This one is for sale at Silver Star Restorations and it’s probably one of the most beautiful 300SE from the sixties I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Being in pure mint condition, its $58,000 price tag is probably very much justified — from the SSR page:

Finished in white with a stunning red leather interior which has the very, very rare front and rear bucket seat option. The wood dash is in great shape, it has power steering and a 4 speed automatic transmission. Like all 300 series cars from the 60’s, it has the Bosch air suspension which gives this great automobile superior road holding capabilities. Powered with a 3 liter engine, this car will cruise today’s highway speeds with no trouble.

If only I had the dough…

AMG’s have been hot ever since they came up, and if you’re looking for Mercedes-Benz brutality this 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is a perfect choice.

• 450+ Horsepower
• 6.2liter V8 engine
•  Up to 7,200RPM
• Top 443 pound-feet torque

BOOYAKASHA!

I realize this is Mercedes-Benz trying to take a bite from Volvo’s “safety”-market segment, and I actually like the idea behind the video they put together — but it kind of cheesy, isn’t it?

This is by far the most classic Mercedes-Benz ever to have hit the streets. I haven’t spoken to a single car enthusiast that’s not 100% in love with this car — and rightfully so! It’s ingenious fuel injection system, its trademark doors, its Le Mans win… They all make this car a true classic in automotive history.

I went and made a selection of the 10 most beautiful photos I could find of this beauty. Enjoy them!

This video report from the 2008 Geneva Motor Show about the 2009 Mercedes SL (a facelift version, which doesn’t change too much to the previous model if you ask me) shows a little too much of the show host and way too little of the SL, but still, what they show looks good.

The SL isn’t as glamorous as its original 1954 grandfather — but still quite awesome!

I just had to started this blog off with what I am proud to call my own personal favorite Mercedes, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. It’s a pure beast, and it’s loved by rich people all over the globe (that includes Phil Ivey, by the way). I’m going to skip the talk, and go straight for the yummy pics. Enjoy them, I promise loads more on MercedesTalk.net!
