1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Up for your consideration is a sparkling, freshly restored, rust free, accident free, clear title California SL class from a client's private collection. It is the only restored example on the market. With less than 20 miles since completion, it is still in break in stage. Tens of thousands have been spent getting this in pristine condition. Doors close like a safe, runs spot on, and lots of power. It has doubled in value over the last 18 months and is predicted to do so for the next several years. It's ready to show or be stored while the value increases. This is a rare investment opportunity. A snapshot of the extensive six-month restoration includes (but of course not limited to):· New MB ivory paint- body was fully disassembled. All embellishments were polished/reconditioned before reassembly· New bamboo interior- fully removed and replaced/reconditioned· New chocolate top· New glass· New weather seals for trunk, doors, and top· Rebuilt engine- cost alone far exceeds most SL’s currently listed on Ebay· List of freshly replaced engine bay parts too long to list· Transmission service· New brakes with line flush· New fuel pump and various fuel lines· All new shocks and new rear coil springs· New R134 A/C system including compressor, dryer, expansion valve· New climate control servo and amplifier· All fluids are Mercedes-Benz specified and/or Mobil 1.· New Alpine stereo with smart phone compatibility (original can be sourced and installed)· New Alpine speakers installed in OEM location.
