1972 Mercedes 450SL Mileage-93,512 4.5L V8 The 450 SL is rare and collectible due to a longer wheelbase and different rear pillar than the 350. Car has chocolate brown paint with a tan hard top. The paint was recently refreshed. This car has a removable hard top and has tan leather interior. The 4.5L V8 gives this car ample power. 4 speed automatic transmission. Low mileage for the year at 93K. Just had the car tuned up and the master brake cyclinder replaced. Car will need some work on the A/C and has normal wear and tear for a car of this age. No major restoration has been done. Car not perfect but in pretty good shape for its age. 1972 Mercedes 450SL SpecificationsEngine Speed at 100 km/h: 2865 rpm 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h): Manual: 8.5 seconds (approx) Automatic: 9.3 seconds (approx) Maximum Speed: Manual: 133.5 mph (215 km/h) Automatic: 127 mph (205 km/h) Engine 8 Cylinder M 117: Capacity: 4520cc 275.8ci Type: Conventional, watercooled four stroke, reciprocating piston type with 8 cylinders in Vee configuration Configuration: Front mounted, longitudinal, inline Head: Pushrod and rocker actuated ohv, overhead camshaft Fuel System: Bosch electronic Bore and Stroke: 92mm x 85mm (3.62 x 3.35 inch) Power: 225 hp (DIN) @ 5000rpm (250hp SAE @ 5800) Torque: 38.5 mkg @ 3000rpm (278.5 ft/lb) Compression Ratio: 8.8:1 (USA: 8:1) Ignition and Electrical: 12 volt Coil and alternator Exhaust: Single tail-pipe Suspension: Independent front and rear, double wishbones, diagnol-pivot swing axle Steering: Recirculating ball, servo assisted, ratio: 15.9:1 (3.0 turns) Brakes: Front: Vented Disc, 278mm (10.9 inch) Rear: Solid Disc, 279mm (11.0 inch) Wheels: 14" Pressed steel disc wheels or optional alloy Tires: 205/70 VR 14 Chassis/Body: Unit frame and body Exterior Dimensions 450SL: Total Length: 4380mm Total Width: 1790mm Height at Kerb Weight: 1300mm Wheelbase: 2460mm Front Track: 1452mm Rear Track: 1440mm Kerb Weight: Roadster: 1585kg Fuel Tank: 90 liters Turning Circle: 10.2 metres Transmission (Automatic, 3 Speed): 1st: 2.31:1 2nd: 1.46:1 3rd: 1.00:1 Clutch: Single cushion disc, dry plate clutch Rear Axle Ratio: 3.46:1
