1980 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

V8

Clear

Immaculate garaged 450SL - No Rust - no reserve This car has been driven approximately 3,000 miles per year. It has 103,000 original miles. This car has had 2 owners. The 1st owner had it garaged in Manhattan. 2nd owner had it garaged in CT. We had planned to repaint the car in the original 172G - Glasurit anthracite gray, however enthusiasts will not let us do this so this car has the original paint and original interior. The car has been powder coated from the dealer so the body and frame are fine. There are 2 items we would replace: Exhaust. We wanted to leave this up to the buyer to put a stainless steel T304 system in, to last a lifetime. The exhaust does show rust and eventually will need replacing, albeit has no leaks currently. The A/C unit also doesn't blow cold enough for our liking. There is a common Climate Control Servo upgrade that owners perform for this car because Mercedes decided to use GM parts for the climate control. The interior is showroom quality. New items: Brand new soft top $400 Brand new front / rear bumper $1,500 Brand new fuel system $750 Brand new brakes / rotors $500 Brand new front windshield $250 Replaced weather stripping on drivers / passenger doors. + others (too many to list as they are minor) we just had it detailed for $200 Like new interior. The interior is near showroom quality. Like new hard top with support stand. The headliner is like new. Car cover $100 Original shop manuals $300 Original manual The paint on this car is rare. This is a ghost color 172G that Mercedes stopped making and is the last year of the 450SL. The interior still has the original leather smell. This car is 34 years old.. There are some minor dings on the body and some other signs of wear from a car this old however this will be one of the nicest Mercedes you will find. Original Becker stereo fully working. Original Mercedes cup holders. Car runs and drives very smooth. Tires have 90% tread remaining. We just did a $3,000 vehicle inspection / parts replacement 172G - Glasurit paint code which is the anthracite dark gray metallic with clear coat
