THE OVERVIEW Offered for an appreciating new owner is this rare classic 1979Mercedes Benz 450SL Roadster! Finished in Alpine white over black, this R107-chassis 450SL has been driven ABOUT 4,000 MILES PER YEAR [just over 153,300 total miles] since. We purchased this car from our elderly neighbor back in 2011 and need to upgrade to something a bit more practical for 2019.This99.99% rust-free specimen features an excellent running 4.5 liter V8 engine mated to the factory 4 speed automatic transmission with stopping power provided by four wheel disc brakes, electric windows, BOTH factory hard and soft tops, chromed wire wheels with excellent tires, updated stereo, wind screen, chrome fender trim and more. It is being sold with clear and clean California title, current registration and..........Offered here with a LOW reserve...this is a fabulous find, for about the cost of THE SALES TAX ALONE ON A NEW BENZ ROADSTER! THE BODY AND TRIM This exterior of this 1984 Mercedes is in VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT virtually 100% rust-free condition overall witha deep lustrous overall shine to the paint finish with a bit of corrosion on the wire wheel lip and only a few minor nicks, scratches and other light cosmetic blemishes. The canvas soft top looks to be original and in excellent condition aesthetically and functionally. Overall this is one still quite handsome well-preserved 40 year-old classic Benz Roadster! THE INTERIOR As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this non-smoker '79 Benz is in very good to excellent condition overall with odometer and all other gauges and controls in excellent working order, nice wood trim and door panels and updated CD stereo! Imperfections inside the car include broken driver side sun visor clip and some expected light wear on the interior bits. Overall this is still one very nice unmolested German cockpit! THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This 1979 SL starts easily with excellent running engine, smooth shifting transmission along with excellent braking and fairly tight and solid rattle-free suspension.This SL is still a vault-like stately sunny afternoon cruiser that gleans much attention from fellow motorists!
