I DECIDED TO SELL MY BEAUTIFUL 1972 MERCEDES 350SL TWO DOOR SPORT ROADSTER DUE TO A BACK INJURY THAT DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO GET IN AND OUT AS EASILY AS I WOULD LIKE TO ANYMORE.THIS BEAUTIFUL MERCEDES IS IN TOP CONDITION BOTH COSMETICALLY AND MECHANICALLY.IT WAS ALWAYS HANDLED WITH TENDER LOVING CARE AND KEPT INSIDE ALL THE TIME.THIS IS A VERY RARE MODEL DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THIS BODY DESIGN AND 350SL NAME BADGE.I LOVE THE SMALL BUMPERS AND PAINTED HUBCAPS.I THINK IT GIVES IT A MORE CLASSIC LOOK FOR THE ERA.THE CAR IS ALL ORIGINAL RIGHT DOWN TO THE ORIGINAL WORKING GERMAN BECKER STEREO.THIS CAR DOES HAVE THE OPTIONAL ELECTRIC WINDOWS AND FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING.WHEN I WAS SEARCHING FOR MY 1972 MERCEDES THIS WAS THE ONLY ONE I FOUND THAT HAD BOTH ELECTRIC WINDOWS AND AIR CONDITIONING,SO I AM GUESSING MANY OF THE EARLY ONES DIDN'T HAVE THESE OPTIONS.IT DOES ALSO HAVE THE POWER DISC BRAKES AND POWER STEERING THAT BOTH OPERATE PROPERLY.THE CAR HAS TWO TOPS.THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS BLACK IN COLOR AND IN GREAT CONDITION.THE HARDTOP IS THE ORIGINAL ONE AND DOES MATCH THE REST OF THE CAR.I LOVE THIS ORIGINAL COLOR COMBINATION, AND WAS ONE OF THE REASONS I BOUGHT THIS CAR.IT IS THE DARK OLIVE GREEN EXTERIOR WITH THE TWO TONE DARK AND LIGHT GREEN INTERIOR,WHICH I WAS TOLD THE TWO TONE INTERIOR WAS ONLY OFFERED IN THE FIRST YEAR ISSUED.I THINK IT IS REALLY UNIQUE.THE INSIDE OF THE CAR IS EXTREMLY CLEAN AND ALL ORIGINAL.THERE ARE NO RIPS OR SUN DAMAGE ANYWHERE.THE ORIGINAL PALE GREEN DASH PAD IS CRACK FREE,WHICH IS AMAZING SINCE NOW THIS CAR IS 40 YEARS OLD.NICE CHROME BUMPERS THAT HAVE NO PITTING OR CORROSION.ORIGINAL RUBBER TRUNK MAT THAT IS NOT BROKEN AT ALL AND STILL VERY FLEXIBLE.THE BEST PART OF THE CAR IS IT HAS BEEN IN A VERY DRY CLIMATE WITH THE ADDED BENEFIT OF BEING STORED INSIDE ALL THE TIME.THIS EXCEPTIONAL CALIFORNIA NATIVE AND IS COMPLETELY RUST FREE AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF COLLISIONS.PAINT IS IN NEAR PERFECT SHAPE WITH NO DISCERNIBLE NICKS OR SCRATCHES.RUNS AND DRIVES VERY SECURELY AND HAS NO PROBLEM WITH FAST HIGHWAY TRAFFIC.CAR OPERATED IN A VERY HEALTHY MANNER.VERY LOW MILES FOR THE YEAR AND MODEL WITH JUST A LITTLE ABOVE 43K ACTUAL MILES.I HATE TO GET RID OF IT AND HOPE THE NEW OWNER WILL GET THE SAME ENJOYMENT AS I HAVE FOR THE TIME I HAVE OWNED IT.
