The 6.3/63 name is a homage to the 300SEL 6.3, Mercedes' super saloon of the sixties.

Those wheels aren't actually quite period correct, though they don't look too out of place on this car. Those are Ronal/AMG Pentas, or at least replicas, which were from AMGs of the 70s, i.e. this AMG 450SEL 6.9.

The STALKER series has given me more "OH SHIT!!" moments than any other series. AvP series is great as well. I loved the original, played it a lot when I was little until we got a newer computer and the colors started displaying wrong. Pink and blue aliens just aren't quite as frightening.

Yep, one of the worst cars I have ever ridden in. It was worse than the Scion xD which is saying a lot. I mean I didn't expect much from a car that started at $11000, but it really felt as if it was designed to be thrown away in 3-5 years.

I have a friend who drives an SL1, and when looking in parts yards around Atlanta, we have found tons of S Series. There are 3 Pull-a-Part yards near us, one had about 20, the next had another 25-30, and the last has nearly 50 of them. The sad part is that most of the ones in the yards are in relatively good shape and…

The R107 seems to be the most common old Mercedes in my area (Georgia Tech/Atlanta). There are 5 or 6 students here who have one, compared to 2 or 3 W123 that I have seen around campus. The R107 is also seemingly much more common on Craigslist in Atlanta than the W123 or even the W201.

You are wrong with #9. The 300SD was the OM617 inline 5 turbodiesel up until 1985.

How dare you want to replace the Maserati V6 with some American lump?

It's a light used by detailers to see scratches and swirl marks in paint. Detailers really do not like automated car washes. Automated car washes tend to use poor products or products that are outright bad for your paint (one trick used to stretch the soap is to add lots of salt to it), touchless washes often don't…

We are forgetting one very important man, Bruno Sacco. He started as a mechanical engineer and worked for Mercedes as an engineer and stylist from 1958 until 1999, and was head of the Daimler-Benz styling center from 1975 onwards. "...until he retired in 1999 he was responsible for the design of every Mercedes road…

Not really, the Sportline models didn't have any more power than the standard cars, just upgraded suspension and interior.

71-80% Jalop for my 1980 Mercedes 300SD

As sad as their dilapidated states are, I find all of these to be pieces of art in their present states. I would love to have some as these as pieces of artwork, but if I were to choose one to restore, it would have to be the Voisin Type C3. Sure there isn't much left of it, but as a lover of prewar automobiles and…

I loved how it was used in the Regulators Raid scene in Django Unchained, but this is even better.

Oh its a 78, it has the pre-1980 (or maybe it's 1981) interior. You can tell by the headrests which are the early "butterfly" or "bunny-ear" style. Or possibly its a later one with an earlier interior, but that is unlikely.

They are pretty slow. I have driven an automatic one (3-speed!) on the highway, definitely a right lane vehicle. They don't really have the pep to get out of their own way, unfortunately leading to rear-end accidents of people expecting the car to move faster. My dad had a 4-speed, which we are restoring for him, that…

It's standard. My 03 Sprinter has a similar clip.

Sprinter-esque because they are rebadged Sprinters with VW powertrains.

I'm not sure if it is a feature on the SUVs but let me know what you find out.

I believe all Mercedes starting with the w123 open that wide. I own a couple of 240D and also a w201 190D and 190E that all open that wide, my w116 300SD unfortunately does not but it still offers ample room. It's one of my favorite features of the "newer" cars.
