For sale in our Dallas/Fort Worth showroom is a 1980 Mercedes-Benz
450SL. The SL name has always signified a certain level of quality
and sophistication and the R107 model would be no exception.
Introduced in 1972 year as a replacement for the W113 series, the
107 would make an unprecedented model run all the way through �89.
For me, these cars bring back very fond memories of my grandfather
teaching me to drive around the neighborhood in his 380SL when I
was a child, which speaks volumes for the ease at which these cars
can be piloted. This �80 is a great example of an original well
preserved 450SL. The exterior is finished in the classic Mercedes
Silver with blue leather interior. With the front engine rear wheel
drive design handling characteristics are not quite what you would
expect. The ride is plush yet stiff with the just the right amount
road feel making it an absolute pleasure to drive. Powering this
exotic roadster is a torque filled 4.5 liter V8 that is paired to a
smooth shifting 4 speed automatic allowing this roadster to barrel
down the road in a way that only a Mercedes can. The interior is
exactly what you would expect from a Benz. There is enough high
quality leather to cover three sofas with the bucket seats being as
comfortable as they look. The interior door panels are in great
condition and definitely remind you that you are in a high end
luxury car. With the late 70's and early 80's German cars being one
of the hottest commodities in the collector car market this beauty
is sure to find a new home quickly. There were only 66,298 450SL
