Description of 1974 Mercedes-Benz 400-Series 450sl

1974 Mercedes-Benz 450 sl convertible. Purchased this car from original owner. the car has always been garaged kept. The odometer shows 272000 miles. The owner was in his eighties and didnt think the odometer was correct. It really looks good for the the age and its hard to believe the mileage but in Virginia you have to go by the odometer. This car is a daily driver and runs well. It was repainted over 10 years ago and the paint is good but not as shiny as it could be. The interior is leather and shows some cracking but no tears. The dash is cracked in a couple of places. The drivers rear quarter is showing some repair from an altercation with a garage door frame and I have found a very small spot of rust above the rear bumper on the passenger side. The top has not been up in 20 years but the son of the owner told me it needed some work. Mechanically the car is a driver. The heater blower motor and electric antennae are the only things that dont appear to be working. I havent tried the AC but I am assuming it doesnt work since it hasnt been changed over. I am not an expert on German cars but This is a very solid survivor. Successful bidder can make 10 percent down payment through Paypal. The remainder will need to be paid in cash before car can be picked up. Car needs to be picked up within 10 days of end of auction. If you would like to look at car or need more info let me know.
