1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL Fire Engine Red on Black Leather Call Justin with Questions 503-969-5127 Hello all, and welcome to my auction. Today I have a really nice and well preserved 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL. This is the convertible model and comes with both the hard and soft tops. This is a really striking color combination for Mercedes. The red is very vibrant and looks fantastic against the black of the leather interior. The paint is good with very few chips or marks. It is a re-spray but I would consider it to be above average work. There are no waves or areas of filler that I can detect. The chrome bumpers are straight as is the chrome on the other areas of the Mercedes. The windshield is in good condition with no pitting or cracking. The soft-top is in good condition too. I doubt it was ever used much. It took two of us to stretch in into place after being folded in the boot for who knows how long. The plastic rear windows are still soft and pliable with no hazy or milky discoloration and the canvas fabric show very little wear. The edges of the top were still rolled up a bit for the photos, but I am confident they will relax with an afternoon in the sun. The factory alloys are nice and the tires are above 80% tread. This Mercedes is a US Spec vehicle but the lights were upgraded to the European Style headlight lenses. I really like the look and think it really sets this car apart from the pack. The interior is very nice and clean too. The seats are soft and the leather is issue free. The actually look new to me. My guess is they were re-upholstered in the last few years. They are very close to mint condition. The carpet, while original is very nice too. No matting or wearing or problems whatsoever. The dash is nice too. It has a cloth cover over it for protection. Other than the Velcro tabs used to hold the cover in place, it is clean and crack free. All of the gages work properly as do the lights and blinkers and wipers. I take that back.. I did notice that the light inside the glovebox was kinda hanging there and may need to be fiddled with.. Other than that though it’s all good electrically. The A/C is not blowing cold for one reason or another.. All of the equipment is there and the belt too so hopefully it’s not too sinister. The Mercedes runs and drives great. It starts up easily with no hesitation and does not smoke at all. It does not drip or leak oil either. On inspection of the underside I did notice that the transmission pan was moist but not dripping. It may be in need of a gasket. The rear end "pumpkin" has lots of grease and old grime on it too but is not dripping either. The engine has excellent power and the transmission shits properly between all of the gears. The SL drives straight down the road with no pulling or wandering. The wheels don’t vibrate at speed and there is no play in the wheel. The brakes stop straight and true and the pedal is solid underfoot. This is a really nice Mercedes considering its age. It is almost 35 years old! It’s nice, but it’s not perfect. I can describe it to the finest detail if you want to call me.. I just can’t write it all in an ad. Please ask questions if you have them I don’t want there to be any differences between the car and your expectations. I looked hard and could not find any rust anywhere. The floors are solid and original. This Mercedes-Benz has all of the vintage appeal and legendary reliability that collectors want and it is not going to break anybody’s pocketbook either. I am setting the reserve very low and I know the SL will sell the first go around as long as we all play by these rules. #1. Only bid if you have intentions to buy. #2. Ask any and all questions before bidding. #3. Please contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback. #4. This is an AS-IS sale. I have done my best to describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees except a clean and clear legal title after payment. #5. I will not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the Mercedes. Pay-Pal for deposit only, the balance must be paid by certified check or wire. Legitimate and legal buyers only please. Just be real and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or her purchase. I have 100% positive feedback and I plan on keeping that. Also, I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the last second and worry about missing out. Just call me and we will work out a fair price.. I’m Justin my Phone number is 503-969-5127

New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe spied in revealing state of dress
Tue, 19 Feb 2013During a product briefing earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz told us that 2013 would be the "year of the S-Class." Makes sense, too, since the flagship Mercedes is so very close to finally showing its production-ready face. But the high-tech saloon isn't the only S-Class to talk about this year - quite the contrary. Seen here in decidedly revealing camouflage, the new S-Class Coupe will be joining its four-door compadre in the not-too-distant future, as well.
When it launches, the S-Class Coupe will officially do away with the CL-Class nomenclature. This doesn't come as a huge shock. After all, when the new E-Class coupe and convertible were launched, it officially marked the end of the long-running CLK-Class designation.
Thanks to the interesting camouflage seen here, we have a very good glimpse at how the S-Class Coupe will look when all of the molding and swirly paper are peeled off. Rakish body lines pulled from the CLS-Class meet a much more dynamic front fascia. Out back, there are horizontal taillamps rather than the vertical units used on the current car, and the whole package seems very svelte. Our spy photographer even posits that this will be "the best-looking car from Mercedes-Benz in ages."
Russia gives its Olympic medalists new Mercedes
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Russian medalists at the recently concluded Sochi Winter Olympics are being rewarded quite handsomely for their service to the Motherland. In addition to the $120,000 being handed out for each gold medal, the $76,000 being awarded for slivers and $52,000 given to bronze winners, now word has come out that each of Russia's medalists will be gifted a new Mercedes-Benz.
As with the prize amounts, the type of Mercedes offered was based on what sort of medal was won. Gold medalists got a new GL-Class, silver medalists were given an ML and bronze medalists were treated to a GLK. As prices for Mercedes are higher in Russia, the cheapest model, the GLK, was the equivalent of $59,500, according to The Moscow Times. The cars were handed out by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, pictured above with figure skating medalist Julia Lipnitskaia.
"I was a bit shocked at the car I was given," Anton Shipulin, a member of the gold-medal biathlon relay team, told RIA-Novosti. "Of course I knew what kind of model it would be, but I didn't totally believe it." For athletes not old enough to drive, like 15-year-old Lipnitskaia, their Mercedes will come complete with a driver.
Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG coming to the New York Auto Show
Tue, 05 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz showed off the CLA45 AMG at a private event on the eve of the Geneva Motor Show, but was determined not to let it be photographed. We can talk about it, though - after all, a teaser image was released to promote the new Sony game Drive Club. The CLA45 AMG will use the same powertrain as the A45 AMG, which means a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. And that means a small four-door coupe sedan with the highest horsepower-per-liter in the segment. It will shift through the same seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, should also run out of speed at 155 miles per hour and have that three-stage stability control system.
As with its hatch sibling, the CLA is already so aggressive on the outside - and the parent company so anxious not to demolish the sedan's 0.22 coefficient of drag - that not much has been done to the cranked-up CLA. Even the rather thin tires on the standard only get a little less thin on the hotter variant. Inside will be the telltale AMG signs, with lots of red detailing and that flat-bottomed wheel among the giveaways. We'll know more later this month when the wraps come off at the New York International Auto Show.
