Vehicle Description
I have been a classic car collector for 35 years, first time
listing to sell 60 of my 70 my personal collection of classics.
This car is both a convertible and a hardtop and the hardtop is
included in the sales price. This is a very nice and highly prized
automobile because this model was only manufactured in 1972. It
drives well and runs smoothly and the power steering, brakes and
other options operate very efficiently. These are highly
collectable cars and clean ones like this one are even harder to
come by. The 1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SL Roadster, produced by
Daimler-Benz AG. Stuttgart in Germany for the US Market is one of
the rarest of all the SL's because it only had a production life of
one year! The black convertible top is manual and folds easily into
the well below the hard boot. All 1972 SLs packed a 4.5 liter V8
that is one of the most reliable engines ever built. With fuel
injection and a lack of emissions controls in 1972 it's the best
possible combination of power and performance in an early SL making
it quite lively on the road. The transmission shifts well and the
brakes are very good also.
