1973 Mercedes 450 SLC, I was told this is rare being stonepine green metallic and the nutmeg color interior. I don't know, but I've never seen another. This color combo with the factory wire wheels makes this car really stand out from your standard silver or gold cars that everyone else has. This has been an Oregon car all its life, so it is mostly rust free, but has a few little spots. You can see the back of the trunk has some bubbles in the paint, I'm not sure why as the inside of the trunk shows no signs of rust at all. The only other spot is under the rear window rubber seal, I don't actually know that it is rusty, but it feels bumpy so I will assume it is, so you have no unknown surprises.
This car runs down the road as it should, it doesn't have tire smoking power from a stop but you could cruise down the highway at 100 all day long. It runs good, I drive it nearly every day. It has a few flaws that I will point out, so again you have no surprises.
The tach doesn't always work, if it works when you start the car it never stops working while driving. I never looked into what the problem may be.
The belt that runs the A/C is off the car, the compressor spins free, but it hasn't had a belt on it since I've owned it. I couldn't tell you why it's off or if the system works or not.
The front seats look like a big butt has smashed them down, they are still comfy to sit in and drive, but for me this was the biggest issue, I think they just look ugly and need redone.
The tires have lots of tread, but the tires are older? weatherchecked looking, fine for around town, but if you want to drive this car home across the country, it would be a safe bet to replace them first.
The paint on the roof and trunk is faded, I would call it hazey looking, it is a repaint from who knows how long ago, it is basecoat and clear on top. A pro might be able to bring it back to life. It still looks good going 100.
The pros with this car...
It's a Mercedes, it is safe, it is fast, and I'm going to sell it cheap!
I think it has some rare options, it has rear armrests, rear fold down center, spectacular color in and out, factory wire wheels!

2015 Bahrain F1 Grand Prix puts a dark horse in the desert [spoilers]
Mon, Apr 20 2015Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen had said after Malaysia that Ferrari can challenge Mercedes-AMG Petronas purely on pace, beyond the scope of tire wear, in the dry. We didn't see that in China, where Lewis Hamilton easily kept everyone behind and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel only got close to Mercedes' Nico Rosberg when Rosberg slowed down to conserve his tires. But the Iceman's words seemed prescient during qualifying for the Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix. At the front, nothing has changed so far this year: four races, four pole positions for Lewis Hamilton. Instead of teammate Rosberg next to him, though, he'll look over to see the scarlet Ferrari of Vettel, who took advantage of Rosberg's cautiousness to snatch second place on the grid. In Q2, Rosberg tried to conserve the tires he'd start the race on and said he couldn't get into a groove in Q3, putting in a time 0.147 seconds slower than Vettel. The second Silver Arrows will share his row with the second Ferrari, Raikkonen – yet again – saying he might have left some time on the table during his hot lap but getting around just one tenth off Rosberg's time. Williams is established as the best of the rest behind two teams this year instead of just one last year, Valtteri Bottas claiming fifth ahead of Felipe Massa. Daniel Ricciardo of Infiniti Red Bull Racing said he wants to fight with the Williams', he'll be helped with a good start off the line for the first time this year. Nico Hulkenberg got Force India into Q3 for the first time since the Italian Grand Prix last year and into eighth on the grid, ahead of Carlos Sainz in the Toro Rosso and Romain Grosjean putting in another excellent day's work for Lotus. Come race time, it turned into Mercedes power against Ferrari strategy. When Sky F1 commentator Martin Brundle talks about the Mercedes-AMG Petronas team he often mentions how their engine advantage leads to other advantages throughout the car. Not having to use aerodynamic changes to make up for power unit deficiencies, for instance, means they can run the aero setup they want, which optimizes speed and tire wear throughout a lap. It equates to advantage on top of advantage on top of advantage. That's where Lewis Hamilton is right now, so fundamentally dialed in to his car and his racing that he run the races he wants to run. From the front spot, the Brit ripped off another perfect start and led the field into Turn 1, relinquishing the lead only during pit stops.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
