THE BODY AND TRIMThe exterior of this 450SLC is in VERY NICE overall condition! The paint is shinny and decent, with some isolated blemishes here and there. Body is really solid. The original chrome trim is very presentable.The Original Wire Wheels are in good shape and the tires are also in good shape. The louvered vent pieces have peeling paint. I would rate the exterior a solid 8.5 on a scale of 1-10. THE INTERIOR The interior of this classic Benz is in fair to good condition overall. The gauges including the speedometer, tach, oil pressure, temperature works as they should including the blinkers, lights, horn windows [all four] and sunroof. The radio does not power up and the hvac seems to be stuck blowing a little heat with a/c inop. The door panels and headliner are nice while the two front seats and top of rear seat need redoing. The dash has only 1 crack that i can see, other then that the dash seems to be solid. The carpets are in good shape. THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This classic Benz starts well with a good strong engine that seems to be running fine. I was told from the previous owner that the engine was rebuilt about 2,000 miles ago. There is a little smoking underneath from from some oil drips, car has been sitting for about 6 to 8 months so i'm sure it's going to need a little TLC. The transmission up and downshifts well.The suspension seems to be smooth and supple with no clunks, rattles or shakes, The brakes are in working condition, but will need to be looked at, front brakes have 50% left and the rear have about 10% left. This is a 34 year old car, it is not a show car, but it has a solid body, seems to be a good engine, will need interior work and brake work. will need some TLC, BUT IT HAS A LOT OF POTENTIAL.
