Mercedes-Benz R107 (SL) These fine automobiles were produced from 1971 through 1989, being the second longest single series ever produced by the Mercedes, after the G-Class SUV. The SL was a 2-seat convertible/roadster with a soft-top and hardtop both as standard equipment. The R107 took the chassis components of the mid size Mercedes-Benz W114 model and mated them to the larger engines from the premium luxury S-Class cars. All US models from 1976 to 1979 came with the 4.5 liter engine featuring Bosch fuel injection, and were called the 450SL. The SL class of Mercedes-Benz automobiles continue today, and these are excellent touring and GT roadsters with an excellent pedigree of racing and road cars. These beautifully classic cars feature timeless Mercedes-Benz styling and impeccable build quality. True classics, the R107 cars will continue to appreciate while allowing their owners the opportunity to drive and enjoy their investment. Our 450SLThis 1977 Model is a beautiful overall car. It is mostly original with only a few small dings and blemishes, and a couple of minor rust bubbles (no serious rust that I could see). Low mileage, this 450SL will provide for many more years of enjoyable driving. The odometer is currently stuck at 87k miles, but it has had about two thousand additional miles put on since then. Looks as though at some point the car was repainted the original red. Overall, the exterior I would rate as 6 or 7 out of 10- or in other words, like a driver/weekend car as opposed to a show museum quality machine. Mechanically, the car drives really well. It has a very smooth ride, handles well, and is extremely comfortable. The brakes are strong with great feel, and no odd pulls to the left or right. Upon starting the car sometimes takes a little while to fire, but always starts. Could probably use a tune up, but we are enjoying driving it as it is. Once started, the car drives really well, having good power and a smooth shifting transmission. It cruises strong at 70-80 MPH- very steady and reassuring. The interior of the car is in remarkable shape for its age. One wear spot on the driver’s bolster is my only complaint. The seats are otherwise in great shape, gauges work nicely and also light up nicely at night (with exception of the odometer problem mentioned). All lights and blinkers work. An aftermarket CD player with iPod connection has been installed. The only other “interior” issue is that the heater/AC blower is not currently blowing. I have not looked into it at all since we enjoy driving the car and don’t use the heat or AC. I have driven the car in 85 degrees and with the window down it is plenty cool, and also driven the car at 35 degrees with the windows up and heat switch on, and the air flow through the open vents is sufficient to warm the car quite nicely. However, I’m sure it would be an easy fix and may even be a fuse. Overall, the car is in good shape, especially for being over 30 years old! This is a great classic car, complete with original hard top and beautifully nice soft top. With very little work someone could turn this into a show car, or drive it now as is and thoroughly enjoy this gorgeous Mercedes-Benz. It is truly a pleasure to drive, and I know you’ll enjoy it! NotesDue to the nature of business these days, especially online, please keep the following in mind:Besides any issues I mention in the ad, please keep in mind this is an old car, and though it has been well taken care of and is in good shape, it is 33 years old and my description is as honest as can be but with all things subject to relativity. If you went through the car with a magnifying glass and fine toothed comb you could find faults for sure- as you can with any car, and so the car is sold “as-is” and pre- purchase inspections can help take some guesswork out of any car purchase so I encourage them. I am no mechanic, I just know I drive it around and enjoy myself thoroughly and I am sure you will too!
