You are looking at a very RARE 1984 EURO Benz 500SL, 2 door, 2 tops Convertible with 5.0L, V8, bullet proof, engine with automatic transmission.
A true 2 + 2 car, since it has the Kinder back seat. It is a true Euro model that was brought from Germany and was truly made for the autobahn, very fast and furious! Even my title says that it was first registered in a foreign country.
It has Euro headlights and Euro bumpers as well as a factory back Kinder seat with seat belts, very rare and expensive. It is most sought out and hard to find a true Euro car.
EBay system does not recognize Euro VIN #’s, here is the vin # for the car WDB1070461A001993. It was first imported by the original owner and stayed in Fl. Until I bought it from him when he brought it back to WI.
We used it a little during the summer and did not drive it anymore. Space is needed, hence the sale, otherwise, I would keep and restore.
Very expensive car and was sold for well $55k back in 84. NADA puts its value today between $19k&$40k and keeps going up in value every year. Very original and has low original miles, only 154k/miles. Very good engine with many new parts through the years. It is a complete pleasure to drive and most fun. Very sleek and beautiful and it demands attention anywhere it goes.

It comes fully loaded with Power Locks, Power Windows, Power Mirror,Antenna, Cruise Control, AC, Heated Seats for passenger and driver, Factory Back Seat with Seat Belts, Euro Adjustable Headlights with Wipers, Euro Bumpers, ABS, Leather Interior and much more.
All interior and exterior lights work as well,turn signals and wipers and pump. All gauges on the instrument cluster work. All options work on the car very well, even the clock and the horn work, Everything works on the car, though blower is not working when I tried it and that could be a fuse or a connection issue.
It is a drive and go car and last summer was driven from Fl. To Milwaukee, WI. And performed flawlessly, you can drive it anywhere you want!

Exterior is very nice, not perfect, as you can see from photos, the original paint still has a nice shine to it, trunk is dull and I am sure that it can be buffed out. In addition, some rust on top of the front fenders above the head lights, as can be seen in photos, and that can be easily repaired. Also, some rust by the trunk area that can also be repaired as well as couple of bubbles here and there. It has a black soft top that would need to be replaced, antenna broke of, but I do have the mast. Couple of spots where clear coat peeled as well as a loose cruise control handle and the visor for passenger side is missing. I do have, but have to find it!

In my opinion, nothing major and with little effort, you can have an excellent car. All chrome, glass, and molding are excellent. Tires are brand new as well as fuel system maintenance. Trunk is very clean and solid and it has a factory full size spare with tools and jack. Also, I have all original books and manuals that came with it from Germany.

Car runs, drives, shifts and handles well and can really hug the road. It has excellent pressure and idles very nice. It drives and shifts effortlessly. It is all ready to go on a moment’s notice. It does not miss a beat, very fast and a true performer indeed.

Interior is very nice overall. Dash is excellent but has minor crack, door panels, wood, chrome, carpeting Are excellent. Seats are very sturdy and comfortable.
By all means, the car is neither perfect nor is a garage queen and I am not saying that the car is a show car, for it is not. As mentioned above, car will need some work to make it perfect and again, had I have the time, I would do it because, it is well worth it.

It sold for well over $55k in 84, NADA value today is at $40k, so what you have is a very nice car selling at NO RESERVE and all this car will do is keep going up in value with time.

The Mansory Speranza proves that money can buy taste and good sense...

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

...Just kidding.
No one in their right mind has ever accused German tuners Mansory of being subtle. So, when our Geneva team wandered across the Mansory Speranza - A Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen that has been denuded of its roof and spackled inside with quilted leather and red carbon fiber - they didn't ask a lot of existential questions. Why does the Speranza exist? Because Germans are weird sometimes, that's why.
Forget for a moment that you'll have to pay Mansory hundreds of thousands of euros (we're guessing, no pricing information has been revealed) for the privilege of converting your G-Class into something that looks like a Suzuki Samurai, and prepare to be impressed by the details. The tuning house has increased the output of the Mercedes V8 to a healthy 700 horsepower and 668 pound-feet of torque. The wheels are 24-inches, and wear almost unbelievable 305-section ultra-high performance Vresdestein tires. Carbon fiber can be found nearly everywhere one looks, including making up the housing for the spare tire. Oh, and there are leather pillows for the backseats... no word on whether they're standard or optional, but we're looking in to it.

My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry

Wed, Dec 1 2021

The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS Â— which is quite attractive Â— LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer.Â The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).
