Well cared-for and carefully driven a mere 18,885 miles since new,
this well documented and highly-original Mercedes-Benz 450SL
carries the distinguished presence of German engineering excellence
in its Inca Red 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 Inca Red
Metallic and folding Dark Brown 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 Vredestein
205/70R14 tires, this 450SL maintains its authentic road presence
with just the right stance.
The Beige leather interior presents a rich cabin environment that's
both driver-focused and tastefully appointed. The leather 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
cold air conditioning and the original 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.
