THIS RARE 1972 450 SLC WAS ADDED TO MY COLLECTION WITH RESTORATION IN MIND. IT IS A, ONE OWNER CAR, RE-TITLED ONLY ONCE THROUGH THE RE-ASSIGNMENT PROCESS BY THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM. THE ODOMETER STILL READS THE SAME AS IT WAS, WHEN HE ASSUMED OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE 108412 MILEAGE IS ORIGINAL, AND IT IS EXTREMELY LOW FOR A CAR OF THIS VINTAGE. THIS CAR IS COMPLETE WITH ONLY ONE TRIM MISSING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE LEFT QUARTER PANEL. THE TRIM IS AVAILABLE AND WILL GO WITH THE CAR. THIS CAR IS EXCELLENT FOR LIGHT RESTORATION, YOU CAN EVEN DRIVE IT AS IT IS, ONCE YOU GET IT RUNNING AND DRIVING, IT SHOWS VERY WELL, FOR A 43 YEAR OLD VINTAGE CAR. IT IS SOLID WITH ALL FLOOR PANELS INTACT AND NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF MAJOR RUSTT. WHATEVER RUST THERE MAY BE, ARE VERY MINIMAL FOR ITS AGE. THIS CAR DROVE UNTIL PARKED MANY YEARS AGO. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE CAR WAS NOT LEFT OUTSIDE IN THE ELEMENT AND IT IS STILL VERY INTACT AND THE ENGINE IS NOT FROZEN, ENGINE CRANKS VERY NICELY. MANUFACTURE DATA PLATE READS OCTOBER 1972, MAKING THIS CAR A FIRST PRODUCTION YEAR CAR AND VERY HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE. THE CAR IS TITLED AS A 1973 MODEL, SINCE IT WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER JUNE OF 1972. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH THE MORE DESIRABLE EURO BUMPERS, TYPICAL OF THE 1972/1973 SL CARS. PLEASE PARDON THE QUALITY OF MY PHOTOGRAPHY, THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN IN MY WAREHOUSE UNDER EXISTING LIGHT, WITH NOT ENOUGH LIGHT FROM THE FLASH. I AM STARTING THIS AUCTION AT $1000 WITH NO RESERVE. WINNING BIDDER AGREES TO DEPOSIT $300 AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS, BALANCE WILL BE DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS THEREAFTER. I WILL LIKE THE CAR TO BE PICKED UP WITHOUT DELAY, IF YOU MAY NEED EXTRA TIME TO ARRANGE PICKUP, PLEASE CONTACT ME TO ARRANGE. I AM ALSO AVAILABLE ON 201-709-9507. PLACE YOUR BID WITH CONFIDENCE.
