Only 84,000 Original Miles on this Arizona 450SL! Here is a beautiful 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL Roadster. This is a three owner Mercedes which has lived its entire life here in dry and sunny Arizona. It was originally purchased on July 16th, 1975 at Phoenix Motor Company in Phoenix, AZ by original owner Robert Stark. It has remained the pride and joy of its last 3 owners, and now is being offered to a new caretaker. This car is fully documented with over $7,000 in recent service receipts, all of which document the low miles and exceptional service history. The car has been very well cared for whole life and has the receipts to prove it. Don't miss your chance to own a truly spectacular 450sl...Bid Now! The following is a list of options as this 450 SL is currently equipped: -4.5L V8 Engine -3 Speed Automatic Transmission -Posi-Traction Rear End -Power Windows -Power Door Locks -Power Antenna -Cruise Control -Fog Lamps -Ice Cold A/C and Heater -Canvas Convertible Top -Removable Hard Top -All Original Interior -Pioneer Am/Fm CD -New Mercedes 14" Chrome Wheels -Brand New Tires The body on the car is in very good condition and was extremely well maintained. The paint on the car is finished in it gorgeous original color of Code 606 Maple Yellow and is in very nice condition with a beautiful shine and luster. The car was repainted at some point in the past, which is to be expected on a 35 year old car. However the car shows no evidence of rust or accidents whatsoever. The car doesn't have a single ding and only shows a few chips (All Touched Up) here and there from use over the years. The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as any west coast car should be with absolutely ZERO RUST. The car is riding on new, original style Mercedes 14" chrome wheels with like new Kumho radials. All chrome trim, glass, and rubber seals are in great shape. The black soft top was replaced at some point in the past and looks good with no tares or holes. The hard top has good seals and the headliner is in awesome shape. The interior is also in very good shape all around and is 100% original as well. The door panels, seats and carpets are in very good condition. All dials and controls function as they should, power windows and antenna also are fully functional. The sound system is also very nice with the newer Pioneer CD radio. All lights, gauges switches, and accessories work as they should. The trunk is all complete with the original rubber mat, original Michelin spare, correct jack and a tool kit. Mechanically, this SL runs GREAT! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. The V8 engine is surprisingly quick and responsive. It is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily available. The car was always regularly serviced by Mercedes authorized dealers. The service book is stamped for all regular oil changes up to about 40k, and then was serviced at independent Mercedes service facilities. Less that 2 years ago a major service was done including new heads, head gaskets, fuel injector seals, and full tune up with new parts and cost the previous owner over $6,500! Also I just had the car in after purchasing it and had a full oil service done as well as cleaned the fuel system and made sure it was running tip top. The car will include 2 Keys, tool kit, original spare tire, top removal tools, maintenance books and owners manuals and service paperwork. All in all, this is one clean and original SL that I am privileged to be able to bring to market. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owners. This Mercedes is a fantastic car for the price and includes every option offered in this car in 1975. This is your chance to get an like new classic convertible for a fraction of the original cost. The car has a clean Arizona title stating ACTUAL MILES. Any further questions please call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.
