Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is excited to offer this 1979
Mercedes-Benz 450SL for sale on consignment. This accessible slice
of German luxury can be seen at our Arizona showroom, located in
North Phoenix. These Stuttgart-engineered personal luxury cars,
classified by Mercedes as R107, were adapted for the US market and
sold very well stateside. The "450" in the model name also denotes
the engine size in the vehicle, namely a 4.5l V8 engine. All
Mercedes' from this era had standard fuel injection, which was
ahead of many American manufacturers who were still phasing out
carburetors. A 3-speed automatic transmission shifts as smoothly as
you'd expect on a Mercedes classic. This 450SL has been repainted
in a vibrant Red color with a matching Red hardtop and a Black
manually operated soft top that can be raised with the removal of
the hardtop. The interchangeable personality of SL's is part of the
reason they are so popular to this day and it's great to have
essentially three cars in one! Custom Momo alloy wheels give this
Mercedes cool curb appeal. Inside there have been a few minor
modifications to the Black leather interior- namely a new Pioneer
stereo, added speakers in the storage area behind the seats and
Luisi steering wheel. The original wheel has been kept for anyone
wanting to revert the look back to stock. Power windows are a nice
convenience to enjoy and climate control reminds you this was a
high-end car for the 1970's! This is an excellent opportunity to
take ownership of a quality Mercedes-Benz product at a fantastic
price; don't let it pass you by! Give our helpful and knowledgeable
Sales staff a call today at (623) 900-4884 and we will put our eyes
and ears on this racy red 450SL for you. We are always quick to
respond to any email inquiries sent to
[email protected] if you would prefer to
communicate that way. Don't see all the photos and video material
