Expertly crafted with Germanic precision, this 1979 Mercedes-Benz
450SEL presents an authoritative Dark Gray Metallic finish. The
three-pointed star proudly leads the way, firmly establishing this
sedan's prestigious bloodline. Angular yet elegant body lines
create a sophisticated profile that only Mercedes-Benz could
perfect during the late 70s. Factory 14" Mercedes wheels maintain
authentic European road presence, fitted with 205/70R14 tires for
proper grip. Four doors offer access to luxury while distinctive
stacked headlights and well-proportioned chrome bumpers complete
the unmistakable W116 S-Class aesthetic that made these cars
automotive royalty among executives worldwide.
German luxury permeates throughout the Saddle Tan vinyl interior
where every control was engineered for driver satisfaction. Bucket
seats show excellent preservation with firm yet comfortable support
that only Mercedes could design. The uncracked dashboard houses
crystal-clear gauges displaying information with trademark Teutonic
precision. Wood trim accents surround the console-mounted shifter,
adding old-world craftsmanship to the driving environment. Numerous
luxuries abound including power windows, door locks, and the highly
desirable Becker Mexico radio. Cold R12 air conditioning maintains
ideal cabin temperature regardless of outside conditions, exactly
as Mercedes engineers intended.
German V8 muscle comes courtesy of the 4.5 Liter engine with
sophisticated electronic fuel injection providing smooth,
authoritative power delivery. The 3-speed automatic transmission
shifts with calculated precision expected from Stuttgart's finest
automobiles. Four-wheel power disc brakes bring this executive
sedan to controlled stops while power steering gives directional
control with minimal effort. Independent suspension with rear
coilovers delivers that signature floating-on-air sensation that
defined Mercedes-Benz luxury during this golden era. The
well-maintained engine compartment shows careful attention with
factory-correct components throughout.
