This 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is finished in Light Ivory over tan leather, and it shows 75k miles. Power comes from a 4.5-liter V8 linked with a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a dark soft top, a removable hardtop, 14″ Bundt alloy wheels, fog lights, electric windows, a CD stereo with a USB port, and air conditioning. This R107 is now offered by the selling dealer at no reserve with a clean Delaware title.
Finished at the factory in Light Ivory, the car was repainted during previous ownership, and it features a color-coordinated removable hardtop in addition to a dark convertible soft top. Fog lights and a power antenna are additional elements.
Silver-finished 14″ Bundt alloy wheels are mounted with 205/70 Hankook Kinergy ST tires. The car was equipped at the factory with power steering and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.
The bucket seats are upholstered in tan leather, and the cabin has air conditioning, power windows, and a Blaupunkt CD stereo linked with rear speakers.
A 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 mechanical odometer shows 75k miles.
The 4.5-liter V8 features Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and was factory rated at 180 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was completed in preparation for the sale.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.
