1967 Mercedes Benz 250SL Beautiful Survivor/Driver Level I purchased this 250sl out of long term ownership. The previous owner had the SL in New Mexico before moving to Illinois. This SL was driven regularly by the previous owner and was lovingly cared for and maintained. When I drove it this past weekend, it literally stopped traffic. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of camera phone pics, waves, questions and attention this SL demanded. It's a testament to the presence of this 250sl! This SL is absolutely striking in it's original Color Combination of 568H Signal Red over Black MB Tex and Black Softtop The paint is approximately 10-15 years old. It was a high quality repaint that has withstood the test of time. It polishes nicely and looks amazing! Of course, upon close-up inspection there may be some minor imperfections; however, you can enter this 250sl into any local show without hesitation. I tried to take photos of any issues with the paint and undercarriage. You can see the undercarriage could use a few small patches. Overall, considering how nicely the paint presents after 10-15 years of service, it is apparent that this SL has been lovingly garaged and maintained. Spot welds present on passenger fender and both "weep" lines or notches present at the headlight bezels. The correct M129 Engine, appears to be a factory replacement block, starts right up, Transmission Shifts Smoothly, Drives Smooth and Straight. The muffler should be replaced. I would also suggest a tune-up and fluid/filter service. The Interior color combination is stunning! The Black MBTex is an elegant contrast to the Signal Red Body and Dashboard. The Dash Chrome and Interior Wood present well. And the original Becker radio works. The Interior is is serviceable as-is...my only recommendation, and a personal preference, would be to add a set of black/red CoCo mats to give the interior that finished look. Original Jack, Lug Wrench and 14" Spare Tire. All Rims are Factory Correct 14" Rims. Glass is all in great condition and the chrome and stainless trim present well! I drove this SL this past weekend for several hours without issue. Candidly, I have not even detailed this SL. It really presents well and, after a professional detail, should look stunning! **I reserve the right to end auction early.

Mercedes-Benz intros long-wheelbase E-Class for China
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Long-wheelbase sedans are a pretty hot commodity in China, and to keep up with the competition, Mercedes-Benz has introduced an extended version of the 2014 E-Class sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show. Audi, BMW, Volvo and even Cadillac offer extended versions of sedans specific to the Chinese market, and now the E-Class L, shown off in E400L guise, will give luxury sedan buyers in China yet another option.
Compared to the standard 2014 E-Class sedan, the new China-spec E-Class L has been stretched by 5.5 inches - all of which goes to the rear-seat passengers. According to an article on China View from earlier in the year, the market for chauffeur-driven cars is growing in the Asian nation, so automakers need long-wheelbase models like the E-Class L in order to fully compete. As for what powers this stretched E-Class, it's available in three models: the diesel E260L, the V6-powered E300L and the E400 Hybrid.
The redesigned E-Class and the all-new A-Class are just the first of 20 new Mercedes-Benz products that will be introduced into the Chinese auto market by 2015. Scroll down for the full press release on long-wheelbase E.
Maybach crossover looking more likely, Smart crossover possible
Fri, Apr 24 2015Mercedes-Benz executives are still making positive noises about the chances of a Mercedes-Maybach SUV. Following Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche's answer of "most likely" at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes Cars head of sales and marketing Ola Kallenius told Autocar that a Maybach SUV based on the next-generation GLS is "the more likely scenario." That's the same Kallenius that told Automotive News just last November that "we have no plans for it [a Maybach SUV]." It's a subtle shift, to be sure, but it's still a shift. The GLS – introduced as the latest-generation GL in 2013 – is still undergoing testing for its its mid-cycle refresh, so a Maybach version is a few years off. That would, coincidentally, give Mercedes time to see how the other super-luxe entrants are faring, and prepare its charge accordingly. Autocar expects that should it be built, it will come when the GLS shifts to the S-Class platform and most likely get the twin-turbo V12 from the Mercdes-Maybach S600 sedan, although the company's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 is possible if there are strong intentions for the Chinese market. Also on Stuttgart's agenda of dreams is a Smart crossover, according to the report. It could be Smart's best chance at profitably extending the range, based on the mania for tiny utes, and that would help both Daimler and the ForTwo's Renault Twingo sibling. It sounds like this is a ways off, though, due to coming up with an engineering solution for the Smart's engine packaging. Related Video:
Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer
Mon, 28 Jan 2013Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.
