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. I have had some problems lately with eBay sales where the winning bidder simply dissapears after winning the auction. The only thing I can ask is that you please bid only when you really wish to purchase. If you have questions or reservations please call or write to me so we can try to resolve them before bidding. Think about shipping and taxes that may be applicable in your state. I charge NO ADDITIONAL FEES, but it will cost you to register the car in your state. This is a NO RESERVE auction. The last bidder will own the car. So if you bid and nobody bids after you.. You win:) I have a really nice and well preserved 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL for sale. 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. 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. Again, there is NO RESERVE and I am opening the bidding up at a penny! I know the SL will sell 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. Someone is going to get a great car for a great price. Because of the trouble I have had with non payments I am ready to roll the dice and hope for the best with out a safty net. Please ebayers.. Don't let me down. I also have 100% positive feedback and I plan on keeping that. 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

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015
Fri, Feb 6 2015As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.

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.
