Up for auction is the last of my classic car collection.This is a 1991 Mercedes 560 SEC Coupe.I aquired this classic beauty about two years ago from it's original owner in California.I fell in love with it at first sight due to the color combination,Ice Blue Metallic with Gray Leather interior,( to my knowledge, this is the only one manufactured with these colors for this, the final year of production of the " hand built German Classic)". Only 220 were produced , and this was in the last batch that was built.

As you cas see from the photos,it is about as close to perfect as can be found on the market. This model was said to be the favorite for Princess Diana,and after owning it I can see why this would be true.It drives as new, and is admired by all that see it.

When I purchased the car and had it shipped to me I wanted to make it as close to perfect as possible. The transmission had a slight hesitation when shifted to reverse, (which is probably the only weak point on this year Mercedes), so I had the transmission rebuilt to Mercedes specs.All fluids were changed, maintance was performed, and all brake pads were replaced. A/C was changed to r134A at that time.

Records and original sticker is included,MSRP price was $ 84,580.00.The car now has 186 k miles which isn't many for a 22 year old vehicle.I sold my last one five years ago with 372,000 miles and was still going strong.This car is almost bullet proof if oil is changed when advised.This car has no oil leaks or other problems associated with the cars that spend their entire time sitting in a garage or museum--.Rubber seals don't like setting idle without being run.

As I stated, this is the last of my collection of classic cars and street rods.Due to inoperable back disk problems,I've been selling the cars which took me years to find.I've sold several street rods, a 2005 Chevy SSR, and my Cadillac XLR. This is your chance to get a Great 560 SEC.

If you have any questions, you can call me at (843) 697 8190. I have about $ 22,000.00 invested in this car but I have put a very reasonable reserve on this auction.

Please,no tire kickers, if you're not really interested, don't waste my time and yours.You must have a paypal account to bid, and I reserve the right to cancel any low or bad feedback bidders.You are welcome to have someone inspect the car, but please do this before you bid. I will meet with your shipper, but all shipping must be arranged by the buyer. A $500.00 deposit must be recieved withen 72 hours of completion of auction, and delivery should be taken within 2 weeks of auction end.This is an auction for United States only. Happy Bidding, this is a no disappointment car !!!!

VW could look outside its own ranks for next CEO

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Companies have two options when coming up with succession plans – hire within, or go outside its ranks. Either choice comes with advantages and disadvantages, to be sure. Hiring within means generally getting someone familiar with the company and its culture and traditions, while going outside is ideal if you're looking to shake things up and bring in fresh ideas. It's unclear which avenue the Volkswagen Group will go down when it comes time to replace its head man, Herr Professor Doctor Doctor Herr Martin Winterkorn, but he isn't ruling out a trip outside of Wolfsburg. Winterkorn has already given the reins of the VW brand to former BMW board member Herbert Diess, while Andreas Renschler, a former Daimler board member, is heading up VW's truck group. Now, Winterkorn has made some statements to a German weekly that indicate the most important thing about his successor isn't necessarily his (or her, though no women appear to be on the short-list) previous employer, Motoring.com.au is reporting, so much as his qualities as a leader and an engineering background. "A Volkswagen boss has to have a big affinity to our products. He needs to be close to customers and he needs to have a relationship with dealers," Winterkorn told Stern. "Like always, it depends on the personality and it also helps if the candidate is an engineer." Motoring throws out a couple of potential candidates from within, including Porsche boss Mathias Muller, Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler and engineering guru Ulrich Hackenberg, in addition to both Diess and Renschler. And while each candidate has a lot of potential, the only thing that's guaranteed right now is what Winterkorn has already said: "The decision about who will succeed me is not an easy one for the supervisory board."

The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 is pure electric excess

Fri, Aug 19 2016

The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 is a two-door, two-passenger coupe that spans over 18 feet long. Everything about this car is more than you need. But isn't that the true definition of ultimate luxury? With so much sheet metal, it can be tricky to get everything to look right, but Mercedes seems to have done nicely with this concept. Overall, the car's long nose and short deck are reminiscent of the Mercedes-AMG GT, and the long, tapering tail and lights are similar to that of the Mercedes-AMG Vision Gran Turismo concept from a few years ago. Capping off the front of the Mercedes-Maybach 6 is a proud, prominent grille that the company claims was inspired by a pinstripe suit. At each corner are 24-inch wheels with transparent panels based on the transforming, aerodynamic wheels of the Concept IAA Mercedes previously showed. Powering this massive coupe are four electric motors that can produce a combined 738 horsepower. Mercedes says that will be enough to get the car to 62 mph from a standstill in under 4 seconds. The motors are backed by an 80 kWh battery that the company says can propel the car up to 200 miles. Perhaps more interesting than its range is the fact that the Mercedes-Maybach 6 can pick up a charge worth 62 miles in just 5 minutes, assuming you've got the right charger. This is technology that could really make a difference in the day-to-day practicality of electric cars, provided that it makes it to reality. The car can be charged either by being plugged in, or wirelessly with an inductive charging system. Inside, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 has even more fantastical features. It does retain analog gauges as a link to the past, but augments them with wrap-around glass trim that doubles as a display and touch-sensitive interface. The windshield seems to be pulled from Mission Impossible with its ability to display information. Sensors in the seats are designed to read the condition of the passengers and even their outfits to custom tailor everything from lighting to massage features. It's hard to say what the production odds are for this mega Mercedes, but you probably shouldn't hold your breath. Even for the rarified segment of seven-figure cars, this would be pretty extravagant. It wouldn't be impossible, or without precedent. Back when Maybach was still its own brand, the company created a ridiculous luxury coupe called the Exelero, and they sold the fully-functional car.

Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid ready for 'major role' in urban areas

Fri, Jan 17 2014

We finally got a clear look at the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid at the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall, but it took until this week to learn what the vision (see what we did there) is that Mercedes-Benz has for the PHEV. Despite it's generous size, Mercedes thinks this is a vehicle that will work well in urban areas. Speaking to members of the media during the Detroit Auto Show, Thomas Weber, Daimler AG management board member and research and development chief for Mercedes-Benz cars, said that the S500 PHEV, "will play a major role in congested areas" and that it will offer "a lot of driving pleasure." Part of that pleasure will come from a 0-62 mile-per-hour time of around 5.5 seconds thanks to a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6 and an 80-kilowatt electric motor. The PHEV also has a 19-mile EV range, which will put it at the bottom end of the Three-Pointed star plug-in lineup. The upcoming C-Class plug-in, for example, will likely go, "closer to 50 km [31 miles]," Weber said, according to Green Car Reports. The S500 PHEV will go on sale in Europe later this year and will come to the US in early 2015 but there is no timeline, yet, for the C-Class plug-in (and the standard gas-electric hybrid version) or the even-more-future E-Class hybrids.
