Coachworks parts were handmade by famed Marcel Delay & Sons, Custom Metal Shaping, Corona, California. [The 500K was the very finest of Mercedes Benz productions of the mid-1930s, and each of the very few surviving originals is worth over $10 million; in one memorable film sequence from 1935 you see (Reichminister) Hermann Goering driving his own silver 500K Mercedes at the head of a procession of motorcars in the grand opening ceremony of one of Nazi Germany's early autobahns. BIG Photo of dashboard1: Click Here! The fabulous 500K was also a favorite of heads of state and film stars of the era, including Hollywood legend Marlene Dietrich. BIG Photo of dashboard2: Click Here!]. This all-steel beauty is built on a Ford chassis with a 400 cid Ford V8 powerplant & automatic transmission. Classic Factory used this very automobile to make the molds for their famed 500K fiberglass reproductions. This award-winning motorcar has been used by celebrities in many parades in California including the Hollywood Christmas Parade. BIG Photo of rear seating area: Click Here! It has been featured on countless magazine covers over the years. It is truly a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. BIG Photo of the door upholstery: Click Here! Incidentally, the 'K' in '500K' stood for 'Kurz,' German for "short," referring to its (shorter-than-phaeton and other 4-door models) wheelbase. BIG broadside shot: Click Here! $85,000 obo.

For Sale: 1952 MG-TD replica by Fiberfab. This  flying-fendered little sportscar (I call her Maggie) has really been well cared for. The builder that I bought it from four years ago loved her dearly. The (Ford 4-cyl./2,300 cc German-engineered) powerplant is overhead cam so it is a bit smoky in the garage when I first start it, but doesn't use any oil. I’ve put only about 4,000 fun miles on it, due to the unpredictable weather here in Missouri. The rugged and reliable little engine has logged only about 43K miles so it’s never needed a rebuild. The 4-speed Ford tranny and clutch are in great condition and have no issues. Also, you get the original odometer, side curtains, tonneau cover, and a complete set of Chilton’s 1976 Ford Pinto manuals. The brakes are good, (front disc) the steering I've had worked on to tighten it up, and above 65 mph gets a little shaky. I had the car aligned a year ago last spring,  The Goodyear tires are like new. The chrome is rust free, although there are some minor factory imperfections. The top and back window are in great shape; there is one snap missing on the left back corner of the top, easily replaceable. The fiberglass body is in splendid shape, altho’ the driver door has a scraped spot about 2.5"–3" long (you can see it in the photo) from the previous owner hitting his garage door; I've not had it touched up. I also added door restraints to keep the door from folding back onto the rear fender. I’ve always stored her indoors during the winter, and used Stabil gas treatment each year to keep the fuel system clean. The clutch, brake and gas pedals are very close, just as on the real deal (we’re talkin’ authenticity!), and I’ve worked to give them more space, which I think could still be improved. I’m 5' 9" tall and weigh about 230 lbs., which makes it a close, but not uncomfortable ride for me. $7,500. Contact K.C. “Casey” at (816) 665-2442 CDT, or email: KCstokes05@yahoo.com

This car has been kept in my garage since 1981 and has been driven 3,436 miles; clear Florida title as an assembled vehicle.

‘Marlene’ roadster Deluxe Kit by Classic Roadsters Ltd. Here's a photo of a finished 'Marlene' of the same color: Click Here! White coachwork/blue fabric top/blue upholstery. Here's what automotive writer Curt Scott had to say about the 'Marlene' in the early 1990s: “Reminiscent of the styling of the legendary 500K Mercedes roadsters of the 1930s, the Marlene 500K is today one of Classic Roadsters’ most popular models. Even the name is reminiscent of the sentimental lyrics of the German (and Allied!) wartime ballad ‘Lili Marlene,’ that poignant tune ironically sung in German by (Swedish-born German) Lale (“Lolly”) Anderson, and in English by (German-born American) Marlene Dietrich. CR’s own literature points out, however, that the name was derived from the fact that in 1936 Daimler Benz was commissioned to design a personalized model for sultry international film star Marlene Dietrich, and thus for a historical touch the title “Marlene” seemed an appropriate sobriquet. Downsized a bit, and lighter and more nimble than the Teutonic original, the Marlene is the marvelous motorcar for enthusiasts who appreciate the timeless styling of the 1930s Daimlers, but require more durability and economy and practicality for everyday driving.” (end of quote). This Classic Roadsters unbuilt kit, still in its original shipping container, is the ‘Deluxe' Edition’ (specc'd for all standard Ford component parts). $8,800 obo. Contact Shelley at (626) 797-xxxx

Dear Kit Car: Mark my Sebring MX SOLD... before I could even get my photos to you! I want to inform you that I had several inquiries about my partial Sebring MX kit which resulted in a sale this past week. Your knowledgeable information on what the dollar amount I should expect allowed me to price it at what it probably was worth. This produced interest and a sale instead of scaring potential buyers off. Once again Thanks so much and good luck in your continued efforts to keep the Kit Car industry clean. Best Wishes in the future. Peter Crumley
