Mercedes 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.  

 

The photos accurately reveal the character, fit and finish of this outstanding automobile.

2016 Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG Sport bridges the gap between C300 and C63

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Mercedes-Benz is looking to its new C-Class for the second member of its new AMG Sport line, unveiling the C450 AMG 4Matic at today's 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Like the GLE450 AMG Coupe that debuted in early December, this particular C-Class bridges the gap between the standard C300 and the new Mercedes-AMG C63. Considering this, the C450 builds on the standard C400's 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, rather than getting a bespoke, high-performance engine. Output is up from 329 horsepower to 362 ponies, while torque is turned up from 354 pound-feet to 384 lb-ft. The result of these upgrades is a zippy 0-60-mile-per-hour sprint of 4.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. Those figures are identical to the Audi S4, while the BMW 335i xDrive is just a smidge quicker to 60, getting there in 4.8 seconds (the Bimmer is, however, limited to just 130 mph). Shuffling the 3.0-liter's grunt to a 4Matic all-wheel-drive system is the responsibility of Mercedes 7G-Tronic automatic gearbox that, despite not being a member of AMG's Speedshift dual-clutch family, still has its own mind for performance. Along with a quick-shifting, automatic Sport Plus mode, the C450 has a full manual shifting mode that, notably, will not automatically upshift, even when the engine is bouncing off the rev limiter. The C450 AMG hasn't only had its straight-line abilities boosted. Mercedes saw fit to include an AMG adaptive sport suspension with three-stage adjustable dampers, which have been pilfered from the C63 AMG. Paired with the aforementioned all-wheel-drive system, which can send up to two-thirds of its power to the rear axle, it's a fair to say this particular sedan should be one of the brand's more agile and entertaining. Beyond the mechanical bits, Mercedes has beefed up the exterior and interior aesthetics for its second AMG Sport model. The exterior has been touched up with new, staggered 18-inch, five-spoke wheels (or optional 19s), a more aggressive front fascia, a new rear bumper with a matte iridium diffuser, distinctive AMG badges and plenty of chrome and gloss-black elements. The cabin, meanwhile, is home to black MB Tex upholstery with red contrast stitching on the dash and doors, while AMG-specific upholstery lines the sport seats. The flat-bottomed, three-spokes steering wheel, meanwhile, is finished in Nappa leather. We'll have more on the 2016 C450 AMG Sport, including live images, coming soon from the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show.
