Another Crawdaddy Classic! Excellent condition, 61k miles documented (Box A) on clear Arizona title. Nicely restored, over $20,000 invested. Huge value to whoever gets it. Last year of the glass smooth, fuel-injected 4.5 litre V8. Car is a 3-spd automatic with overhead cam shaft and electronic ignition.
Mechanical:
Complete new fuel injection system, plenum & boot, warm-up regulator, swaybar links, and exhaust hangers

Car runs strong, drives and brakes straight
Exterior:
Recent body repaint in factory correct silver blue (before I got the car), very nice, no chips or scrapes,
Convertible hardtop just repainted in contrasting Mercedes Benz Capri Blue Metallic Pearl, makes the car stand out in the crowd
Brand new polished stainless fender trim all the way around

Original dark blue soft convertible top in great condition
All glass very good, one small repaired chip.
Wheels:
Brand new 14 x 6.5 Euromeister chromed alloy wheels, correct reproductions of the original alloy wheels. These German-made rims are engineered using water and air cooled low pressure casting equipment, then x-rayed to insure quality and strength, resulting in the strongest and lightest cast aluminum wheels on the market. Michelin radials have plenty of tread.

Near mint dark blue leatherette seats and pristine original wood console
Almost no wear on seats, dashpad, or door panels
Interior of hard top re-dyed to match seats and dash
Power windows, power antenna, AM/FM/cassette
All dash controls, gauges, signals, lights, and clock fully functional
Original floor and trunk carpets very good
Original tool kit, manuals and dealer documentation

NOTE: Photos with top down and soft top were taken before chromes wheels and stainless fender trim were installed.
This 450SL is a classy, attention-grabbing roadster.
