Vehicle Description
This 1978 Mercedes Benz 450 SL is a true find. The current owner
bought the car from an older lady that lost her husband. He kept it
in a climate controlled garage. They had money. The 107's had a
recall years ago that the fix was to weld steel to the front
subframe. The previous owner paid to have the new upgrade style
subframe installed. The current owner found this out when he a
restoration shop replace the steering shaft assembly the car
because the steering wheel had play in it. That cost him $2000. He
has had the car in his collection for 5 or 6 years. He bought it
with 64,000 miles and it now has 66,341. It is a truely spectacular
car and as original as they get. All the way down to the 'bag phone
antenna' on the right rear quarter. If you look very closely at the
hood from straight above, you can see the original paint checking a
little bit. It is very hard to see. The wire wheels have Benz
emblems but the current owner is not sure if they are original.
They are in ok shape. The current owner has the original hard top
for the car. Please Note The Following **Vehicle Location is at our
