Please read BEFORE bidding:
Due to 3, YES 3, "winning" bidders NOT paying for this car and 2 other cars I sold on here in the last month, I now REQUIRE a $500 non-refundable deposit via paypal immediately following the auction's end. I'm sorry about this, but I have had to re-list this car and 2 others, which not only costs MORE money, but WASTES more time. It's become a joke, but not in a funny way! If you don't understand that you are BUYING a car online, and this is not a "game" but rather an auction that you CHOSE to participate in, then PLEASE DO NOT BID!!! If you have less than 10 feedback, you MUST contact me prior to bidding or I will cancel your bid. I don't want any excuses about how you're "out of the Country on business" or "you are just so busy at work you can't get away to pick it up".... that's pure BS! If you win the car, you have committed to BUY IT. Understand??? Make sure your cash is liquid and available BEFORE bidding. If you win, you have 3 business days to pay me in full. NO exceptions. I prefer bank wire or verifiable cashiers check (car will not leave until check CLEARS bank which can take UP TO 21 days (cleared funds, not just showing "funds available" at my bank...that is a courtesy the FED requires banks to do within so many days of depositing a check, but that doesn't guarantee funds are good. Scammers know this...my father-in-law was scammed twice in a week but luckily didn't fall for it...nor will I), )...Again, wire is preferred. Of course if you pick the car up in person, cash is always accepted. You can arrange to have the car picked up at a later date, but it MUST be paid for by the Wednesday afternoon after the auction ends. PERIOD. If you cannot comply with what you have just read, then PLEASE do not bid. Thank You to those of you that do understand the "apparently difficult concept" of eBay...you bid...you win...you pay. It's a pretty simple concept, but 3 different people out of 4 auctions I had in the last month didn't understand that concept and have wasted my time, my money, and I'm over it. Now, lets get on to the fun stuff...my beautiful car: You're looking at my 1989 Mercedes Benz 560 SL, the flagship for Mercedes and a true icon of a car. This is the last year for the classic styling, and quite collectible. This car is still wearing it's original and rare black paint and it looks amazing to this day. The car has always been garaged and it shows both inside and out. The paint is super shiny and deep (see reflection photo...amazing for 24 year old paint!). Southern car...no rust. The car is built like a tank and the doors close with a solid heavy thunk. The exterior of the car looks great with only a few minor dings in a few spots (common on any car that's this old, and especially on a black car). They do not detract from the beauty of this class automobile though, and barely show up in the pics. Carfax shows a minor accident in 2002. I did not own the car back then. I cannot see any evidence of this, and the paintwork matches beautifully if indeed it was repaired. There is no evidence or overspray to suggest that the car was repainted, but I am not a professional. There is no rust and again, I'm assuming if there was an accident that it was minor. The black leather interior (not the cheaper MB Tex) is still in nice shape. The drivers seat has a little wear on the outer bolster from getting in and out, and a small cut on the seat bottom. Both easily repaired by any trim shop if they bother you, and at not a great cost. Carpets are in good condition. The wood trim as in most of these older SL's is cracking in a few places (center console, above glove box) but readily available and easy to replace. The dash pad itself looks amazing with no cracking at all...a rare sight. The black cloth soft top is in useable condition, but it is showing it's age and should be replaced down the road. It has some wear and tear, but again is still useable. Hardtop is nice with no major weird stains on the inner headliner. A hardtop stand on wheels is also included in the sale, used to safely store the hardtop when it's not on the vehicle. All mechanical systems are in fine working order. Engine runs well. Brakes and tires are good. A/C blows cold. Power windows and locks work as they should. Has it's original Becker stereo/cassette player and factory First Aid Kit in the trunk. The speedometer works fine but the odometer quite working a little while back. Not many miles have been put on the car since it broke, but it will be sold with an "exempt" title due to it's age. The car has always been maintained and garaged, and is in fine condition as you can see in the pictures. The car needs nothing but to be enjoyed by it's new owners. All books and both sets of keys come with the car. I am a private collector who has been asked by my wife to "thin the herd". I had 15 exotics and muscle/collector cars...am down to 11...and she wants me down to 6. So, this one must go to new home. I have it stored in my buddies garage because we just detailed it and I only have room to park it outside and exposed to the elements at my house (yet ANOTHER reason why my wife wants me to sell a lot of my cars)...I took these pics in his yard before we put it away in his garage. Free and clear title, in my name, in my possession. All sales are final, so ask any and all questions before bidding. Please make sure you have your finances ready before bidding, as full payment is required within 5 business days from the end of the auction. If you don't understand that, please do not bid. Make sure you have permission from your spouse, boss, priest, whomever BEFORE bidding. I do not have time for games and BS. This is a nice car that won't break the bank to own. I'm listing this with NO RESERVE...last bid wins! Bid high and bid often. Thanks for looking and good luck! |

