No Reserve 1975 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL 6.9 This was the most luxurious Mercedes of the 70s and 80s. The engine and suspension were based on the famous Mercedes 600 Limousine of the 60s. The engine has 6.9 liters or 417 cubic inches. It has a dry sump engine and has four overhead camshafts as well as fuel injection. The suspension is hydraulic, which automatically adjusts the ride height to compensate for loads in the car. It is known as a superb suspension for both smooth ride and excellent cornering. This car was the top model in the line of Mercedes. It is the long wheelbase sedan and has every option available at the time. With the 6.9 engine it is an amazing performer. Only about 3,500 were produced worldwide. Only 1,816 were imported to the United States, so this is a very special Mercedes indeed. Supercar, a real rocket on the road. It looks just like a “normal” 450 SEL – until you try to follow one through a corner or on the straight road at speed. The special 6.9's where all manufactured on their own exclusive assembly line as opposed to the standard 450SEL's.
