Few cars capture the golden age of grand touring quite like this
1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL. Built on the legendary R107 chassis,
this Burgundy-over-Tan Leather roadster represents Stuttgart at the
height of its over-engineered reputation.
Engineers famously nicknamed the R107 ""der Panzerwagen"" for its
tank-like build quality, and to this day the 450 SL is considered
one of the most reliable, hand-built classics you can drive.
This example comes to us with only 68,292 original miles, powered
by its factory 4.5L V8 backed by a smooth 3-speed automatic
transmission.
Finished in rich Burgundy paint over a supple Tan Leather interior,
this is a true driver's classic. Equipped with the removable
pagoda-style hardtop, power soft top, and that unmistakable
long-hood, short-deck SL silhouette.
Standard luxury features include automatic climate control, real
wood interior trim, cruise control, four-wheel power disc brakes,
and classic alloy wheels. Because 1980 was the final year for the
4.5L V8 in the U.S. market, late 450 SLs like this 1979 example are
increasingly sought after by collectors who prize the larger
displacement and torquier feel.
