This 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is said to have remained registered in Arizona until the seller’s purchase in 2013, and they have since added approximately 5k of the 85k miles shown. It is powered by a 4.5-liter V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Classic White over Red leather upholstery. Equipment includes a black soft top, a removable hardtop, 14″ wire-spoke wheels, fog lights, a Becker AM/FM/cassette stereo, electric windows, and automatic climate control. This R107 is offered with a clean Wisconsin title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Classic White and features a color-matched removable hardtop and a black convertible soft top. Additional exterior equipment includes fog lights, a power antenna, and chrome-accented bumpers and trim. The rear soft top window is foggy, and close-up photographs of the exterior finish and trim are shown in the gallery below.
The 14″ wire-spoke wheels are mounted with Kelly Navigator tires. The car was factory-equipped with power steering and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.
The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in red leather along with a matching center console and door panels. A carpeted cover sits atop the dashboard, and interior equipment includes a Becker cassette stereo, electric windows, 450SL-branded floor mats, and air conditioning, the latter of which is said to require an annual recharge.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 85k miles, approximately 5k of which were added under current ownership.
The 4.5-liter V8 features Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and was factory rated at 180 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.
