor, gaskets on the intake manifolds, replaced air cleaner, replaced the fuel injectors, replaced flange, air filter, guide and fuel intake hose. Replaced incorrect fuel pump relay and ECU. Replaced fuel accumulator and temperature sensor. Replaced valve stem seals. Replaced front control arms and 2 front tires in January 2013, as the tires were cupped do to the worn suspension parts. The suspension has been lowered with H&R springs and new Bilstein struts. The front end was entirely re-bushed and the left front tie rod end was replaced along with the lower control arms. The transmission was rebuilt within the last 3 months. While the car shows very well, there is a small blister on the right rear quarter panel, just above the wheel well. The recommended fix is to cut out the metal 2” around the blister and weld in new metal. I will have the repair done if the buyer meets the Buy-it Now price. $25,000 invested after the car was purchased. This 2 owner, low mileage, meticulous restoration is a rare example of an extraordinary vehicle. The car was hand built and was Mercedes flag ship in 1991. It sold new for $84,000. This was the last year of production of the 560SEC and benefited from upgrades based on production and warrantee experience. For someone who knows these cars, values the workmanship and what has been done, this is a great value. Zims Autotecnik in Bedford, TX and Park Place Mercedes in Grapevine, TX performed the mechanical work done in Texas. I have all receipts for work that I had performed and I can send a spreadsheet of the expenses I have incurred since I have owned the car. While I have confidence in the car and the work performed, I urge an independent inspection be done on the car, which is a prudent practice prior to purchasing any vehicle. I have taken much satisfaction in bringing the car back to its original glory and driving has it been a pleasure. I have moved on to other projects and can only park 4 cars under cover. Having more than 4 classic cars would stress my wife in the extreme. My wife is a keeper, so the car is being placed on eBay.

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion
Wed, Jun 17 2015While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.
Lots of new cars were unveiled in Munich this week. Here's what you might've missed
Thu, Sep 9 2021The 2021 Munich Auto Show is happening this week and due to ongoing corporate travel restrictions, we remained firmly planted on this continent. So, although we can't tell you exactly what it's like inside the futuristic new Mercedes EQE electric sedan or fully appreciate the funky Volkswagen ID.Life concept, there's no shortage of details and analysis to provide. Obviously, as Germany's premier auto show in 2021, the cars unveiled were primarily from the German brands. We also focused mostly on the cars that might actually make their way to the United States, or at least inspire those that will.  2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE is an electric alternative to the E-Class While the EQS paved the way for Mercedes' electrified future, much like the S-Class before it, the EQE stands to be the car that will move in far greater numbers -- much like the E-Class before it. Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 View 12 Photos  Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept shows SUV future of the flagship brand Opulence will still have a place in an electrified future, as Maybach gets into the EQ game with a grand electric SUV. Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept View 4 Photos  Volkswagen ID.Life concept previews the city car's high-riding EV future Well, isn't this adorable? Though perhaps a tad derivative of the Honda E, Volkswagen's blocky little crossover EV nevertheless represents a handsome new direction for VW design. We like this better than the rounded looks of the current ID.3 and ID.4. 2021 Volkswagen ID.Life concept View 20 Photos  BMW i Vision Circular is a 100% recycled and recyclable hatch Behold, the next BMW 3 Series! Just kidding. Besides this, BMW displayed cars in person for the first time that it had previously only unveiled on the interwebs, including the new 2 Series and revised iX3. It also unveiled some bikes. BMW i Vision Circular Concept View 63 Photos  Audi's GrandSphere concept was designed as a road-going private jet Does Audi know what a sphere is? Cause this isn't anything like one. Still, it's quite a handsome thing, and as one of three Sphere-branded concepts, previews the next direction of Audi design (which is pleasantly reminiscent of two-decade-old Mazda design). No complaints here. 2021 Audi GrandSphere concept View 26 Photos  Porsche Mission R is a 1,000-horsepower electric monster Just like the Mission E previewed the Taycan, this apparently previews another future car.
UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
