Vehicle Description
Family-owned since new, this Mercedes-Benz 450SL carries the
distinguished presence of German engineering excellence in its Blue
Green Metallic finish. The angular yet refined body lines give a
decidedly luxurious appearance while maintaining sporting
proportions that define the SL legacy. This grand tourer offers the
best of both worlds with its removable hardtop in matching Blue
Green Metallic and folding black canvas soft top. The chrome
accents on the bumpers and trim provide elegant contrast against
the metallic paint. Rolling on 14" factory wheels wrapped in
Hankook 205/70R14 tires, this 450SL maintains its authentic road
presence with just the right stance.
The Palomino leather interior presents a rich cabin environment
that's both driver-focused and tastefully appointed. Recently
redone seats and center armrest show exceptional care, creating a
comfortable driving position that supports spirited driving or
relaxed cruising. Wood grain trim on the center console displays
remarkable preservation, maintaining its original luster without
the typical cracking seen in many examples. The ergonomic layout
places all controls within easy reach, while the clear gauge faces
provide critical information at a glance. This Mercedes-Benz
includes both air conditioning and an AM/FM cassette stereo for
long-distance comfort.
A 4.5 Liter V8 engine lies at the center of this German
masterpiece, providing ample power through a smooth 3-speed
automatic transmission. The fuel-injected V8 offers the reliable
performance that made these cars legendary for their durability and
longevity. Four-wheel power disc brakes bring everything to a
controlled stop when needed. The suspension system employs coil
springs, shocks, and a sway bar up front, with coils and shocks in
the rear for balanced handling. This 450SL has undergone a modern
Freon conversion for the air conditioning system, along with
maintenance updates to key components such as plug wires and the
distributor cap.
