For Sale: 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of Charlotte is proud to digitally present this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL with a matching detachable hardtop (Paint Code 680).North America was the key market for this Personal luxury car, with two-thirds of R107 and C107 chassis models production being sold there. Sales in North America began in 1972, and vehicles wore the badge 350 SL but had a larger 4.5L V8 with three-speed auto (and were renamed 450 SL for the model year 1973); the big V8 became available on other markets with the official introduction of the 450 SL/SLC on non-North American markets in March 1973.This 450SL is a triple threat for styling looks; whether you go hard top mounted, soft top (replaced in 2020) closed, or full convertible open, you will garner the attention of onlookers as you enjoy this stunning roadster. This enthralling example of the 450SL comes equipped with a bevy of options to keep comfort and luxury at your fingertips. The Parchment interior is clean and comfortable for both the driver and passenger, having new carpet installed in 2020. If the weather is too warm or cool outside, put on one of the tops, raise the power heat-insulating windows (new seals in 2020), and engage the automatic cabin climate control. If extra illumination is needed during evening driving, pull the light switch to power up the factory fog lamps to help you see more clearly on your journey. These niceties are coupled with the Mercedes-Benz 4.5 Liter engine and a smooth automatic transmission making piloting this capable roadster an absolute joy for the driver.
