For Sale: 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC in Tigard, Oregon

Vehicle Description

This is a very good driver in need of a little TLC.

A short driving video: https://youtu.be/InbL55a8DpQ

The indicated mileage is 20,319 miles. It's a 6-digit odometer, so I really doubt it could have rolled over. This is not a car that has driven more than a million miles. Additionally, I have a series of invoices dating from 1999 to 2012, all under the same owner's name, showing consistent mileage ranging from 13,954 to 18,479. The next invoice is dated 2021, under a different owner's name, with a mileage of 20,133. In the end, even though this mileage seems strangely low, I haven't found any evidence suggesting it isn't accurate. At the same time, I cannot certify that it is. 

The upholstery needs to be completely redone. Front and back, including the foam, at least for the driver's seat.

The bodywork appears exceptionally sound. I noted 2 rust spots, one in the trunk on what looks like the battery support in some models, and the other on the inner left front fender.

A brake warning light stays on permanently, even though the car brakes very well.

The clock does not work.

All the gauges work, as well as the horn and the windshield wipers. Even the electric antenna works.

The ventilation works. The air conditioning does not produce cold air.

The power steering “purrs” slightly when engaged, but it works very well.

The car starts very easily, and it is very pleasant to drive. It seems to have a very good level of performance.

The tires seem very recent and in perfect condition. The suspensions are also very comfortable.

The car is sold as-is.
