1984 Mercedes 500 Sl. Imported 1984 Into The Usa. on 2040-cars
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. |

Singer Porsche, Koenigsegg, NSX: Leno's life doesn't suck
Tue, Oct 6 2015Jay Leno had quite a productive trip this year during Monterey Car Week. Not only did he get to pal around with Ian Callum and check out the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but the denim-clad comedian also headed to The Quail to talk to some prominent figures in the modern sports car scene. Capping off the fun, he got to take a drive in a Mercedes-AMG GT S, too Perhaps the highlight of this show is a nearly 10-minute interview with Christian von Koenigsegg. The founder of the Swedish hypercar company digs deep into the Agera One:1's engineering details, relating interesting facts about the aerodynamics and transmission. In addition, Leno chats with Rob Dickenson of Singer about its newly reimagined Porsche 911 Targa, and he gets the latest scoop on the Acura NSX's progress from newly promoted Acura Vice President and General Manager Jon Ikeda. If you like hearing about the nuts and bolts of sports car development, then this video can't be missed. Of course, we were there at Monterey, too, and we pointed our own cameras at some of the amazing machinery, both vintage and modern, at all the various car-focused events of the week. Take a look back at some of our own cool footage in the videos below. Related Video:
Watch Schumacher's hot lap of N"urburgring in Mercedes F1 car
Fri, 31 May 2013In advance of the Nürburgring 24-hour race last weekend, Mercedes-Benz put on a demonstration that had Michael Schumacher playing catch-up in a Formula One car against four examples of AMG metal. There were four cars sent off in staggered starts before Schumacher: an A45 AMG, E63 AMG 4Matic, SLS AMG Black Series, and an SLS AMG GT3 car. "Mr. Formula One," as the German television commentators call him, left three minutes after the SLS AMG GT3.
There are two videos of Schumacher's lap, the first is on-board footage - and even though there were several GoPros on the car the POV never cuts away from the front wing. You can hear the throttle and tell he's not pushing it, you can also tell how bumpy the track is. The second video is footage from the German Sport1 channel - with commentary in German - that shows all the cars taking off and takes the aerial view of proceedings. He looks to be going a lot faster in that one. You can compare and contrast yourself with the videos below.
Oh, and it's worth noting that, even with the likely restricted car, and the made-for-TV environment, Schumi turned in a quick lap. The nose camera shows the F1 car start to slow down on the back straight, near the start/finish line, right around the modern-length track record time of six minutes and eleven seconds.
European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.
