Vehicle Description
1974 Mercedes Benz 450 SLC
The SLC class of Mercedes went into production in 1971 and was the
hardtop coupe counterpart to the roadster convertible. They
stretched their SL models to make it happen which allowed them to
incorporate a rear bench seat. Of the 62,888 SLC's produced only
1,636 were the 450SLC making them quite sought after by collectors.
This 1974 is a very clean example and has been very well maintained
since new. It is regularly serviced by Mercedes specialists and
comes with a bunch of records showing how well it has been taken
care of. Over time it has essentially received a piece by piece
restoration with almost $30K being invested since 2016. The body is
all laser straight and wears a very nice Silver paint that has been
redone. All of the stock accents like the nicely chromed bumpers
and classic Mercedes grill are all cleanly mounted in place and in
good condition. The glass is all good as well and it has the
correct rear quarter window slats. The car rides on its original
Mercedes Benz wheels and the tires are in good shape.
Under the hood is its original 4.5L motor that runs great. It is
paired with an automatic transmission that was fully rebuilt in
2016. As mentioned previous the car has been meticulously
maintained and has always received anything it needed including a
new timing chain, new tensioner, new ignition, new gaskets, new
water pump, new wheel bearings and even an all new exhaust in 2018.
The power brakes and suspension have also been fully gone through
and everything works properly. It has been kept mostly stock but
the air conditioning system has been modernized to use R134 which
is a nice upgrade.
The Black upholstery inside the car is in great condition and has
been redone in the past. It has dual front bucket seats that sit to
each side of the original console and shifter. The dash features
all of its original gauges, knobs, and switches which are all
functioning. The trunk is nicely carpeted and provides plenty of
storage space.
This car has a good clear Texas title and also comes with those
records plus a car cover. Being the unique 450SLC model and the
fact it was so well taken care of definitely puts this Mercedes at
the top of the list. These unique luxury cars have quite the
following so it would make a great addition to any collection.
