1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 - VIN 116 036 12 003329 - 148,059 KM European Model Good older repainted to original color Silver. Very few paint chips. Rustfree westcoast car. Interior is black leather, and appears to be original and in good condition. This is an Euro model with the high-power engine. You thought the US models are fast – try a Euro model and you will never want a US model again. This car is an excellent driver, - no trailer queen. Only Euro models can claim the throne as the "Fastest European Sedan" in 1978. It has 289 horsepower, 39 more than the US version. Too bad we don't have the Autobahn!! Everything is working as of placement of ad. I only say this because on a car that is 39 years old things break, but lately everything has been working for quite a while now. I love this car and drive it all the time. I am loosing garage space, so some toys need to go. Suspension works and stays up. A/C is ice-cold. New stainless steel exhaust. New tune-up. Has Nology HotWires and Silver spark plugs (makes the car run superb). Recent oil change. New hood pad. Over the years, someone changed the bumpers from US style back to Euro style. Also note the Euro head lights. I love the look! Speedo shows 149,000 KM (93,000 miles). It appears the car was imported to the USA in 1985 and had one owner until I bought it. If you don't drive these cars, they break. They love to be driven and they must be driven. This car gets driven all the time and the car loves it! Things wrong: Left headlight has a stone chip (filled in now). Near drivers left foot, side carpet worn. One bubble on roof near sun roof. Will consider interesting trades, – cars, motorcycles, gold and silver coins.
