essence of luxury motoring. European luxury roadster engineering
takes center stage with this 450SL in Tobacco Brown complemented by
a warm tan interior that invites you to experience comfort and
refinement. Manual soft top and removable brown fiberglass hard top
provide dual weather protection options. The 4.5-liter V8 features
Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection and was factory rated at 190
horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear
wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the
450SL is equipped with a range of features designed to enhance your
driving pleasure. Entertainment is at your fingertips with the
AM/FM radio and CD player, providing a soundtrack to your travels.
For those long drives, the cruise control feature offers
convenience and ease, allowing you to maintain a steady speed with
minimal effort. Power steering and power brakes make driving
effortless, with four-wheel disc brakes providing stopping power.
The suspension consists of coil springs, shocks, and sway bar up
front, with coils and shocks handling rear duties.
Dual-to-single-to-dual exhaust routing with aftermarket mufflers
completes the mechanical package. Power windows add a touch of
modern convenience, allowing for easy adjustment with the push of a
button. The four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation
including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and
gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The
six-digit odometer shows 76k miles, although true mileage is
unknown. This 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450SL combines German luxury with
