Nice original 1977 Mercedes Benz 400 SL series Sport coupe. This is a 450 SL C, NOT a 380. It has lived in California all of its life since the early 1980s. * I have listed this nice stock 560 SLC coupe a modest $1 opening bid and NO RESERVE! Please note, the car is shown with plain stock steel rims and hubcaps; it has been upgraded to 17" Mercedes AMG type alloy wheels ( see additional photos).! This Mercedes Benz is listed locally and in other venues, and as such, I reserve the right to end this auction at anytime prior to 12 hours from the end of the listing, or if a serious offer or a BUY-IT-NOW offer presents itself. Please do not ask what I would take for it; if you have true interest in my SLC, you are most welcome to make a serious offer. (650) 430-4660 Very desirable 4.5L SOHC 8 cyl. engine. 121K original miles. These engines are nearly bulletproof, and last for an extraordinarily long time. It runs and drives well, with plenty of power as a 4.5L should ( unlike the anemic 3.8L engines). No noises, knocks or engine rattles. It runs an normal operating temperature ( right in the center of the gauge) at about 180 degrees, and maintains full oil pressure from the beginning. A very strong running powertrain overall. Brand-new battery. Replaced Alternator and starter 2 yrs ago. The automatic transmission shifts well into all forward and reverse gears. NO rearend noises or axle chatter. The body is remarkably straight, with no dents or accidents. Probably refinished once as it looks too good for a Mercedes nearly 35 years old, in its original steel-blue finish. Original dark-blue leather upholstery interior is clean, with average usage as expected. One worn spot of the outer bolster in lower backrest of the driver's seat from getting in and out. Rare factory MBZ LEATHER interior, not Tex-Tan. Power windows and factory A/C. Overall, a nice, rare original unrestored SLC, with the super 4.5L engine. It is being listed here with a modest opening bid and NO RESERVE. Please note that this 450 SLC is being offered for sale in various other venues as well as locally, thus we reserve the right the end the auction early should an offer or a BUY-IT-NOW present itself. If you have to ask for permission from a significant other, please DO NOT BID. If you are uncertain about your financial situation, DO NOT BID ( you shouldn't be buying a car at this time if that is the case). If you have ZERO or excessive negative feedback, DO NOT BID, as I will cancel your bid, and block you from further bidding. I do not wish to play games or waste your time; please do not do so with mine. Payment is to be received within THREE business days of the end of the auction, please. Method of payment can be money orders or cashiers checks. Personal, business or C.C advances may be utilized, but MUST clear funds prior to any transportation arrangements. Another alternative is a bank wire transfer to our local CHASE Bank branch in San Mateo. It expedites the process considerable and will allow us to make immediate transportation arrangements. Finally, PAYPAL is an option if previously arranged between buyer and seller, PRIOR to making a bid, and PRIOR to the end of the auction, not afterwards. Upon receipt of payment, I shall immediately mail you the signed-off CLEAR California title and a Bill of Sale. The Mercedes is currently registered on non-op status. I will be glad to assist you arranging or coordinating transportation/ delivery of this 450SLC to anywhere nationwide or overseas, at the most economical shipping rate available.
