Vehicle Detail
I am offering this gorgeous black 1979 Mercedes 450 SL convertible. The car has been kept in the garage for many years and was with the same family since 1981before I purchased the car. The car was just recently serviced and is in great running and driving condition. The car only has 47,566 (extremely low miles for a vintage SL).The car was always from dry California until I brought here to Florida a little less than 2 years ago. The car still has the original silver alloy wheels. This is definitely a low mile survivor that has been kept in gorgeous condition. The black paint is in good condition. The doors, trunk, and hood all close perfectly. The body is factory straight and has no sun damage anywhere. The black paint is definitely a crowd pleaser and gets attention everywhere you go. Driving this car down the street is such a pleasure. The car came standard with the fuel injected V-8 motor (very reliable and trouble free).The car runs and drives like a dream. The car came with a lot of luxury features like factory air conditioning, cruise control and power windows. I have updated the air conditioning to today’s refrigerant systems. It came standard with power steering and power disc brakes. The car also has both the hardtop and soft-top. I have a hardtop carrier that is also included. This makes it great for any type of weather. The soft-top is in good condition with nice clear back windows. The hardtop is in excellent shape. The tires are fairly new. The original leather interior is spotless. The original bamboo text leather seats are unmarked and unblemished and the seat pads are still firm and non saggy. The carpets are beautiful and correct. The trunk, spare tire holder, and battery tray area are in perfect original shape with no holes or rust. The car is in amazing condition both cosmetically and mechanically. No work is needed to drive this car to your nearest show or special event. This 32 year old gem is becoming hard to come across. This is the collectible one and would make a great addition to anyone who wants a fantastic low mile Mercedes convertible that will always be a timeless classic. We would love to see this go to a good new home. I think it would make a great addition to a fine collection or just someone who wants a very nice old and reliable SL to show off in. Low Reserve! Please email me with any questions. The car is located in West Palm Beach, FL and is available for inspection and test drive. The car is listed locally, so I do reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. **All Sales are Final**
