1976 MERCEDES 450SL TWO TOP ROADSTER - ENGLISH RED BEAUTY WITH PALOMINO INTERIOR AT NO RESERVE! WE ARE CERTAINLY PLEASED TO PRESENT FOR YOUR KIND CONSIDERATION A SUPERB ORIGINAL EXAMPLE OF THE ICONIC TWO TOP CONVERTIBLE PRODUCED BY MERCEDES BENZ FROM 1972 THROUGH 1989 AND KNOWN AS THE 107 BODY. THIS PARTICULAR EDITION IS FINISHED IN SUPER RARE COLOR OF ENGLISH RED, WHICH IS ALMOST AN ORANGE. THE COSMETICS ARE AMAZINGLY PRISTINE AND THE PERFORMANCE IS AS SMOOTH, RELIABLE AND QUIET AS YOU COULD IMAGINE. MILES SHOW AS 115,XXX WHICH WE ARE COMFORTABLE AS BEING CORRECT. THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO 15 INCH MERCEDES CENTRA STYLE, AS WERE FITTED TO SUBSEQUENT 107 MODELS FOR A MORE COMMANDING VIEW OF THE ROAD AND SMOOTHER RIDE. NEW PREMIUM RADIALS WERE INSTALLED LAST WEEK. UPON OBTAINING THE CAR WE NOTICED A SLIGHT CLUNK WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP WHICH EVENTUATED TO BE A DRIVE LINE CENTER SUPPORT BEARING, WHICH WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS TRANSMISSION MOUNTS WHICH WERE WORN AND SOON IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THE PIONEER AM/FM/CD DETACHABLE FACE STEREO IS ABOUT THE ONLY OTHER NON-ORIGINAL ITEM ON THE CAR. IT PLAYS FINE. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS ALSO REFURBISHED TO ADDRESS SAGGING HANGERS AND PINHOLE LEAKS. THE CAR IS NOW EXCEEDINGLY QUIET. SOFT TOP IS THE ORIGINAL HAARTZ CANVAS IN CHOCOLATE BROWN BUT DOES HAVE TWO SEPARATIONS, THE WORST OF WHICH IS DEPICTED. COST TO REMOVE AND SEW IS ONLY SLIGHTLY LESS THAN SIMPLY HAVING NEW TOP DONE. PRIVATE PARTY CALIFORNIA TITLE IS PROVIDED WITH CALIFORNIA PLATES GOOD UNTIL JULY 2012 IF NEEDED BY A CALIFORNIA BUYER. AUCTION IS NO RESERVE WITH A STARTING BID FOR FRACTION OF VALUE AND A VERY REALISTIC BUY IT NOW OPPORTUNITY AS WELL. THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER MAY ANTICIPATE OUR COOPERATION WITH DELIVERY TO SHIPPING AGENT INCLUDING PORT IN LOS ANGELES, IF NEEDED. COMPLIMENTARY SHORT TERM STORAGE AVAILABLE AS WELL. PLEASE CHECK OUR FEEDBACK AS SELLERS FOR ASSURANCE AS TO AUTHENTICITY AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. MANY YEARS OF HAPPY MOTORING TO THE FORTUNATE NEW OWNER.
