Up for auction is my 1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SL roadster. It has only 36,500 documented miles. It was purchased new from Mercedes-Benz of Hollywood, CA on Dec. 31, 1971 and has spent its entire life in Calif. I am the second owner. This is an original, non-restored, all numbers matching 350SL with all the number plates intact. I have all the service records as well as the original window sticker. It has always been professionally maintained. This is a true '72 350SL as can be verified by the VIN#. It has the powerful 4.5 litre fuel injected, smog exempt V8 engine coupled with a 3 speed automatic transmission. This is truly a collector model with the small chrome bumpers and matching color keyed hubcaps that were only used on the '72 & '73 models. It has power steering, power brakes, power locks and rare factory a/c, which blows ice cold & was optional in 1972. The car has a rare factory color scheme. The body is silver (code #180) and the top is black (code #040) which makes the car unique and quite collectable. The car has had one high quality re-spray. The paint is superb with no fading, sun damage or clear coat breakdown. It has absolutely no rust or accident damage. The body panels are all in perfect, original shape. All the inner areas, including the door, trunk and hood jambs are in excellent condition. The original factory black MB text interior is immaculate. There are no rips, tears or wear marks. The dash has no cracks or fading and the visors are flat. The glove box still has the original M-B removable flashlight. The clock works and keeps perfect time. The original carpets are in very good condition. The black canvas soft top is still like new. The chrome and aluminum trim are also in excellent condition. The trunk is like new with the original rubber mat. It has the original jack & tool kit. The original Becker radio has been replaced with a Kenwood am/fm/cd radio. (the original Becker will come with the car). All the speakers were replaced. The engine compartment is extremely clean as well as the under-carriage. There is no grease or road grime. Mechanically the car is in like new condition. Everything works as it should. It has been meticulously maintained. If you have any questions about the mechanics, feel free to contact me and I will go over the servicing history, which is extensive. It runs strong and shifts like a new car. It drives straight & tight with no shimmies or vibrations. I will include with the sale a complete set of factory service manuals, car & cockpit covers and hardtop cart. I have all the service records and invoices for work performed. If you would like additional, detailed pictures, let me know. This is truly an excellent example of a very low mileage, well maintained 350SL. It can be driven or shown with confidence. I would encourage any serious buyers to have it inspected. You will not be disappointed. Any questions contact me at 530-621-4566.

2021 Mercedes-Maybach S 580 revealed as the biggest, most luxurious S-Class
Thu, Nov 19 2020The Mercedes-Maybach GLS-Class made a splash recently as the company's ultra-luxury crossover. But if you're a well-heeled individual looking for the true peak of Mercedes luxury, there's no replacement for the 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S 580, the biggest, fanciest sedan the company can produce. You'll be able to identify the land yacht thanks to a number of styling tweaks. The grille gets slender vertical chrome bars, and the lower intakes feature a chrome mesh. Topping the grille is a Mercedes hood ornament. The hood is restyled, too, with a center ridge running front to back with a line of chrome trim. Besides these styling tweaks, the Mercedes-Maybach has had its wheelbase stretched a full seven inches, with the space going to rear passenger room. The stretch also included rear quarter windows. Just behind those windows are illuminated Mercedes-Maybach badges. The car can also be optioned with an array of exclusive wheels and two-tone paint. The two-tone paint jobs can take up to a week to complete. Of course, the interior is what really sets the Mercedes-Maybach apart from the "average" S-Class. All examples come standard with Mercedes Designo leather upholstery, and even the headliner is finished in leather. Like other S-Class models, there is an air freshener function, and Mercedes has saved a special scent specific to the Maybach. The front seat backs are covered in wood trim to enhance the design. Rear occupants get individual 11.6-inch screens for entertainment, as well as a removable tablet for controlling various car functions. Passengers get to enjoy a 1,750-watt, 30-speaker Burmester sound system, which won't be interrupted by outside noises thanks to additional sound deadening materials around the rear arches, thicker laminated quarter windows and active noise cancelling. Foam-filled tires and laminated glass around the rest of the car are options. Speaking of options, there aren't many, but they're also quite lavish. The one we expect to be quite popular is the executive rear seating. It replaces the rear bench with two reclining chairs complete with power leg rests. These leg rests even feature massage functions, a first for the S-Class. The seats come with climate adjustments and several massage settings. The option also adds seatbelt airbags and frontal airbags for the rear passengers. Other interior options include a refrigerator, champagne flutes and electrically assisted rear doors for easier entry and exit.
Mercedes making aggressive plans for Chinese market
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Mercedes-Benz is preparing a major product offensive to counteract lagging sales in the Chinese market, aiming 20 new or updated models at the People's Republic in the next two years, according to a report by Reuters. The plan is part of MB's so-called 2020 Initiative, which will see the Stuttgart-based manufacturer dump 2 billion Euros ($2.67 billion) into its Chinese market vehicles in a bid to boost sales to 300,000 units by 2015.
Were it to succeed, China would become the largest market for the Silver Arrow, outpacing Germany and the United States. Leading the charge will be the redesigned E-Class, which is set to launch in China this week. That will quickly be followed by the S-Class, and eventually by the GLA-Class in 2014.
Mercedes has struggled in China, especially relative to its German competition, BMW and Audi. Where Mercedes saw a mere four-percent increase in 2012 sales to 206,150 units, Audi was up a staggering 32 percent, while BMW's numbers jumped 41 percent. While some voices, according to Reuters, accuse Munich and Ingolstadt of boosting their numbers through hefty incentives, the fact remains that Mercedes was just walloped by its competitors last year.
Detroit Auto Show prankster 'damages' hundreds of thousands of dollars of cars
Thu, Jan 29 2015Obtaining credentials for an auto show is generally a pretty selective process, especially at one of the world's premier shows, like Geneva, Los Angeles or Detroit. That didn't stop online prankster Dennis Roady from getting credentialed for the 2015 North American International Auto Show on behalf of a Russian YouTube channel to cover the show. While he wasn't brought on strictly to cause mischief, Roady couldn't help but have some fun at the expense of the product specialists during the serious business of covering the show. He took to an app called "Dude, Your Car," which allows Apple iPhone users to take snaps of vehicles and then edit them to add some serious, but fake, dents and scratches. Naturally, the pranking session was caught on video, where you can enjoy the sight of poor product specialists freaking out over damage to vehicles ranging from the Mercedes-Maybach S600 to the Audi R8 and a lovely Dodge Challenger. Take a look. News Source: howtoPRANKitup via YouTube, The Detroit News Humor Detroit Auto Show Audi Dodge Mercedes-Benz Coupe Luxury Performance Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show prank
