1978 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

Clear

Real euro car imported and federalized years ago. Limited production homologation special. Ferrari's GTO's are millions, this car is Mercedes Benz's Gran Turismo Omologato. This grand touring car was built to homologate the lightweight coupe to rally racing. Beautiful light green, parchment interior with wool houndstooth inserts. Aluminum hood and decklid for light weight. Aluminum V8 installed while road cars used a smaller cast unit. The car has the personality of a racer, it will make you smile. It runs and drives great, the only work needed is possibly a new steering damper. The car comes with the original 14 inch Bundts, we have installed 16 in Mercedes wheels with the appropriate size tire to keep the speedo accuracte, 255/55. The sixteen inch wheels allow for the purchase of high speed rated tires the car needs, we cant find 14 inch high speed tires. The Pirellis on the Bundts are speed rated, but very old. The car was sold from an estate after a very long term owner, then to a local collector before me. I am only selling to buy a verylow mileage version of the same car for a very high price. Will ship worldwide no reserve On Oct-04-15 at 19:05:12 PDT, seller added the following information: The top of the rear seat is damaged from a previous owner, and the drivers seat bolster has damage. Mileage is 104766. The car as pictured is on 16 inch wheels, the original 14s are included also. Weve seen one rust bubble under the paint on one front fender, ill post a pic.
