Family-owned since new, this Mercedes-Benz 450SL carries the distinguished presence of German engineering excellence in its Blue Green Metallic finish. The angular yet refined body lines give a decidedly luxurious appearance while maintaining sporting proportions that define the SL legacy. This grand tourer offers the best of both worlds with its removable hardtop in matching Blue Green Metallic and folding black canvas soft top. The chrome accents on the bumpers and trim provide elegant contrast against the metallic paint. Rolling on 14" factory wheels wrapped in Hankook 205/70R14 tires, this 450SL maintains its authentic road presence with just the right stance.
The Palomino leather interior presents a rich cabin environment that's both driver-focused and tastefully appointed. Recently redone seats and center armrest show exceptional care, creating a comfortable driving position that supports spirited driving or relaxed cruising. Wood grain trim on the center console displays remarkable preservation, maintaining its original luster without the typical cracking seen in many examples. The ergonomic layout places all controls within easy reach, while the clear gauge faces provide critical information at a glance. This Mercedes-Benz includes both air conditioning and an AM/FM cassette stereo for long-distance comfort.
A 4.5 Liter V8 engine lies at the center of this German masterpiece, providing ample power through a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission. The fuel-injected V8 offers the reliable performance that made these cars legendary for their durability and longevity. Four-wheel power disc brakes bring everything to a controlled stop when needed. The suspension system employs coil springs, shocks, and a sway bar up front, with coils and shocks in the rear for balanced handling. This 450SL has undergone a modern Freon conversion for the air conditioning system, along with maintenance updates to key components such as plug wires and the distributor cap.
