1974 Mercedes Benz 450 SL German Spec vehicle, not USA ALL THE WRITING IS IN DUTCH. AND IN Km/h THIS IS MY GOOD FRIENDS CAR IM TRYING TO SELL. HE IS RETIRED AND JUST WANTS IT OUT OF HIS GARAGE. SO ITS GOING TO SELL ALL THE WAY TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, NO MATTER WHAT IT BRINGS. ITS BEEN ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT. NEVER DRIVIN DURING WINTER. THE OWNER HAS HAD IT SINCE 2008, AND BEFORE THAT HE BOUGHT IT FROM HIS GOOD FRIEND WHO HAS OWNED IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. ITS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. NO ROD KNOCKS OR SMOKING. NO OIL LEAKS AT ALL. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTH, AND ENGINE PURS LIKE A KITTEN. ENGINE IS VERY STRONG. WHEN SELECTING GEAR FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THERE IS A SMALL KICK (MECHANIC SAYS ITS NORMAL DUE TO TORQUE) THE SUSPENSION AND BRAKES ALL OPERATE GREAT. NO KNOCKING WHILE DRIVING. THE CONVERTABLE TOP WORKS PERFECT; THE MECHANICAL LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WORK GREAT. NEW RAG TOP RE-DONE LAST YEAR. THE BODY HAS SOME SURFACE RUST IN SMALL AREAS. THIS CAR IS SOUGHT AFTER BECAUSE OF ITS GERMAN SPECS AS WELL AS LOW MILES, A GOOD STRAIGHT BODY WITH NO ACCIDENTS AND RUST, AND MECHANICALLY SOUND. ALL THIS CAR NEEDS IS A NICE HOME THAT CAN GIVE IT A NICE PAINT JOB AND SOME MINOR INTERIOR REPAIRS TO RESTORE IT AND YOU GOT YOURSELF A $20,000 CAR.
