1976 Mercedes 450 SEL 4.5l V8Cool classic!! Low reserve!!This Classic Mercedes is a chance for you to own a restorable Classic at a fraction of the cost of a fully restored or original condition vehicle. It is a running vehicle with good bones ready for someone to take it to the next level or simply enjoy it as is. This was my project car that I was slowly working on but we have purchase a large older home and need to focus on its renovation so my other projects must go. I have done a lot of work to get the car running decently starting with fixing intake leaks by replacing the intake seals as well as the injector seals. professionally cleaned the injectors and replaced various hoses etc. I also replaced the Warm up regulator with a rebuilt unit. I also replaced the fuel pump and Fuel accumulator to cure the hard start problems it had when I got it. Always Starts up now. It also had the leaky exhaust pipes replaced and new catalytic converters installed. I replace the two front tires and the rear tires have maybe 30% tread left and will need replaced soon. The brakes are strong, steering is tight. The exterior is in good condition for its age. The paint job was done by the previous owner and is OK certainly not show worthy but looks pretty good. The interior is in decent shape. Seats were recovered by previous owner, headliner is intact and the sunroof works. Here are issues I know aboutCarpet is a bit thin and some of the vinyl is cracked here and there including dash. Passenger front window regulator is off track goes down but does not like to come up.Heater servo is non functionalVacuum locks do not workAntenna motor non functional A few areas of rust - drivers side jack point, rear passenger wheel well (see pics) all areas are repairable and the underbody, floor pans, etc are in good shape. Like I said this is a great starting point for someone to build a really nice car for a low reserve - Look around Ebay and see what these are going for. this item is listed locally as well and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells. Please ask any questions and Good Luck!
