This beautiful 36-year old Mercedes 450SL Convertible Roadster scores 7 to 7.5 out of 10! Second owner car. The original owner, not to be disclosed, maintained this car meticulously from its original point of sale, September 23, 1977, at Colonial Imports in Glendale, CA. Maintenance records from Beverly Hills, LTD, Beverly Hills, CA and then from L & M Motors, Los Angeles, CA are in maintenance book. This car has been garaged, and not driven, for the past 8 years. The car is in overall very nice shape, but needs to be buffed out as it has minor oxidation. There is evidence of minor paint repair on the right front fender and a very small dent in the rear bumper. The car is not perfect, but very nice and all original. There is a small crack in drivers seat (see photo), but otherwise the interior is immaculate. There is a very small leak on the differential cover, but no other leaks have been noted or seen. Car will start for a short period of time, but fuel pump is weak. Everything works well and car was driven frequently prior to being garaged. It has a new battery and oil change, but would recommend cleaning the fuel system and a new fuel pump. The tires have approximately 80% tread, but show dry rot and cracking so should be replaced for safety. This car has spent its entire life in dry southern California until January 2013 when it was delivered to our garage in southern Oregon. We were told that the top has never been removed and does not appear to have been, so we imagine that the convertible top is in like new condition, but have not verified. As you can see, the original car cover has two holes, one on the drivers mirror and one on top. For sale locally for $14,500/OBO. NADA shows low retail of $10,500; average retail $19,400 and high retail $27,600. As you can see, this car is in extremely nice condition, between average and high retail, and is priced to sell.
