Mercedes Benz S500 W140 '95 Dark Blue - Will take Serious Offer - $3950 (Alhambra, CA)

Handsome pre-loved Mercedes Benz S-500 W140 '95 model. These are the tough MBs that were still completely made in GERMANY! The exact same series used by the royal family in the 90s! You can't find any make/model like this one in this great condition at this great bargain price! Current mileage only @ 179230. Just PASSED the CA Smog Test with all systems OK this month! Vehicle registration already paid for until October 2016. Only $3,950 asking price but I will take serious (but not ridiculous) CASH offers. Sport grill, Lowered suspension, Deep Midnight Blue, silver AMG rims, cool AC system, Bluetooth Alpine stereo (awesome sound system that connects to your smartphone), double-pane power windows, well preserved interior, Original Owner's Manual intact, clean & well maintained engine, etc. In very good running condition. Ideal for avid MB collectors or for those who like driving powerful V8 engines. Ready to drive!!! I only use this occasionally as my spare car during short trips around the city hence the well preserved condition. Clean car with clean title. See all my photos to appreciate. For more details & test drive appointments, please send me TXT MESSAGES ONLY @ 626-841-3370 . I can only take phone calls after work hours from 5:30 pm onward. The car may be viewed in a secured area (vicinity of Ralph's Supermaket, Pasadena lighted parking area with surveillance cameras) by interested buyers with a confirmed appointment only after office hours during weekdays & whole day during weekends. Thank you.

I have a strange desire to own a 930 slantnose today.

This very interesting little flatbed truck was imported into California from London over 20 years ago, where it started life as a lumber delivery truck in the late 60's.

This two owner truck was purchase directly from that lumbar yard in England.

It has some rust here and there but overall is very solid and very roadworthy. We have newer side curtains for this BMC, as well.

It is a very straight truck with no accidents.

The US owner converted it into a little race car flatbed. Very easy to roll on and off a small car. Has custom aluminum ramps. As you can see from the photos, it would be ideal for a small car or motorcycles.

Powered by a 1500cc BMC engine with a 4-speed box. Just had all brakes serviced and clutch gone through and rebuilt. Also went through the fuel system.

This truck starts nicely on the key. Engine is strong, as well as gearbox, clutch, brakes, and steering all being in very good working order. Probably not ideal for long freeway work but interesting for fun local outings.

Please note that this truck is Right Hand Drive.

Cheers!

Ladies and Gentlemen, you may all need a moment after this one, you have been warned. I've just discovered 'Daily Turismo' for the first time via a link on the 'street rally car' thread and went browsing. Looks like BaT before they turned themselves into an auction site. Anyway, on there I found a link to this beutie. E34 with a V12 6 speed manual conversion for $8K.

Excuse me, I need a moment now.

Car has approximately 105-115k miles on it - the stock M70 V12 motor is in the neighborhood of just under 200k.

Original V8 to V12 conversion carried out at Korman Autoworks in North Carolina. That motor was later removed for use in another E34 project and replaced by the current stock M70 in 2007 by Koala Motorsport in Cleveland. Tranny is the V12 specific 6spd that was found in the 850 and was designed to go behind this motor.

Suspension bits include (Dinan package): Adjustable Koni shocks H&R springs in rear, Dinan springs in front (have the H&R fronts new in box) Adjustable Dinan sway bars front & rear

Dinan Stage 3 brake conversion is basically the BMW Nurburgring package. Handles and stops very well. The ride is firm, but not harsh.

Nice, very clean sounding stereo system.

Front M5 sport seats in the correct parchment color.

Very nice condition inside and out. A few rock chips on the front end. Is mechanically sound. Runs and drives well. Leaks a little oil, burns a little oil.

Originally a Florida car, then spent some time in Texas until 2007. Winters here have been spent in the garage. Has never seen snow/ salt; there are no rust issues.

There's a good build writeup in the Feb 05 issue of Performance BMW magazine.

Here's a link to some online pics and description from a site where it was listed when it was for sale with the Hartge motor (2006/ 2007 timeframe): http://www.carpictures.com/BMW/530i-with-6-0L-V12-1995-06L5F583110595

Note that the 500hp Hartge motor is gone, the current v12 is a stock M70.

"Bloomin' Bus"

1987 GMC School bus that has been converted to the Bloomin' Bus covered with a potting soil "envelope" so plants are growing over the entire bus. Complete with watering system. Bus runs good and will make a great camper or hunting lodge or for any other use.

In reply to Wall-e: Perfect race mobile!

I'm trying to figure out why this is a "Project Type Car". Probably the trans shifting issue.

http://newhaven.craigslist.org/cto/5268071982.html

Plus, the guy posted pics of the interior that look immaculate, but states that the interior requires further cleaning.

I'm reading that most of the shifting problems with the car can be attributed to the master,slave or fluid. but if it's the synchro then you're looking at a good amount of money for a rebuild (probably $2k), though the ZF tranny is a good one and the LT1 is obviously the best motor for the C4.

Then there is this for something I can only lust after. Really like the white Z06.

Think he is just trying to weed out the buyers who will low ball him because it needs work. Basically this car isn't perfect and I know that. Unfortunately now I want a 92 corvette, shouldn't have looked at that post. Smh.

Legally imported and all Lancia Delta HF Integrale. Good lord I need a real project car because I'm starting to get worse.

http://ventura.craigslist.org/cto/5313148114.html $800 (Carson) For sale is a one owner, low mileage, all original 1981 Corolla Lift Back. 57,XXX miles. The car will run, but needs tuning. Car was used to drive locally and rarely driven on the freeway. Great fuel economy, and no oil links. Pink slip and Carfax in hand.

My mom had one of those Corolla liftbacks. Great cars. She sold it around the time with 300k on the clock or so and it was still putting around.

That Integrale

I wouldn't kick that Hardtop Miata out of the garage either.

Lust might be a stretch, but it's cool as hell and I know I'd find a use for it.
