YES I KNOW ITS NOT A 1980 BUT WHEN YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH STAYING INSIDE EBAYS LINES YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. THE CAR IS AN 83 HOWEVER THE VIN IS NOT IN EBAYS SYSTEM, I JUST LISTED AN 85 300SD AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE VIN IS IN CA DMV SYSTEM SO GOD KNOWS WHY EBAY IS A PROBLEM CHILD. HERE IS AN ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA 380SL WITH NO RUST AND IN VERY SOLID CONDITION. THE BODY IS UNDAMAGED EXCEPT FOR A SMALL DENT BELOW THE DRIVERS DOOR MIRROR EVERYTHING IS PRESENT EXCEPT THE HARD TOP BUT THE CONVERTIBLE IS THERE. THE INTERIOR LEATHER AND RUGS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION OVERALL THE CAR IS PRESENTABLE WE HAD THE ENGINE COMPLETELY REBUILT ABOUT A YEAR AGO WITH THE INTENTION OF USING THE CAR BUT OTHER ISSUES ARE RUNNING MY LIFE AT THE MOMENT. THIS CAR WILL NEED TO HAVE THE FUEL DISTRIBUTOR REPLACED AS THE CURRENT ONE LEAKS, OTHER THAN THAT THE MOTOR IS STRONG ALREADY REBUILT. THIS COULD BE AN EASY PROJECT FOR SOMEONE LOOKING INTO GETTING AN SL FOR NOT A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY. On Jun-13-14 at 11:16:49 PDT, seller added the following information: PHOTOS OF THE CAR ARE AS SHE SAT WHEN PUSHED OUT OF STORAGE COVERED IN DUST. WE WILL TRY TO RINSE HER OFF AND TAKE MORE PHOTOS SO THE FINISH OF THE PAINT SHOWS BETTER. THERE IS SOME CLEARCOAT PEELING ON THE RIGHT REAR AND ON THE DRIVERS DOOR BUT OTHERWISE ITS LARGELY ORIGINAL. On Jun-13-14 at 23:22:15 PDT, seller added the following information: IM ABOUT TO BUY ANOTHER FUEL DISTRIBUTOR AND HAVE IT INSTALLED, Pending this happening the car will be listed for sale locally, we reserve the right To sell it locally and end this auction early If you have any questions regarding the car feel free To email me through ebay and I will reply As is the car runs ad drives however the fuel distributor Either needs to be rebuilt or replaced as it Is not functioning correctly On Jun-14-14 at 16:10:15 PDT, seller added the following information: SOME MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE MERCEDES IT HAS 4 GOOD TIRES 3 OF THE BUNDT RIMS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION I USED THE CAR PRIOR TO HAVING THE ENGINE REBUILT AND SHE HAS GOOD ROAD MANNERS GOOD SHOCKS AND STEERS WITHOUT WANDERING. THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES AND IT RIDES NICELY. THIS WAS NOT SOME CAR I BOUGHT RANDOMLY AND DECIDED TO FIX, IT WAS MY CAR PRIOR TO HAVING THE ENGINE REBUILT. IF THE CAR DOES NOT BID ACCORDINGLY I AM GOING TO PUT IT BACK IN STORAGE. On Jun-17-14 at 16:24:48 PDT, seller added the following information: ***NEWSFLASH*** AFTER WATCHING SLOW BIDDING I DECIDED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER FUEL DISTRIBUTOR AND HAVE IT INSTALLED.

THE CAR IS GOING TO BE FOR SALE LOCALLY AND I WILL ACCEPT BEST AND FINAL OFFERS VIA EBAY STARTING NOW. |

Firing of M-B boss upheld
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
The first trailer for Top Gear's 24th season shows a hands-free drag race
Tue, Dec 27 2016In the excitement over Amazon's new motoring show, it's important to remember that there's a certain series from the BBC that's attempting to get its mojo back for a 24th season. Yes, we're talking about Top Gear. Since Chris Evans' departure earlier this year, Top Gear news has been relatively sparse, particularly as The Grand Tour and its hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond seized headlines. But on Christmas, watchers of the series' YouTube channel caught a glimpse of the first scene from the next season. Featuring hosts Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid in what looks like a trio of old, dilapidated cars. We're thinking TG is running a taxi comparison. There's a London black cab and a Mercedes-Benz W210 – a favorite of European cabbies – but we aren't sure where Harris' boxy wagon fits in. Did the Volvo 850 Estate ever serve as a livery vehicle? But it's the basis for this comparison that's weird, because the hosts appear to be having a no-hands drag race. The cars veer off in different directions, traveling across what looks like a snow-covered dirt lot. We're assuming hilarity ensues. And while we don't quite know what they're hoping to accomplish, we are looking forward to watching it go down. Top Gear's 24th season doesn't have an official air date, and the video ends only with a cryptic "Coming Soon." Expect to hear more in the next few months.
Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
