1979 mercedes-benz 450sl base convertible 2-door

Serviced ready to go. The Mercedes-Benz SL name has always signified a certain level of automotive style and sophistication, and each new generation seems both to define and be defined by its era. Styling was typically conservative and somewhat reminiscent of the pagoda top cars, and despite dimensions more or less the same, the SL appeared to be much larger.The fuel-injected V-8 featured an overhead cam and delivered 180 horsepower. It was paired with a three-speed automatic, with no manual transmission on offer. Suspension was fully independent and four-wheel disc braking was standard. In 1978, Mercedes introduced automatic climate control and 14-inch aluminum wheels as standard equipment. The 450SL model ended production with the 1980 model year, and its 380SL replacement would carry the torch into the 1980s. Before it was gone, however, the 450SL averaged about 6,000 units annually. When paired with their renowned reputation, they make for very comfortable top-down cruisers. This example has 88,615 miles and comes with hard and soft tops. Interior is in great shape. VERY solid car in a GREAT color combo.
