For Sale: 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL in Lutz, Florida

Vehicle Description

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.
