SEND ME AN OFFER... You are looking at a beautiful 1977 Mercedes Benz 450SL. This car has been well taken care of during its lifetime. Currently only has 159,650 miles on it. This Mercedes is a beautiful example of the class that these cars have carried along with them over the years. This is an example of a highly sought after color and the prettiest color on any old European automobile, especially on two door convertibles. Body: The body on this car is solid. The panels are straight down both sides with no evidence of ever have being in a major accident of any kind. The paint on her is driver quality; it shows well but does have some small scratches and flaws in it. I would say it could be wet sanded and buffed to bring out a brilliant shine if the new owner is looking for a nice driver. The trunk pan and floor pans are very solid and clean. The car is equipped with a beautiful metallic blue hardtop, which does not leak and is very solid. The soft top is brand new. All of the exterior lighting lenses are in great shape. The chrome is in great drivers quality with only minor tarnishing but no pits. All of the exterior glass is in great shape, no cracks and no chips. The infamous Mercedes Benz grill still looks amazing. Mechanical: This Mercedes is a clear cut example of the build quality of Mercedes V8 motors. It is very strong and fires up with the turn of the key. It runs very smoothly with no shakes, rattles or noises. The transmission shifts very smoothly through the gears with no slipping or lag. No mechanical issue that I am aware of on this Mercedes. The tires are in great shape with plenty of tread left for some wonderful drives. Under the hood is very sanitary and clean with some of the original stickers and markings still showing. Interior: The interior on this Mercedes is absolutely beautiful! It is very bright and brilliant and adds so much luster to the look of the car. The dash is absolutely gorgeous with the beautiful but there is a crack in it. All of the gauges are in working order and light up brilliantly during nighttime driving. The seats were just refinished, so no rips or tears in them. The carpet is in great shape as well is the headliner. The original owners manual and nameplate are included in the glove box as well as both of the tools needed to remove to hardtop. The interior of the trunk is in good shape and still has all of the spare tire and jack parts in the correct location. One of the door map pockets is missing but other than that and the crack on the dash the interior is pretty good and AC does work! This is a beautiful car that I regretfully have to sell. I need the room in my garage now. It has always run good, although I have not driven it in several months. I have only put around 3000 miles on it in the last five years. This is a beautiful car that is perfect for daily driver for its new owner or would be a very nice neighborhood car that you could take on a nice trip with confidence and style.
