Riverside, California, United States

This is a 1984 500 SL, NOT a 1980. Ebay is still not capable of letting you properly list a non-USA VIN newer than 1980.
All my life I have been connected with Mercedes Benz cars. When I was in college I worked for the factory in Stuttgart-Untertuerkheim. I always loved their cars and I have been collecting them together with brochures and books for many years. Let me give you an overview about the one I have for sale: 1984 500 SL Euro version, imported from Germany with 5k miles to Texas and then to California in 2003 where it received a CARB certification. I bought it from a local MBZ dealer in Orange County, CA in 2012 and am the third owner. 141.700 miles 473 champagne metallic 253 brasil leather 440 cruise control 470 ABS 504 power mirror on right side 532 power antenna without radio 570 center armrest 581 climate control 590 tinted glass all around with rear laminated window 600 headlight washers and wipers 870 heated seat driver side 871 heated seat passenger side Absolutely no rust. Original paint with the exception of the left rear quarter which also has a slight peeling of the clear coat. Leather in excellent shape with one small crack on left seat on outer bolster. (See picture) Dash board has one crack approx. 1 cm long. (See picture) The soft top is like new inside and out with a clear rear window. The hardtop has a couple of minor scratches from putting it down in storage. Last year in November it had a new right side camshaft with rocker arms and a new timing chain installed. The left camshaft is in perfect shape. The engine runs smoothly and quietly with excellent oil pressure and water temperature. The transmission shifts perfectly. The suspension, brakes and steering are in excellent shape. Air conditioner blows ice cold air, power windows and door locks work as designed and even the cruise control works as it should. It had an aftermarket Alpine CD radio when I got the car. I took it out, but will include it together with a period correct Becker stereo. Every light, including dashboard lights work. All instruments are also fully functional. It still has the Euro headlights with upgraded H4 bulbs giving you fantastic lighting at night. The headlight washers and wipers do not work. This car needs nothing and can be driven and enjoyed for a long time to come. I will gladly assist with shipping within the USA or overseas. The car has a 1984 WA YOM (year of manufacture)plate which will never have to be renewed. There is a clear title in my name. It is also smog exempt and therefore I will not provide a CA buyer with a smog certificate. There is no warranty implied or expressed. |

First Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive rolls off line, coming to US soon
Fri, Apr 18 2014Mercedes-Benz is about to give Americans another choice of battery-powered vehicle. Offering more all-electric range than the Nissan Leaf or BMW i3, and with a smaller price tag than the Tesla Model S, the B-Class Electric Drive is officially set to arrive in the US this summer. Indeed, the first examples have begun rolling off the production line in Rastatt, Germany. Featuring drivetrain parts from Tesla Motors, the luxury compact hits all the performance parameters mentioned during its debut at last year's New York Auto Show. For a refresher, that's a single-charge range of 200 kilometers (124 miles) along with a 0-to-100 kilometer-per-hour (62 mile-per-hour) sprint in a respectable 7.9 seconds. These achievements comes courtesy of a 28-kWh lithium battery located in the floor of the passenger compartment and a 132-kW (177-horsepower) motor powering the front wheels. Torque specs for the unit seemed to have increased somewhat and are now given as 340 Newton meters (250.77 pound-feet). It boasts an 11-kW charger and can add as much as 62 miles of range to a deleted battery in an hour and a half. Sadly, it is not Supercharger compatible. The B-Class Electric Drive, which is built on the same production line as the gasoline-powered version, is going to go on sale in Europe around the end of the year and will also come in a right-hand drive version for other markets in 2015. Although pricing has not yet been announced, Mercedes execs expect it to be quite competitive with the BMW i3. Scroll below for the press release (Google translated from German). Model offensive: Mercedes-Benz launches first major series for electric cars - the start of production at Mercedes-Benz in Rastatt: B-Class Electric Drive begins For the first time large-scale production of Mercedes-Benz models with internal combustion engine and electric drive on the same line Stefan Abraham: "With the B-Class Electric Drive we are expanding our production portfolio at the Rastatt plant is a highly innovative drive variant." In the Mercedes-Benz plant in Rastatt today through the first B-Class Electric Drive off the line. This makes Mercedes-Benz models are produced with internal combustion engine and electric drive on the same line at the site for the first time. The B-Class Electric Drive is based on the Mercedes-Benz front-wheel drive architecture of the new Mercedes-Benz compact car generation and uses the modular component kit.
Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies
Fri, 13 Dec 2013It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.
Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
