Rare German Muscle Car - 1980 450SLC 5.0 V8 Mercedes Benz - 107026 EURO Only car- 166k milesThe Mercedes 450SLC 5.0 is a rare car only 1,636 of the 450SLC 5.0 model were ever produced this is number 1513. These cars were only released in Europe and with one purpose; to get homologated for rally racing in the WRC. I hate to let her go but it turns out I simply won’t have the time to restore her and I don't want her to sit and collect dust and rust.
