Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Las Vegas is pleased to present a 1973
Mercedes-Benz 450SL in White with Black Leather interior showing
103,719 miles on the odometer.The SL line was produced from 1954
and remains in production to date by Mercedes-Benz. The designation
SL in German is Super-Leicht which in English translates in Super
Light. The 450SL is designated the R107 which ran from 1971-1989
while the 450SL itself was produced from 1973-1980 being the second
longest production run for Mercedes-Benz behind the still produced
G Wagon. The 450SL is powered by a 4.5 liter mated to a 3 speed
automatic transmission. Fuel was controlled by an early engine
management system known as the "Bosch D Jettronic Fuel Injection
System". The ride was aptly controlled by a double wishbone, coil
springs and stabilizers bars with steering handled by a
recirculating ball system.The R107's were equipped with a removable
hard top and a collapsible soft top.This example carries original
equipment down to the Becker Radio and the early 1973 thin chrome
bumpers front and rear. Early SL450's are getting harder to find
but here is a chance to purchase one of the most beautiful of the
Sl years at a reasonable price. Just get and drop the soft top and
it's 1973 all over again. Driving gloves are optional.
