1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SL

Description

If you are in the market for an exceptional deal on a legit classic car, then take a closer look at this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SL. Offering timeless styling, first-class comfort, and bulletproof reliability, this Mercedes has a lot going for it!

1973 was the final year of the desirable small bumper SL. One year later the government would step in and insist on the large, clumsy bumpers. The R107 SL's shape should be quite familiar by now, but for folks outside the hobby, they still represent luxury and plenty of class. This SL lives up to the hype, there are a few signs of age, but at this price, they're easy to overlook. Overall though, the burgundy paint is in nice shape and even features a new cloth top. Equipped with just a tasteful few splashes of chrome, the grille, lenses, and polished trim all look great against the burgundy paint, giving it a very upscale look that never gets old.

Inside the luxurious interior has been meticulously cared for. The textured seating surfaces have been recovered and look right at home in the top-of-the-line SL. Inside the dash you'll find No-nonsense gauges that are big, clear, and easy to read at a glance. The center console houses the rest of the controls including the power windows and the traditional gaited shifter. On the floor, the new carpet looks incredible. Overall, the interior is in great condition and with a trunk that is well shaped and deep enough for your overnight bags, you will be ready to pack up and hit the road!

Pop open the hood and you'll reveal a correct Bosch fuel injected 4.5 liter V8. Based on the overall look of the engine bay, it very well could be the original factory drivetrain. Equipped with power steering, fuel injection and 4-wheel disc brakes, this Mercedes is a dream to drive regularly, and for extended distances. Bolted to the V8 is a 3-speed automatic transmission that is ready for life on the highway. At the corners, 14" Mercedes wheels bring together the traditional look, and are wrapped in 205/70R14 Michelin rubber.

This gorgeous 450SL is ready to be enjoyed. And with a price like this, it won't last long under our showroom lights! Call today!
