For Sale: 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL in Mesa, Arizona

This week, Canyon State Classics brings to market a 1980 Mercedes 450SL in Astral Silver over Black leather appointments. This R107 comes to us from California and was most recently owned and maintained by a resident of the SF Bay area. The 450sl is powered by a 4.5l V8 mated to an automatic transmission. It retains its original hardtop and has a new canvas soft top and window. It is rare to find these SL's with this kind of low mileage because once you drive this car you won't want to get out. Here is your chance to own the Mercedes flagship for a fraction of its original sticker cost.

The list of some of the equipment:

-4.5L V8 Engine

-Automatic Transmission

-Power Windows

-Power Door Locks

-New Soft Top

-Removable Hard Top

-Upgraded Continental Head Unit

-Ice Cold A/C

-Beautiful Original Black Leather Interior

-Beautiful Original Bundt Painted Alloy Wheels

The body on the car is in very good condition and was extremely well maintained. The paint on the car is still mostly its original coat of Astral SIlver Metallic and is in very nice condition. The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as a west coast car should be. The car is riding on gorgeous original 14" Bundt alloy wheels with radial tires. All chrome trim, glass, and rubber seals are in great shape. The black soft top is brand new. The hard top has good seals and the headliner is in awesome shape. Overall the exterior appearance of this car is a 9 out of 10.

The interior is in great shape all around. The dash and door panels are in perfect condition. The original real-leather seats are all in very good condition and serves as a testament to the care in ownership over the years. The wood grain is in fair condition and chips/ imperfections are pictured. The carpets are all very nice and have been professionally cleaned. All dials and controls function as they should; power windows and antenna also are fully functional. The sound system is also very nice with retro continental blutooth head unit.

Mechanically, this SL runs GREAT! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. The V8 engine is surprisingly quick and responsive. Many Mercedes experts and mechanics stand behind the 4.5L as the best engine Mercedes ever made. It is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily available. The suspension is very tight and feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 90mph.

All in all, this is great example of 450sl R107 car. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owners. These cars are only original once, and getting ultra-hard to find in this unmolested condition. This Mercedes is a fantastic car for the price and includes every option offered in this car. This is your chance to get an almost new 450sl convertible for a fraction of the original cost and super well maintained. The car has a clean Arizona Title.
