Vehicle Detail
Here is an absolutely stunning original 1973 450 SL classic roadster that was kept in pristine condition throughout its entire life span.The car was lovely maintained and kept garaged at all times.The car was carefully protected from any outdoor sunlight damage,so the beautiful paint and immaculate original interior were kept well preserved.1973 was the first year Mercedes offered the 450 SL name badge.Completely redesigned body style in 1972,which was called the 350 SL and kept this body design through 1989.This is the collector preferred model with baby chrome bumpers and cute matching hubcaps.It has the fuel injected cast iron V-8 with all the Mercedes luxury power goodies.The car will be sold to the highest bidder(NO RESERVE),so don't miss this great opportunity to own one of the finest and nicely maintained older Mercedes convertible that runs extremely well on any road,fast or slow.The car only has 26,756 documented miles from original and was bought brand new in Encino,California,so there is no rust or patches anywhere.The yellow color of this car is super rare and really creates attention wherever you go.The color is so brilliant inside or outside and is such a show stopper.The color was only offered by Mercedes from 1972-1979.The color is called "Yellow" and coded #624.The body and paint are in superb condition.Never been in any accidents and have all correct serial numbers attached to the car.The beautiful paint is totally lustrous and straight as an arrow.It has no sun damage with no apparent dings or scratches.Always garaged,so all trim,bumpers,and rubber are all in great shape.The car attracts attention down the highway all the time.Because the car is 37 years old,it is getting extremely hard to find a very nice 450 SL that not only runs and drives well,but is cosmetically excellent throughout.The car is ready to go and be enjoyed.The black leather interior is in showroom condition.The interior is totally untouched and kept in a vacuum.The mint black leather seats were always protected with covers,so there is no typical sun wear or seat damage.The original dark gray and black mixture carpets are in unbelievable condition with no wear.The original dahboard has no cracks.You won't find a nicer original untouched interior of this vintage.The car has the original Becker radio(working).The dark brown canvas softtop is in superb condition.The hard top is also included and in beautiful condition.The engine and transmission are in wonderful shape and operate as they are meant to from new.The car drives down the road like a brand new car from 1973 and has absolutely no exhaust,oil,or any type of fluid leaks or unusual noises.Engine,trunk,door jambs,and inner areas are super clean and it shows!I can't emphasis how nicely this car drives the road.The really low miles and extremely nice 450 SL status makes this a very collectible and desirable car for any fussy collector or someone who would like to show it off in their private showroom.The car was fully serviced and is ready to be driven anywhere you want to go.If you want the best,don't miss out once in a lifetime opportunity.Great luck bidding on this very nice convertible claasic.
