Mercedes-Benz solidified their reputation for building luxury with
the introduction of the SL class, 2 seater convertibles. Once
behind the wheel of one of these fine touring convertibles, you can
feel all of the quality and excellence that went into developing
and producing these vehicles. This 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is an
excellent example. In 2010, LaVine Restorations, Inc in Nappanee,
Indiana, completed a highly detailed restoration. Accompanying this
450SL are receipts from the restoration that total more than
$87000.00. WIth the high quality of work preformed, it was awarded
a National First Prize from AACA at the 2013 Auburn, Indiana meet.
The letter from AACA and the trophy will be passed along with the
450SL as well as the receipts. The car still shows very well, and
is in overall excellent condition. During the restoration, the 4.5L
V8 and transmission were both rebuilt by Charles Mong from
Indianapolis, Indiana. This 450SL runs and drives just as it
should. The high quality paint is in excellent condition as well as
the exterior chrome and stainless trim. The exterior is enhanced by
the polished factory chrome wheels, and the addition of an AMG
front spoiler. The body colored hard top and tan soft top are both
in excellent condition. The red leather interior is in excellent
condition showing little to no wear. Nicely optioned with air
conditioning, power windows, power antenna, factory tachometer,
power steering, power front disc brakes, and added aftermarket
Pioneer AM/FM with CD stereo. Here is an opportunity to purchase a
beautifully restored 450SL at the fraction of the price of the
investment that went into this award winning Mercedes-Benz.
