Awesome & Original 1 9 7 3 Mercedes Benz4 5 0 S L49,130 Original Miles BOTH TOPS!!- Silver Hard Top. Navy Blue Cloth Soft Top (Excellent Condition)This rare 1973 450 SL not only has extremely low original miles. But, also shows the obvious care that has been given this wonderful car, from day ONE! It is in absolutely AWESOME CONDITION !!!! This second year of the W107 Body is the last of those with the SLIM Bumpers. After this, they really looked bad with the 5 mph bumpers. We all know that the previous generation model has gone price crazy. These cars would be very collectible and will only increase with age– these were only imported here, with the slim bumpers, for two years. Very Scarce--Excellent Investment Potential !!!Condition: The body and undercarriage is totally straight and true, no rust, good gaps– Solid as can be !!!! The mechanicals are excellent- this car has just been completely inspected and serviced- Engine, Transmission, Steering, Braking– all in excellent working order- sounds awesome, runs awesome, drives awesome. The Interior— Just look at those pics, the original leather doesn’t even show any signs of wear, everything looks and feels showroom new. The Tops- The Soft Top is in excellent condition- see pics. The Hard Top– has a small blemish on the front lip- see pic, it’s very linear at the front edge so it’s not very apparent. Tires- New , have 1,000 miles on them.Totally Original (except for wheels and tires) Unmatched Build Quality A Dependable, Hassle-Free and Comfortable CLASSIC! GREAT Color combo.Current N A D A Values from "average retail" of $ 14,900 to a "High Retail" of $ 21,000. I personally believe that this one should certainly be near the high end. I do have this car For Sale locally. So, I do reserve the right to end this auction early if sold before auction end.Please see the You Tube Video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85bxHOg4KRkOn Aug-05-11 at 09:29:57 PDT, seller added the following information: I Just wanted to Add- that although I have this car in Illinois, I bought the car in Texas and it's history has been entirely in the southewest. Of course, it has been always garage kept and NEVER seen our terrible winter salty roads.On Aug-09-11 at 18:58:02 PDT, seller added the following information: Reserve Reduced!!!!!!!!!!
