Vehicle Detail
1979 Mercedes Benz 450SEL 55,650 actual miles. Milan Brown (Code 404) Bamboo Leather Interior One owner rust free California car. Loaded vehicle with long wheel base, power sunroof, bamboo leather. The vehicle spent its entire sheltered life in the beautiful climate of wine country of the Napa Valley in California. Garage kept and covered at all times, this is a 100% original survivor in museum quality condition. You simply will not find a nicer or cleaner example of a w116 sedan. The fastidious maintenance by its original owner coupled with the California climate makes for a vehicle that will be hard to duplicate. The all original Milan Brown exterior paint has a show quality shine and is well complimented by bright and clear chrome trim all around. Bamboo Leather interior shows beautifully with a gorgeous patina with absolutely with no rips, stains, or tears to disclose Zebrano wood accents have a beautiful mirror like finish. All dash and door panels are free of any cracks. The car runs and drives with great V8 power and is mated to a silky smooth automatic transmission. All power options function 100% and the Becker Stereo sounds great with working original power antenna. The engine bay and undercarriage tells the true story about the life of this vehicle !!! The undercarriage looks like it was never driven in the rain. You will be hard pressed to find a nicer W116. These automobiles are in my opinion one of the most well built and "vault like" sedans ever built by Mercedes Benz. The power of the cast iron block V8 motor, the smooth shifting transmission, the heavy vault like doors, and quiet and comfortable cabin is second to none. This is the vehicle that served as the benchmark for all other luxury cars from this era, Please take the time to view each photos of this fine example. Located in Central NJ 07753.
