Attention all serious Mercedes enthusiats! This is one of the finest original triple black 1979 Mercedes 450 SL in showroom condition.The car was bought brand new in Southern California and owned by a very fussy owner who intended to keep this car in collector status condition.My family bought it from his estate in the early 80's and continued to keep this car in "untouched original"condition.The car has never been restored and is in pristine condition.Everything is factory original right down to the original Tuxedo black paint.This is for a true collector who wants the best!The car only has 27,842 actual original miles.I have all books and records from brand new.The car is completely rust free and never had any patch or body panel replacements.All numbers match including the original serial plate.The color code for the car is #040,which is Mercedes black.Triple black is definitely the favorite amongst collectors and really shows off the beautful body and lines that 450 SLs were well known for.The original black paint is flawless.There are virtually no marks or blemishes anywhere.The car was never in any bad weather conditions and away from most sunlight,so the paint is very lustrous and brilliant.As you know,many newer cars a couple years old don't have original paint.This is a 31 year old car that not only has original paint but is immacualte untouched condition.The matching black text interior in impeccable.It looks like it just came off the showroom floor from 1979.The seats are perfect with no wear.The original dashpad has no cracks.The console wood is also crack free.The original carpets were well protected and have no stains or discolorations.The original trunk has rarely been used and is virtually unused.It still has the original spare and tool kit.The black German softtop is in brand new condition.The hardtop was stored for many years and has no wear at all.All the small pieces inside and out are in perfect shape.Nice original Mercedes alloy wheels with brank new tires.The car runs and drives perfectly down the road.The car still has the matching 4.5 litre V-8 fuel injected engine and transmission,which both are super smooth with no leaks.All components operate well on the car.Can be driven long distance or just for special events.If you ever wanted a 450 SL back when it was new and just couldn't afford one,here is your second chance!This would make a great collector car for someone who wants something in museum quality condition.You can find some restored 450 SLs out there,but very few that are totally original and in top notch condition.This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of the finest 450 SL roadsters that is absolutely breathtaking.I am offering this at NO RESERVE,so the highest bidder will win.
