For Sale: 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL in Fairfield, California

Vehicle Description


This 1979 Mercedes Benz 450SL 2 Door Convertible (Stock # P10739) is available in our Pleasanton, CA showroom and any inquiries may be directed to us at 925-484-2262 or by email at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
Stunning 1979 Mercedes Benz 450SL Convertible
New to our Pleasanton showroom is this highly impressive 1979 Mercedes Benz 450SL 2 Door Convertible with gray exterior paint and an immaculate black leather interior. You'll find a 4.5L V-8 engine under the hood that's paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission, and this particular example is nicely optioned from the factory with power locks/windows, cold A/C, and the original factory 'Becker Mexico' stereo/cassette player.


Highly Original W/ 21,032 Original Lifetime Miles
The current owner informs us that his father purchased this beautiful '79 Mercedes Benz 450SL brand new in 1979 from a local Bay Area dealership, and kept this car at his home in Alameda California where it was always garaged and resided prior to being brought to our Pleasanton, CA showroom. Sparingly driven a mere 4,800 average miles per year, this SL drives as impeccably as you would expect; excellent acceleration from the 4.5 liter V-8 and crisp shifts from the original drivetrain enhance the great driving experience from this classic Mercedes Benz roadster. With such low mileage and thoughtful driving over the years, minimal maintenance and repairs were required, therefore, there isn't much in repair or maintenance records other than oil changes, new tires, and bi-annual California smog inspections for registration. A respray of the original gray exterior paint was done within the last couple years to freshen things up and correct some fading to the trunk lid and hood.
In terms of physical condition, this 1979 Mercedes Benz 450SL 2 Door Convertible shows well in person with excellent body lines and very nice paint. The original chrome and trim are also in great condition with minimal blemishes, and the factory interior and leather are in essentially like-new condition. There is some oxidation to the chrome knock-off rims and surface areas of the engine components due to unavoidable salt air over the years from the proximity to the San Francisco Bay, but nothing on the body or undercarriage suggest any rust whatsoever.
Excellent Overall Shape & Driven a Mere 21,032 Miles
Overall, this 1979 Mercedes Benz 450SL 2 Door Convertible is a gorgeous, well-maintained roadster with excellent performance and a mere 21,032 lifetime miles. This is easily one of the nicest examples we've come across lately, so do not expect for this one to remain available for long. For more information about this vehicle, visit our Pleasanton, California showroom, give us a call at 925-484-2262, or email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). Be sure to mention Stock # P10739as well.
