Vehicle Description
One owner car, fully restored, new paint, interior, and top. Fully
serviced ready to go. The Mercedes-Benz SL name has always
signified a certain level of automotive style and sophistication,
and each new generation seems both to define and be defined by its
era. Styling was typically conservative and somewhat reminiscent of
the pagoda top cars, and despite dimensions more or less the same,
the SL appeared to be much larger.The fuel-injected V-8 featured an
overhead cam and delivered 180 horsepower. It was paired with a
three-speed automatic, with no manual transmission on offer.
Suspension was fully independent and four-wheel disc braking was
standard. In 1978, Mercedes introduced automatic climate control
and 14-inch aluminum wheels as standard equipment. The 450SL model
ended production with the 1980 model year, and its 380SL
replacement would carry the torch into the 1980s. Before it was
gone, however, the 450SL averaged about 6,000 units annually. When
paired with their renowned reputation, they are easy to locate
today and make for very comfortable top-down cruisers. This example
has 59,155 miles and comes with hard and soft tops. Interior is in
great shape, come and see this beautiful classic Mercedes at our
showroom today.
