Sport Leicht Auto Gallery is pleased to offer a 1978 450SL for sale! Color: Grey-Blue (DB-906G)Interior: Parchment (cream-beige) MB-TEXSoft Top: Navy BlueMiles: 101,600 originalBeautiful rare color combo you'll fall in love with on this 450SL - difficult to find an original elegant color with an interior that matches so well. The MB-TEX parchment interior shows no rips or tears and is in very presentable condition. Paint is largely original with some respray match done with good quality craftsmanship. Body panels appear to be straight and solid. There are no paint or rust bubbles anywhere. There is no rust on this vehicle including the undercarriage that's clean and dry. Lots of preventative and regular maintenance work has been done on the vehicle in last 5 years including timing chain, tensioner, rails, plugs, cap, rotor, AC, servo replacement and the list goes on. Service records available. Recently had the AC serviced and fully recharged. AC Conversion has already been changed to 134 and it really blows strong and ICE COLD, something you do not find often on 450's of this age. Motor runs strong and shifts smooth through all 3 gears. The previous 3 owners took care of the vehicle and it shows as it was garaged and covered. The original owner had it for the majority of time and passed it down to his daughter. In the later years it was sold to a close friend of the family. Dashboard is original and has a few small cracks showing. Car comes with a dashboard cover and kit to install. There is a newly installed Sony CD audio system with USB connection the previous owner purchased. The original Becker Radio that was removed also comes with the sale. The removable hard top is in nice condition including the interior lining, glass and exterior. Soft top is Navy Blue and was recently replaced according to previous owner and visual inspection. They did however damage the canvas and therefore a tear above the passenger head space is there. A perfectly good new top was slightly torn, unfortunate. It will likely leak in a rainstorm but dry weather will have no issue. Replacements tops are available from one of our vendors and can be priced out reasonably if so desired with full installation. The wheels are original MBZ factory 14 inch alloy non chrome in nice condition not showing scratches and curb rash. Dashboard lights and cluster all in working order as are the windows and all switches. We have all keys, books, manuals and a large file of service records on the car.