2015 Italian Grand Prix is smoke, mirrors, stalls, and stewards
Mon, Sep 7 2015For the first day-and-a-half of the Italian Formula One Grand Prix weekend, everything went to blueprint: Mercedes in front, Ferrari lurking, everyone else scrambling in their usual orders behind. Then qualifying came, and someone stirred the pot. About the only thing we expected was for Lewis Hamilton to put his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole position, the 11th time he's done it this year. He did it with a brand-new specification engine, one that represents not only an evolution in components, but also in power unit philosophy. Kimi Raikkonen lines up in second. It's been a long time since we read those words; the Iceman hasn't been on the first row since the 2013 Chinese Grand Prix, when he put his Lotus second on the grid behind... Lewis Hamilton. Raikkonen lined up just ahead of a Ferrari at that China race, then driven by Fernando Alonso. In Italy this weekend, he lined up in front of the Ferrari driven by his teammate, Sebastian Vettel, who qualified third. Both Ferraris benefitted from an upgraded power unit, ending a front-row drought for the scuderia that goes all the way back to Monaco in 2009 Germany in 2012. Nico Rosberg has a lot of work to do from fourth in the second Mercedes-AMG Petronas. Mercedes discovered a problem with Rosberg's engine but couldn't figure out the cause, so he reverted to the previous-spec engine he used in Belgium, one that's six races old. The lack of power hurt. Williams teammates Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas took fifth and sixth, with Massa seemingly given a team-ordered helping hand. Williams told Bottas to tow Massa down the front straight, giving Massa a blistering time in the first sector. Then Bottas did it again, ensuring he would line up behind Massa. The first Sahara Force India of Sergio Perez nabbed seventh, three places ahead of teammate Nico Hulkenberg in tenth, with Romain Grosjean in the Lotus behind Perez in eighth. Marcus Ericsson in the Sauber qualified ninth, but some clumsy driving saw him impede Hulkenberg twice. The stewards penalized Ericsson with a three-place grid penalty and two points on his superlicense, so Hulkenberg inherited ninth and Pastor Maldonado in the second Lotus inherited tenth. We hardly saw Hamilton during the race, because he led from the start, worked up a larger gap to second place on every lap, and didn't give up the lead for the whole event.
The Scaldarsi Emperor I is a Mercedes-Maybach S600 taken to 11 on the bad-taste scale
Thu, Aug 18 2016The custom car world is filled with vehicles designed by people that don't know when to quit. The Scaldarsi Emperor I, shown here in all its awful rose-gold glory, appears to have been designed by an enthusiast of the KFC Double Down. It's a hideous creation and we can't let it pass without saying so. We also can't look away. Scaldarsi's so-called "artists" have thoroughly reworked what was a perfectly wonderful Mercedes-Maybach S600. In addition to the 24-karat rose gold accents, the company has crafted a new front fascia and modified the side and rear treatments. Inside, the general S600 shape remains, but new leather and wood cover nearly every surface. Your insane imagination will not be tamed, as there are 24 colors for the leather, 24 types of animal hides, 78 types of wood, and 16 exterior body colors available. The result, at least in the publicity shots, is a mix of awkward textures and seats that look like a pile of colorful marshmallows. Those interested in purchasing an Emperor I can option custom-engraved champagne glasses, matching tote bags, and even an Emperor Edition Rolex watch. If the standard key fob is too common for your taste, they'll make you one custom. Watch out for that Scaldarsi logo, though – it looks mean enough to rip through your pocket and take a chunk out of your leg. We will give Scaldarsi credit for wisely letting Brabus handle the power. The Emperor I uses the 6.3-liter twin-turbocharged V12 from the Brabus Rocket 900. This 888-horsepower monster is a tuned version of the V12 AMG uses in the S65, SL65, and G65. The Emperor I has an estimated 0-60 mph time of just 3.7 seconds, which is quick enough to leave stoplights before anyone recognizes you behind the wheel. Scaldarsi is asking a mere $1.5 million for each of 10 examples being created. If you miss out on the Emperor I or are some kind of twisted completist that needs one of each, this just the first in a series of customs the company will offer. Next up is the Emperor II (a Mercedes-AMG S65 Coupe), which will be followed by the Emperor III (Bentley Bentayga), Emperor IV (Mercedes-AMG G65), and Emperor V (Bugatti Chiron). Lord help us all.

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.
