560sl 1987 Convertible With Hard Top on 2040-cars
Staten Island, New York, United States
|
A CLASSIC BEAUTY....... Great Beautiful Super Clean Condition. Runs great , STRONG, and reliable.... ALL ORIGINAL. Paint is original and well maintained, MINT SHINE..... Only 89K miles. These cars can hit 300k easy. BEAUTIFUL through and through ...NO RUST. The pictures serves no justice. Better in person. If you want more pics I can send them. ALL TUNED UP Recently upgraded Nardi Steering wheel and sports 5 star " AMG look like Rims". see last 3 picture of Rim. This is what is presently on the car. LOOKS AEWSOME. Rims shown in pictures are the original set and are in great mint condition. Have all original parts. You will get both sets of RIMS. Both sets of Rims are in MINT condition. Past summer replaced timing chain, tension control, guide rails, rocker arms, Engine plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, transmission tune up. All fluids...Nardi Steering wheel, Sports "AMG like " rims , wood trim....Spent over $4,000.00 . Tires are in great shape. Still have lots of rubber on them (only about 2k miles on them) Leather seats are in great shape. Hard top is like new and the only issue with the hard top is the trim on the driver's side is slightly bent. The trim I'm referring to is the "J" shape trim that sits on the car when on (just under the side window). It is really not noticeable, but i had to point it out. I can take a picture to show you. PIECE OF MIND NOTE: The Timing Chain and Guide Rails and rocker arms are done. This alone was $2,800.00 and I got a good deal. This type of maintence can run upto $4,000.00. I was fortunate to have a friend who is a MB mechanic. This is one maintenance you need to perform on any 560sl even with only 10,000 miles on it. WHY? "because of age". The guide rails are made of hard plastic and it is vulnerable to brake with age alone. And a broken guide rail while in motion can be devastating to the engine. This is one area you have a piece of mind with if purchasing this car . Something to think about....... Educate yourself when purchasing any classic car with the mechanics. Every pedigree has something you need to watch out for and the TIMING CHAIN and GUIDE RAILS is a must maintence on the R107 models. However, the 560sl is the best of of all r107 models because it has a double chain and higher horse power. This is a Great running car and reliable. No need to do a thing for years.. ..... Only "minor issue" noted in car fax is accident in rear bumper in 1991 with prior owner. No body damage or frame. Rear bumper was replaced only. Note: There is presently no air bag. I had to disconnect the air bag inorder to install the Nardi Steering wheel but the original can easily be reinstalled. You will also get the original Steering wheel with airbag and shifter. Nardi wood grain steering wheels have a clasic beautiful look so there is no air bag in the steering wheel. The nardi steering wheel is made from African Mahogany. Steering Wheel alone was $700.00. You will not be disappointed. Always Garaged Kept and under the covers. Location of car is in Staten Island NY. Ask for Sal - 917-679-6986 |

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept gets mobbed in China
Sat, 20 Apr 2013If the reception it received at the Shanghai Motor Show is any judge of marketplace acceptance, Mercedes-Benz has a hit on its hands in the form of the GLA Concept. And we can understand why - we're quickly becoming fans of Mercedes' recent styling language, as defined by new models like the CLA and this GLA Concept.
The big news on the exterior front are the headlamp clusters, which have frickin' laser beams attached to their foreheads embedded inside that are capable of projecting videos and images on a screen. Plus, a pair of video cameras are mounted on the roof that can be used to capture driving excitement or removed and taken with you. How cool is that? We just hope they have a substantial locking mechanism to prevent would-be thievery...
If the exterior is mostly ready for production, with a few of the more outlandish elements moved to the trash bin - like, for instance, laser-beam headlamps and removable action cams - the interior is a true custom job that screams concept loud and clear. There are all kinds of jewel-like finishes inside, along with transparent surfaces showing what looks like metal latticework underneath and some awfully thick looking leather with massive exterior stitching done by hand similar to what you'd find on a baseball glove.
Mercedes mulling Renault-based entry-level X-Class?
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Somewhere in between the Smart brand and the all-new A-Class (pictured above), Daimler is said to be readying a smaller entry-level product for the Mercedes-Benz brand to compete with models like the Audi A1. According to AutoBild, Mercedes-Benz will get a new hatchback based on a platform from its recent partnership with Renault-Nissan, and it could be called the X-Class.
Expected to debut by 2018, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class could be offered in sedan, hatchback and crossover variants, and it would likely have a starting price below the $20,000-euro mark. Power would come from either a 1.0-liter inline three-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter inline-four, and the car would likely be built in a low-cost nation in order to make the financials work. Wearing the Mercedes-Benz name, the X-Class would have to exhibit more distinguishable luxury and styling to set itself apart from the models that helped provide its underpinnings.
If you're a Daimler exec, you'll soon have to drive an EV
Sat, Feb 20 2016Luckily, for Daimler's "senior level" managers, the company has a lot of plug-in vehicle options. Lucky because "in the future," these managers will have to drive the company's electrified vehicles. This most likely means a plug-in hybrid – something like the C 350 e or the GLE 500 e 4MATIC – but it could also be the all-electric and peppy Smart ED or the B-Class EV. Board member Ola Kallenius said in a statement (available below) that this new policy, "We are continuing on the path of zero-emission driving with consistency. This is why we are making electric mobility an integral part of the everyday lives of our top management to set an example and to provide a clear role model." It's a big change from five years ago, when Daimler's director of fuel cell and battery drive development, Christian Mohrdieck, was willing to talk up the drawbacks EVs face. Even a year ago, Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche explained the financial hardships involved in making EVs. But, EV technology continues to change, and so, perhaps, do the attitudes inside Daimler. As EV advocate Chelsea Sexton said on Facebook regarding this new policy, "This should be standard procedure in any automaker seeking a leadership role in the plug-in vehicle movement. Commitment starts at the top."

Furthermore, Daimler is this year set to invest a further 30 million euros into extending the company's own charging infrastructure across many of its sites. This will also benefit employees, who have access to a growing range of vehicles with alternative drive systems. Stuttgart. It represents a further commitment from Daimler to an electric future for mobility: "We are continuing on the path of zero-emission driving with consistency", states Ola Kallenius, member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG responsible for Mercedes-Benz Cars Sales and Marketing, about the importance of the current initiative. "This is why we are making electric mobility an integral part of the everyday lives of our top management to set an example and to provide a clear role model." The agreement applies to the company's senior levels of management and focuses on plug-in hybrids.
