Vehicle Description
Family-owned since new, this Mercedes-Benz 450SL carries the
distinguished presence of German engineering excellence in its
Yellow 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 and folding chocolate brown
canvas soft top. The chrome accents on the bumpers and trim provide
elegant contrast against the light colored paint. Rolling on 14"
factory wheels wrapped in Yokahama 205/70R14 tires, this 450SL
maintains its authentic road presence with just the right
stance.
The saddle 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 a classic Becker Mexico 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.
