Pristinely Restorable 1971 Mercedes 280sl on 2040-cars
Winter Park, Florida, United States
|
This car was owned by the former General Sales Manager of a large Mercedes dealership in Jacksonville for 20 years, and as a result this car comes with factory parts and service manuals, as well as most of the invoices for work and parts that have been replaced. This car has a Good, Clear, Florida Title (Not Salvage/Rebuilt) and this title is with the car. This car is being sold for personal reasons, not particularly financial ones. This car was disassembled by the owner, and parts were labeled and placed into Zip-Lock bags as they were removed. This is a 1971 280SL, which is one of the rarest 280SLs ever produced. Only an estimated 420 1971 280SLs were ever sold in the US, and 1971 was the last year they were made. This car should be considered to be the closest to having the least rust of any 280SL that is available for restoration. The pictures should be clear enough to see clear examples of where this car needs bodywork, this is the reason why I have donated my time in the direction of chemically removing most of the paint to display the well preserved metal underneath. This car is very close to being placed upon a rotisserie, media blasted, and then painted in zinc chromate primer. The car has such low rust that it will probably be able to pass the small screwdriver test, where the tip of the screwdriver should not perforate any floor panel or body part. As evidenced by the extremely good condition of the original transmission (in the pictures) this car has been very well preserved. This car comes with every part that is in the pictures. The owner purchased all of the OEM parts while he was at the Mercedes Dealership as the General Sales Manager. A very large number of parts were bought for this car, including brand new bumpers, and nearly every piece of rubber. The engine and the transmission ran fine before the car was disassembled, and much care was taken to label the zip lock bags with parts inside of them. If you would like more details about the parts that are included, or would like close up shots of the part numbers, please contact us. The factory metal plates are intact and original, under the hood and the left door jam. The soft top frame is included with the car, and is located underneath the hard top. The color code for this car is 906 Silver Blue Metallic. There is no stamped metal number in the hood, but all of the gaps on the car generally look good. The $550 Mercedes-Benz matching toolkit and bag for this car is included. The engine number is 130983 12 013109, and the car and engine both have less than 95,000 miles, and a professional Mercedes Engine Re-manufacturer has inspected the engine, and has confirmed that the engine turns over freely, and the rack on the injection pump moves freely. At 90,000 miles the engine head was professionally re-manufactured at the Jacksonville dealership using only quality Mercedes-Benz parts. This car does not have carpets, an exhaust system, a fuel tank, or a front windshield. My suggestion on where to find the replacement parts are From Mercedes Benz, new: Fuel tank 113 470 0701 $1,100 list F windshield 113 671 0410 $755 list Mike at Time Valve 321 254-7200 stainless exhaust ~$900 or so Cindy at GAHH 800 722-2292 for carpet kit This car is being sold "AS IS", and a reasonable amount of effort has been committed to ensure that this is an accurate description of this 280SL in pictures and in text.

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.
Experience the New York Auto Show by drone
Fri, Apr 10 2015The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

Mercedes caught testing stretched E-Class Maybach
Fri, Aug 21 2015The Mercedes-Maybach S600 won't be the only vehicle to wear the hyphenated name of two of the world's automotive luxury greats. That hulking S-Class will soon be joined by an E-Class variant, which should offer the same touch of subtle luxury as its big brother. At least, that's what we're guessing based on the latest round of spy photos, showing a stretched E-Class with some very telling camouflage. Pay attention, as our spies did, to the rear doors and C-pillar. Like the Maybach S600, the E-Class model features a larger quarter window, although unlike the S, the doors here look to be a bit larger than your usual E550 or E250. Also take note of the heavy tint on those rear windows. It's likely there to obscure whatever sumptuous hides and warm woods Maybach has fitted to the typically business-class interior. While the interior materials are likely to see sweeping changes, expect Mercedes to treat the exterior with a much gentler touch. There'll probably be some unique wheels and C-pillar-mounted Maybach badges, like what we've already seen on the S600. Check out the full round of spy photos up top, and stay tuned for more on the latest Mercedes-Maybach. Related Video:
