WOW, THIS MERCEDES 450SL CONVERTIBLE IS A BEAUTY!! WHENEVER I TAKE THIS AROUND TOWN, HEADS TURN. EVERYONE IS CURIOUS WHAT YEAR IT IS AND HOW MANY MILES. IT HAS REALLY BEEN MAINTAINED WITH GREAT CONCERN. THE PREVIOUS OWNER BEFORE ME WAS A LOCAL SURGEON AND HAD IT FROM 1979 UNTIL SUMMER OF 2009 AND REALLY TOOK CARE OF THIS REMARKABLE CLASSIC. VERY LOW MILES AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE BODY AND INTERIOR ARE A 9.5 OUT OF 10. THERE ARE SOME VERY MINOR BLEMISHES BUT ALL IN ALL IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. THE ENGINE SOUNDS GREAT AND RUNS SMOOTH. THE TRANSMISSION WORKS LIKE IT JUST ROLLED OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE 30+ YEARS AGO. THE HARD TOP ALONE IS WORTH BIG $$$. IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE BLACK SOFT TOP WAS REPLACED A FEW SUMMERS AGO AND LOOKS BRAND NEW. ALL WRENCHES FOR OPERATING BOTH TOPS ARE PRESENT AS ARE (2) SETS OF KEYS (4 IN ALL) AND ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL. THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS SERVICED A FEW YEARS AGO AND BLOWS COLD. ALL BUTTONS/SWITCHES WORK ON THE VEHICLE INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL RADIO AND POWER ANTENNA. THERE IS A CHARGE BOX HOOKED UP TO THE BATTERY IN THE TRUNK TO KEEP THE JUICES FLOWING WHEN NOT IN USE FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME. THIS 450SL ONLY HAS 93,720 ORIGINAL MILES. THAT'S AN AVERAGE OF JUST 2,800 MILES PER YEAR!! I AM SELLING THIS AMAZING CONVERTIBLE BECAUSE ALTHOUGH I LOVE IT, IT IS TAKING UP VALUABLE REAL ESTATE IN MY 2 CAR GARAGE!! IT IS A CLEAR TITLE IN MY NAME ONLY AND TITLED IN KENTUCKY. IN THIS STATE, IT IS CONSIDERED A CLASSIC CAR AND I ONLY HAD TO PAY $6 IN STATE SALES TAX...YOUR STATE MAY ALSO CONSIDER IT AS SUCH.
