If you have always wanted THE super coupe from the Gordon Gekko extravagant 1980's this is your chance! Up for auction is a super clean 1986 5.6 liter 238 horsepower 287 lbs. of torque fire breathing land rocket.  This is the forgotten coupe that was the car that all others aspired to be during the Big Hair Big Metal Bands heyday!  1986 is a pivotal year in the history of the W126/C126 chassis because it is the first year of the 5.6 motor that was a huge horsepower increase over the 5.0 of 1984/1985.  This motor was brought over to the USA to deal with the challenges being brought forth by the likes of BMW Lexus and Jaguar.  This 560 sec has ice cold AC all of the windows go up an down for the "full coupe" hardtop convertible experience.  The sunroof tilts perfectly but sometimes the sunroof does not slide back without a little help.  The original floor mats are in nice shape and the steering wheel has a cover on it.  All of the problems areas on the SEC are functioning in this car-- The seat belt "butler" is working. The dashboard is beautiful with no cracks and the rear self-leveling suspension is trouble-free. The steering wheel forward and back option is working. The seats are in good shape but have covers on them for protection. The fog-lights are fine as are the headlight wipers that come with the car.  The wood all around the car is in super shape and all of the window switches work fine.  The adjustable passenger mirror switch works great but sometimes the clip gets a little loose in its position.  The rear of the interior has cloth covers on it to protect it from the rear sun glare. The paint is in stellar shape but appears to have been redone at some point in its life.  The headliner is in nice shape but seems a little weak near the rear glass. A picture is included.  The rear glass is not leaking nor is it getting the famous white delamination. The HVAC system is great but sometimes the off button needs to be pushed a little harder to keep it in its position and on some settings the blower sends 20% of the air to the defroster vents.  I am not sure if this is normal or if it is a vacuum leak.  These cars are notorious for the complicated HVAC system. The original HVAC tutorial card is included.  The car has upgraded speakers all around and a Pioneer CD player but the original Becker is included for the purists out there.  The car has brand new tires as well as a set of new front brake pads and just had the transmission and rear differential serviced. The car even has the original wheels that it came with and has a great spare in the trunk and even still has the Mercedes-Benz First Aid Kit. The motor on this car is in top shape and she has a great bill of health.  She does not burn any oil and there is no noise coming from the chains or guides.  She idles a little over 600 @ idle with the air off and around 800 with the AC on.  I just completed a 500 mile round trip in the car and she was a champ.  The brakes and transmission service were just done after the trip so she is ready to enjoy for many more miles.  This car has all of the original manuals from 1986 and even has the letter stating how long it would take to get a new key from Germany should you need it. as well as the original instructional cassettes on the becker radio and SRS system. The reserve on this car is super low for how clean it is and this car is well above the other "rats" that are being shown on the internet.  She is not a museum piece but a solid driver that would make any person proud to own her.  They truly do not make the German Sherman Tanks like this anymore.  The hand built Mercedes coupes are a thing of beauty.  The weight of the door as it closes and makes the "bank vault thud" should be an experience that all should enjoy.  This truly is a land rocket that was designed to drive in comfort from Key West to Washington State.  I have great feedback and can send many more pictures.  If you have any questions please ask!

 

Thanks

Car dealers, factories and ports close in the path of Hurricane Florence

Thu, Sep 13 2018

Hurricane Florence has caused CarMax to close four stores in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The closed locations are in Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Winterville and Virginia Beach. It is possible for the company to close more stores, reports Automotive News. Daimler and Volvo have also shuttered their manufacturing facilities in the region to prepare for Florence. The storm is expected to reach North Carolina and South Carolina today or tomorrow. Automotive News says every coastal car dealer it reached on Tuesday was closing, and others not in the projected landfall area were monitoring the situation. There are approximately nine million vehicles in operation in the area that Florence is expected to hit, with a vehicle density of 162 vehicles per square mile. It is likely that not as many vehicles will be lost as during hurricanes Harvey and Irma, as population is less dense; areas affected by those storms had over 300 vehicles per square mile. The chief economist of Cox Automotive told Automotive News that some 20,000 to 40,000 vehicles could end up flooded if Florence keeps its path; however, recent reports have indicated Florence has weakened to a category 2 hurricane on Thursday. Tesla has again unlocked more range for some of its older models to make evacuation easier; the same was done a year ago in preparation for Hurricane Irma. As well as automotive manufacturers and dealers, automotive transport providers are readying for the storm and clearing cargo away. The container and auto terminals at Port Charleston will be closed from Thursday to Saturday, affecting part shipments to the BMW manufacturing facility in Spartanburg; BMW's spokespersons have said no production disruption is expected. Parts are delivered via railroad to Spartanburg by Norfolk Southern, which is also suspending operations for the time being. Vehicle hauler United Road has moved its rigs to safer regions and suspended deliveries, and car carrier vessels are trying to make it away from the storm's path in time.

A weird end to a weird F1 season | 2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix recap

Mon, Nov 28 2016

The 2016 Formula 1 season ended with a bang that came from a direction no one expected. Lewis Hamilton put his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole position and then got away clean to start the race. Teammate Nico Rosberg did the next best thing, lining up in second and following right behind Hamilton for most of the race. Other than Rosberg's wicked pass on Red Bull's Max Verstappen to retake second place on Lap 20, things stayed all quiet at the front. Come Lap 32 of the 55-lap race, however, observers began to wonder why Hamilton was driving so slow. The Brit, working every trick he could think of to win the Driver's World Championship instead of just the race, dogged it out front trying to push Rosberg back into the chasing mix of Red Bulls and Ferraris. Over the next 15 laps Hamilton's race engineer repeatedly radioed ideal lap times. Hamilton only occasionally hit the times until finally saying, "I suggest you let us race." When the one-stopping Sebastian Vettel blasted his Ferrari from sixth to third, nosing up to Rosberg's gearbox, Mercedes team honcho Paddy Lowe got on the radio to instruct Hamilton to go faster. Hamilton replied that if he wasn't going to win the championship he didn't care about winning the race. Hamilton repeatedly zoomed through the first sector to keep everyone behind, then clogged up the works through Sectors 2 and 3. The problem with his plan was that the Red Bulls in fourth and fifth couldn't get close enough to threaten the trio at the front; even if Vettel had got by Rosberg, Rosberg would still win the Championship with a third-place finish. As it happened, Rosberg finished second behind the disconsolate Hamilton. Vettel took third, followed by Red Bull drivers Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo, then the second Ferrari piloted by Kimi Raikkonen in sixth. Nico Hulkenberg took seventh, beating Force India teammate Sergio Perez for the last time as an intra-team rivalry. Felipe Massa closed his F1 career with ninth place in a Williams chassis that he got to take home as a gift from the team. Fernando Alonso scored the final point for McLaren, a touch of sweet for the team after the bitterness of Jenson Button retiring on Lap 12 with suspension damage. Rosberg's second place earned him 385 points for the season, enough to take the World Driver's Championship from Hamilton by just five points. Some have put the title down to Rosberg's consistency, others to his car's reliability.
