1980 Mercedes 450SL convertible. V8, Automatic project car. I am selling this for a friend who had to move out of state for work and did not have time to sell or a place to keep it. He bought car as it is now for a project with his son, but that did not happen. I am not a car expert, and not a Mercedes expert, so info I give will be as best I can describe it. You are welcome to have your expert look at car if you wish. Car seems to be complete. If you look through the photos you should see most of parts that have been removed. Body looks like it is in good condition, meaning it looks straight, hood, trunk, and doors seem to close good. I see no evidence of rust problems, but I have not had it on a lift or had it checked out. My understanding is this is an Arizona car, so usually rust is minimal. Car is a rolling chassis, drive train is out of car. Interior: Door panels look pretty fair, seats are in need of being redone, also carpet needs replacing. It looks like all the parts for instrument panel, switches etc are in boxes and all seem to be there including Speedo, Tach etc.. If it were mine I would redo interior. But it looks like all the original parts are there. Engine was out of car when he bought it. Old owner said motor was good, but then why was manifold and top end of motor off? The rest has not been taken apart it sits like it was bought. Same with automatic trans. Exhaust system is there, gas tank, radiator, drive shaft, Brake booster etc. Wheels look to be original, tires look ok, but I have no idea of age.Includes a container with a lot of bolts, washers, nuts, and screws. Car is in Mesa, Arizona and purchaser will have to pick up here. Car has not been registered since sold in 2007. Title has been signed and dated, but left open for new purchaser. Also have bill of sales both from original owner and individual my friend purchased from. Seller has right to remove car from auction prior to auction end.

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies
Fri, 13 Dec 2013It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.
New Mercedes Unimog debuts to the cheers of little boys everywhere [w/video]
Sat, 27 Apr 2013The Mercedes Unimog, the superhero villain of the off-road world that's just waiting to make the jump to Transformer, has been completely upgraded for its new generation. There are ten models, expanding the range and getting new designations across the traditional all-terrain series and the implement-carrier series. Panoramic cabins get more visibility, multifunction steering wheels and better dash clusters, improved HVAC and a three-mode central tire inflation system. Outside, there are new items like LED headlights and daytime running lamps in the bumper, roof-mounted windshield wipers and a front-camera monitor for the implement carrier.
The new engine lineup is compliant with Euro VI, featuring four- and six-cylinder BlueEfficiency engines putting out anywhere from 156 horsepower to 354 hp. Powerplant placement has also been tweaked, the chassis members getting a revised curve to place the engine a bit further back and lower, maintaining off-road clearance and lowering the Unimog's center of gravity. The new location of the engine means the cabin has more room, and the wheelbase is shorter. Combined with a higher turning angle, the Unimog has a smaller turning radius than before.
The implement carrier gets what's called a "synergistic traveling drive," the bonus being that drivers don't need to stop in order to use an attachment - a hydrostatic transmission works with the regular manual transmission at up to 31 kilometers per hour for seamless switching.
