1974 Mercedes-benz 450sl on 2040-cars
|
THIS MERCEDES RUNS AND
DRIVES VERY GOOD (M117 ENGINE)! THE ENGINE FIRES
RIGHT UP AND IT HAS A SMOOTH IDLE AND EXCELLENT POWER. THE AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY AND THE RIDE IS SOLID AND QUIET. THIS CAR IS
A PLEASURE TO DRIVE! I AM A PRIVATE OWNER AND
I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE MAY 2013. I HAVE SINCE TREATED THIS CAR WITH MUCH
CARE AND LOVE AS DID THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO MADE ME PROMISE I WOULD TAKE GOOD
CARE OF IT. NO EXPENSE HAS BEEN SPARED TO KEEP THIS CAR IN VERY GOOD
MECHANICAL CONDITION! ALL MECHANICAL
MAINTENANCE IS UP-TO-DATE! THIS 450SL HAS BEEN
TREATED TO MANY UPDATES AND/OR NEW PARTS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. THIS

CARPET, NEW STEREO, AND NUMEROUS NEW MECHANICAL PARTS INCLUDING FUEL PUMP AND FILTER, NEW ALTERNATOR, NEW HIGHER VOLTAGE IGNITION COIL, NEW SHOCKS ALL AROUND, NEW SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES, NEW ROTOR AND DISTRIBUTOR CAP. ALL FLUIDS HAVE BEEN DRAINED, INCLUDING DIFFERENTIAL, TRANSMISSION, ENGINE, POWER STEERING, ANTIFREEZE AND BRAKE FLUIDS! THERE IS VERY LITTLE TO DO TO TURN THIS MACHINE INTO A COMPLETE RESTORATION. THE EXTERIOR LOOKS VERY
NICE WITH GLOSSY TAN PAINT, CHROME WHEELS, NICE CHROME TRIM, VERY GOOD BUMPERS,

THE POWER WINDOWS, POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, AUDIO SYSTEM, A/C BLOWER, A/C CONTROLS, POWER ANTENNA, AND DASH GAUGES ALL WORK GREAT! WHAT DOESN'T WORK IS: THE A/C ITSELF (BLOWS WARM AIR), CRUISE CONTROL, HAZARD LIGHTS, AND THE ANALOG CLOCK (WORKS SOMETIMES). TIRES WOULD NEED TO BE CHANGED IF TAKING LONG TRIPS. THE NY STATE INSPECTION
DOES NOT EXPIRE UNTIL MAY 2015. THE CAR WILL PASS STATE INSPECTION

STOPPED WORKING RECENTLY. I WILL REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE BEFORE DELIVERY. Please contact ROGER

Mon, 19 Aug 2013LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
Mercedes-Benz introduces new heavy security M-Class Guard model
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new addition to the company's line of personal security vehicles. The M-Class Guard features bullet-proof side windows made with special laminated glazing and a polycarbonate inner layer to protect occupants from shards of glass. Mercedes says the M-Class Guard meets protection level VR4 according to the Bullet Resistant Vehicles 2009 standards, based on testing from the independent Ulm-based Ballistics Bureau, which means it can withstand .357 Magnum and .44 fire from multiple angles. It can also stand up to the DM51 hand grenade when equipped with optional floor armoring. Why skimp?
Buyers looking for protection from the world's literal slings and arrows can opt for the ML350 BlueTEC with its 258 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. With 457 pound-feet of torque, the oil-burner should have no trouble hustling the privileged class about. Of course, the ML500 offers a bit more punch courtesy of a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Prices start at 105,050 euros for the diesel and 118,650 euros for the V8. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
2018 Lincoln Navigator vs luxury SUV rivals: How it compares on paper
Wed, Nov 8 2017The all-new 2018 Lincoln Navigator is an impressive, luxury-lined beast. However, while its Black Label interior stood out most during our first drive of the new Navigator, it also seemed pretty clear that much of this full-size SUV was superior to the competition in a number of fundamental ways. Its Raptor-sourced 3.5-liter V6 had class-leading power for one, and its third-row seat seemed as spacious and comfortable as its rivals' are cramped and barely usable. To search for your next new vehicle, try Autoblog' s Car Finder. Yet, I wanted to take a closer look at how the Navigator fully compares on paper to its competitors - especially the Cadillac Escalade with which it most directly competes. The below spreadsheet should tell the whole story, but as you can see, there's an awful lot of class-leading green highlighter in the Navigator's column. The cargo volume and third-row legroom numbers are particularly telling, with the latter actually going up to 42.3 inches when you slide the second-row fully forward. Now, a few things to note about the above spreadsheet. The GLS-Class is also available as the GLS 550, which boasts a 4.7-liter V8 that just comes up short to the Navigator with 449 horsepower but has to deal with only 5,578 pounds. Its $94,950 price tag is comparable to the Navigator Black Label. Much of the LX 570's information is also applicable to the Toyota Land Cruiser, which, badge aside, could certainly be considered a member of this segment given its feature content and still-hefty price tag. It has better ground clearance and approach/departure angles than its Lexus sibling, along with an as-indicated lower price. Much of the Escalade's information also applies to the GMC Yukon Denali, while the Infiniti QX80 is applicable to the Nissan Armada.
