This has been a very good and reliable car for us. We just finally bought a new car so this is now available. We live in a suburb of San Diego, in No. County, close to the beginning of entering the city. Our adult son previously owned this; we've had it for over 8 years, I believe. It has never been in an accident and no cigarette smokers have ever smoked in this car! I drive it probably 200 miles a month - I'm getting up there in age, I guess. Has two tiny dings: one on rear side door on driver's side and another on same side over wheel well (both pictured). Only other finish complaint is a small crease (6" long?) below driver's door, pictured but hard to notice. Otherwise, paint is virtually perfect - no peeling, fading, etc. Still very glossy. Tires are xln't (Michelin) and have a loooooong time to go yet. A/C compressor and serpentine belt was replaced in Nov., 2013 - almost $1,000 - so it's also xln't & freezing cold when needed and the fuel pump was replaced two months ago ($450). Interior is also superior as pics indicate. Some cracking of the leather on driver's seat but only on the leading edge of the seat in the area closest to the door, otherwise all terrific condition. I'm a very honest person (probably too much so) so I'm listing ANYTHING I can think of that you would want to know about this car that is less than perfect: there is some moisture behind plastic lens on headlight on passenger side; there is a small drip of oil underneath vehicle that we've had for 2 years but it's so slow that it doesn't "pay" to have the seal (I guess) replaced. My husband never has to fill the oil tank because of it. The light for the radiator water sensor comes on most of the time. It is due to the sensor not working right. Whenever we lift the hood and slightly "adjust/move" the large, white plastic container that holds the water overflow for the radiator, then the light goes off but as soon as the car goes over a bump, it returns and comes back on. It's done it for 10 years. Not worth fixing. Although I never have to change the driver's seat position, the power seat doesn't always want to move forward or back unless you press your foot down hard on the foot rest area. The rear seat-backs fold down - either for raising up a child seat (I'm presuming) but certainly to carry something long in the trunk and protrude through the opening into the rear cabin ... skis? wood? supplies? In the center console that has a pop-up and padded armrest, you will find the 6-disc CD player - I've never used it but my son said it always worked great. What I really love about this car is that it's fun to drive - you really get a "feel" for the road, like a sports car, and it has a LOT of zip. If you suddenly need to step on the accelerator, you know it will respond with a lot of guts - that gives me a lot of security. The registration is paid until mid-July. Car has ALWAYS passed smog test; buyer will pay for any new smog certificate.

If you have ANY questions about this car, please call and ask questions, AFTER 10:30 a.m. PST, at: 760-758-9222. You are certainly welcome to email any of your questions, also. If you want additional photos, just ask. You are welcome to make an appointment with me to test-drive and inspect this car prior to bidding - however, once the auction is over, the sale is FINAL. This car is running beautifully - I have NO complaints whatsoever. I've tried my best to describe it as honestly as possible but common sense dictates that it is sold in an "as is" condition as I have no control over what you might do to the car once you have possession of it.

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion

Wed, Jun 17 2015

While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
