Up for sale is my 1969 Mercedes Benz 280SL Pagoda convertible project. It has been totally disassembled on a restoration that began 8 years ago. The car is 99% complete. The only thing I know of that is missing that we couldn't locate was the radio and the front windshield glass and 3 hubcaps. This was a running and driving car before the restoration began. All the difficult parts are present including the engine, all engine parts, the transmission, the rear end, the fuel injection, all of the chrome trim, all gauges, seats, interior trim pieces, the soft top which was restored and has a relatively new top, the hardtop and all hardtop hardware and glass, 4 wheels and tires, the bumpers, radiator, front axle assemblies for both sides, all sheet metal including an extra passenger side door that is complete with regulator and glass, extra set of headlights, extra taillight. Nuts and bolts are labeled and were put in baggies. The previous owner also made video tapes of the disassembly and these are included. Right front fender and rear panel under trunk lid will need some repair as can be seen in the pictures. Previous owner said the bore on the engine was standard. And that the transmission was good as well as the rear differential. The Bosch fuel injection has been filled with oil and capped off. We have a clear title to the vehicle. We will build a subframe with some caster wheels so that the car can be rolled and transported. The body is very solid with little to no rust. Underneath looks good as do the rockers and the floors and the trunk area. The car has been primed with Dupont light green etching primer. We have taken over 250 pictures of the car and all of the parts. Please click on the link below:
If you are looking for a project, than this is the one! You will have a very nice car when you are done worth a handsome sum of money. This is the last of the breed, a very desirable Pagoda. The parts alone are worth what we are asking for the car. If you have any questions please call Tom Nelson @ 919-522-4412. We are a licensed and bonded and insured auto dealer in North Carolina. We have an "A+" rating with the Better Business Bureau. The title to the vehicle is in hand. We can assist with transport (buyer pays cost of transport). We have sold quite a few cars recently to customers in Europe. If you decide to purchase the vehicle please have the funds set aside to do so since it takes a lot of time and energy and resources to list a car on Ebay. Thanks for looking!

Mercedes testing C-Class plug-in hybrid modes in Germany
Wed, 07 May 2014Testing appears to be underway for what would be the first Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a hybrid powertrain. We can see a pair of the prototypes undergoing testing in Germany, with one, a C-Class Wagon, still heavily clad in camouflage and featuring a more noticeable outlet on the passenger side of its rear bumper.
There's also a more production-looking sedan, which features a not-so-discreet flap over its rear-bumper outlet. It's difficult to speculate on power outputs for this fuel-sipping C-Class, although our spies seem to think that this car will feature some combination of a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor, although just which four is unclear (note, we wouldn't mind if MB fit its 2.0-liter turbo with some batteries and motors). Regardless, the four-pot/electric motor seems like a pretty reasonable combo, although it probably means that Mercedes won't be challenging the six-cylinder-powered system of the BMW ActiveHybrid3 any time soon.
When the plug-in C-Class arrives later this year as a 2015 model, it will likely offer a full range of driving modes, including both gas or electric, only, as well as a more traditional hybrid mode.
2015 Brazilian Grand Prix is the same as it ever was
Mon, Nov 16 2015At this point, we hope Nico Rosberg is planning to carry his current qualifying form into the 2016 season and back it up with the same kind of race-day cojones he showed winning the race in Mexico City two weeks ago. The Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver got it right enough again on Saturday afternoon to take his fifth consecutive pole position ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton by almost a tenth of a second. It's the same one-two from Brazil last year. The bad news for the rest of the field is that the winner in Brazil the last seven years has been one of the two drivers on the front row. Last year it was the Williams duo that lined up behind Mercedes, this year it's Ferrari. Sebastian Vettel plays the stalking horse, securing third in his Ferrari ahead of teammate Kimi Raikkonen in fourth. Williams driver Valtteri Bottas actually qualified in fourth, but he had to serve a three-spot grid penalty for passing under red flags in Free Practice 2, so he started sixth. That promoted Sahara Force India driver Nico Hulkenberg up to fifth. Daniil Kvyat was the quickest representative from Infiniti Red Bull Racing, getting into seventh even with a Renault power unit that's weak on some of the key stretches at the Interlagos track. Felipe Massa had the second Williams in eighth, in front of the second Red Bull driven by Daniel Ricciardo in ninth. Toro Rosso hasn't confirmed its drivers for next year but Max Verstappen keeps making it hard to look elsewhere, taking 10th. Rosberg is working nearly the same trick he pulled last year: drive like a second driver for most of the year, drive like a world champion for the last quarter of a season. He pulled away at the start and covered Hamilton just enough on the run to the first corner to keep Hamilton on the outside. By the end of Turn 1 the German had the lead and didn't give it up for the rest of the race outside of pit stops. Without overwhelming pace to pass and unable to follow closely, Hamilton could do nothing except ask his team for a different strategy to go for the win. When Mercedes told him "No," trying to protect Rosberg's second place in the championship ahead of Vettel, that was the race. Just like last year, Rosberg and Hamilton finished one-two. Vettel, Raikkonen, Bottas, Hulkenberg, and Kvyat drove lonely races to finish in positions three through seven.
2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
