History on the 1980 Mercedes-benz 450SL:
Vehicle Highlights:
The 1980 Mercedes Benz 450SL is spacious 2-seater that marries the disconnection of a sporty, yet reliable quality, with a refined ostentatious look. The 450 SL arrived in the United States in 1973 along with U.S. –spec bumpers that joined the twin sealed-beam headlamps in marring the good looks of the European version of the car. The interior comes with air-conditioning, powered windows, burl-wood accents and the indestructible MB- Tex. interior. Powered by a 275.8ci V-8 engine producing 225 HP at 5,000 RPM’s. The 450SL was shown in many memorable movies and television shows, like when Tony Roberts chauffeured Woody Allen around Beverly Hills in Annie Hall. Richard Gere’s memorable cruise down Malibu to Blondie’s “Call Me” in American Giogolo.
As you walk up to this particular 450SL you are immediately struck by the astonishing Inca Red Metallic paint. As your hand reaches down to open the driver door you are amazed by the well-maintained bright work. Opening the door delivers a satisfying click and when you shut it close you hear a solid thunk. The chocolate brown interior warms up the cabin and the contrast stitching of the Inca Red Metallic paint in the floor mats allows the unique paint color to seep through the entire cabin. The steering wheel is thick and appropriately weighted in your hands. The shiny Mercedes-Benz logo beckons your fingers to wipe it. All of the buttons work in the interior, the rims were stripped and re-done and over $4,500 was recently put into the engine. This vehicle comes with the optional hard-top. This is a truly exceptional vehicle and you will not want to miss out on this opportunity.
