Up for auction is my 2001 Mercedes Benz CLK-430 AMG Convertible. I traded this car to some good friends of mine for a BMW 750il sport about 4 months ago.  They are seniors and this was the wife's car for nice days.  Unfortunately, her mobility has been compromised over the years and she was no longer able to get in and out of this car due to it being so low.  They really liked by BMW and asked if I would trade.. So as a favor I said yes.... I miss my BMW. Anyway, I don't need this car so here it is for sale.  

The car has a salvage title due to marginal front and rear damage.. My friends purchased the car from a friend of theirs who was the original owner.  It was involved in a slow speed accident up in Napa, California.  It was pushed from the rear into the car in front of it at a signal.  I viewed the car when it was brought down here and it was fully functional and really only had minor bumper damage and the hood was bent around the grill area.  They had the rear bumper and the hood replaced.  I do know that the front bumper was repaired as it wasn't the bad.  I really am not sure why it was salvaged.. it was a simple repair and really didn't cost much.  The car was put on a laser frame machine and checked for any damage before it was repaired and it was deemed that there was no damage or movement at all to the body.  All off the door gaps are factory.  Everything including the top works and fits perfect and required NO repair due to it's minor accident.  That will tell you that the damage was marginal.. 

The car is the factory black out AMG sport edition.  (Actually a factory black metallic.  It "appears" black, but is actually a deep dark charcoal grey...a rare color).  It does have many unique Mercedes options as you can see in the pictures including the rare, upgraded factory Bose stereo with GPS and CD changer in the trunk. Also has the adaptive stability control for far better handling than a standard CLK. Comes with rear factory deluxe wind screen package with complete rear seat screens and a rare set of factory rubber heavy duty Mercedes all weather CLK floor mats. Everything works properly.  Ice cold A/C.  I know that the climate control panel was just professionally replaced with a rebuilt unit.  Per my friend, it recently underwent full service including:

1. Spark plugs
2. Valve cover and breather gaskets/seals
3. New radiator about 6 months ago with cooling system flush and factory Mercedes coolant installed.
4. New belt and tensioner
5. New water pump and thermostat at time of radiator
6. oil and filter within the last 500 miles
7. Transmission flush and service with factory Mercedes filter and fluid.
8. New brakes on all 4 corners with factory pads 300 miles ago.
9. Brand new complete set of Continental Extreme Contact Directional tires- all 4 with 500 miles
10.New air filters
11.New cabin filter
12.New top of the line Interstate battery made specifically for these cars.

I am sure there is more, but this is all I can remember from my conversation with my friend.  They are very particular and always have their cars repaired and serviced with factory parts and fluid.  Take a look at the pictures.. you can see it is a very clean car as it has been garaged as long as my friends have had it and I believe it was garaged in Napa.. It has always been owned by seniors, so it has never been abused, raced, or neglected. It has really only been spoiled.  I think that is why my friends decided to buy it from their friend and have it repaired. Drives straight, quiet, and solid. 

HAS THE RARE EUROPEAN BLUE GLASS OPTION!!

If you are looking for a beautiful Mercedes convertible and the rare AMG model, then this is it.  Absolutely clean chassis and suspension. No  leaks ever! Yes it has a salvage title, but only due to a lazy insurance rep. Didn't have any major damage and you can tell when you see and drive the car! I am selling the car as I simply have no use for it.  I only traded them for my absolutely beautiful 750il sport "Die another Day" model in the rarest of all optional colors (Did I mention that I miss my BMW?) as a favor as they are good friends of mine and were fearful of having strangers over to their house to see the car if they sold it themselves, being seniors. Look at the pictures, ask any questions you can think of, and make an offer.  It is being sold under value due to the technicality  of the salvage title.  A rare change to get a great price on a very rare Mercedes Cabriolet.. Ver nice, used car that has been cared for condition.. Draws admires wherever you drive her... she just glows. Current title and registration in my name and comes with a current california emissions/smog test. Passed perfectly clean!

Thank you...

2022 Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance Mega Gallery | The show in pictures

Mon, May 23 2022

COMO, Italy — Held annually, the Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance is, in many ways, Europe's version of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It takes place in a beautiful location, and it brings together an impressive selection of rare and valuable cars. It's a real treat for the eyes, the ears, and, if you're into champagne, the palate. The 2022 edition of the show was no exception: About 50 cars were shipped to Lake Como from over a dozen countries, and it wasn't just the usual suspects. Sure, there were a lot of pre-war cars (including a couple of one-off models), but some of the icons that younger enthusiasts grew up with (like the Lamborghini Countach) were present as well. This year's event was split into eight categories: The Art Deco Era of Motor Car Design, The Supercharged Mercedes-Benz, How Grand Entrances Were Once Made, Eight Decades of Ferrari Represented in Eight Icons, "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday," BMW's M Cars and Their Ancestors, Pioneers That Chased the Magic 300 KPH, And a design award for concept and prototypes. The jury gave the coveted "best of show" award to a 1937 Bugatti 57 S owned by Andrew Picker of Monaco, while the aforementioned classes were won by, respectively: The Bugatti 57 S, shown below, A 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet, A 1956 Chrysler Boano Coupe Speciale, A 1966 Ferrari 356 P Berlinetta Speciale Tre Posti, A 1961 Porsche 356 B Carrera Abarth GTL, A 1972 BMW 3.0 CSL, A 1989 Porsche 959 Sport, And the Bugatti Bolide concept unveiled in 2020. Winning at Villa d'Este is a big deal: The cars are judged by a panel of highly experienced judges. No one gave me a scoring sheet, presumably out of fear that I'd award points to the late-model Fiat 600 lurking in the parking lot, but several cars that didn't win an award caught my eye. One is a 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports, a grand-prix racer that was once owned by King Leopold III of Belgium and that has never been restored — its patina is inimitable. Another is a 1961 BMW 700 RS. One of two built (the other is in the BMW collection), it's a tiny, ultra-light roadster related to the 700 and powered by a 697-cubic-centimeter air-cooled flat-twin tuned to develop 70 horsepower. It won several hill-climb events during the 1960s, and it's one of the rarest cars ever to wear a BMW roundel. Aston Martin's freshly-restored 1979 Bulldog concept was cool to see as well; check out the cassette player integrated into the headliner!

Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift

Fri, Feb 20 2015

The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.

Promo video shows what the Mercedes G500 4x4 can do

Tue, Feb 24 2015

The Mercedes-Benz G500 4x42 is still nominally a show car, but it they're not treating it like one. They've provided their usual video follow-up to the press release and still photo launch, and they've made enough of the beasts to hold a press launch in Granada, Spain. It's even got AMG's brand new twin-turbo V8 engine in it, one that gets the 6,000-pound truck from 0-62 miles per hour in about 6.5 seconds. The only thing it needs to be a going concern is license plates; we guarantee it's not waiting on customers. Autocar could be jumping the gun, but they say it's expected to go on sale later this year for a price in excess of 200,000 pounds ($308,770 US) in the UK. Above is the promotional video, below is footage from GT Spirit from the press launch – notice how the G63 AMG in the background looks, shall we say, pedestrian. We're going to be crawling all over this truck at the Geneva Motor Show, and if we can find the keys, we might even drive it over the other show cars and out the door... or the nearest wall.
