Here is a super rare fully equipped first run example of a USA issued 350SL with only 49,355 documented miles by the first 2 owners! . According to a classic Mercedes expert,this car came factory equipped with power steering,power windows,power assist locks,factory air conditioning,4 wheel disc brakes,and standard 4.5 litre fuel injected V-8 engine.It is also one of a very few cars to have a red color code .It is 568.This represents Signal Red and black soft top.It has the cute hubcaps that are red centered.The car was originally ordered by a navy captain late in 1971.He had the car in San Diego California shortly after he bought it , it was always stored inside..The second owner also kept this dry body beauty garaged in his home in Hemet California,where it remained in his garage until may 2011 .It had only been driven a few hundred miles since 1995 at that point. We got it and immediately serviced the fluids,gas tank,brand new battery,brakes,and got it ready for regular use. the amazing paint is showing with glamorous beauty ,as it should. All the edges and internal areas are nice and clean.The original black interior shows totally well and is very well preserved in every way.The original seats are nice and firm and the panels and visors are straight and flat.The carpet is also the original.The real black canvas soft top shows as new with no wear,no dryness at all. This car drives well as one would expect a low miler to do.Amazing that it still looks so great. This is a unique opportunity to own a very rare surviving 350SL convertible .Still time for fun in the sun with this pretty little car!
