Rare 1977 Mercedes Benz 450slc Coupe! 65,700 Miles Blue Plate California Car! on 2040-cars

THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this rare classic 1977 Mercedes Benz 450SLC!
Finished in beautiful original color light silvery blue over navy, this blue license plate California car has been driven just 65,700 miles since new. The six-digit odometer works [and did when I acquired it]. This four passenger coupe version of the more available 450Sl sports the 4/5 liter V8 engine mated to a three spe3ed automatic transmission with four-wheel disc brakes, electric sunroof and windows, working factory fog lamps and more. This 450SLC is being sold with clear and clean California title ONLY to non-California buyer. This is a beautiful classic find for about the cost of the sales tax alone on a new SL350!

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this 450SLC is in VERY NICE overall condition! The paint is deep, lustrous and downright stunning with only a few isolated blemishes including a corroding spot under the front badge which needs to be reattached, along with two other little paint bubbling areas and a couple very small rock nicks and scrapes. The original chrome trim is very presentable, the wheel covers have some light fading, the tires are in fair condition and the louvered vent pieces have peeling paint. I would rate the exterior a solid 8.5 on a scale of 1-10.

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this classic Benz is in fair to good condition overall. All of the gauges including the odometer, speedometer, tach, oil pressure, temperature works as they should including the blinkers, lights, horn windows [all four] and sunroof. The radio does not power up and the hvac seems to be stuck blowing a little heat with a/c inop. The door panels and headliner are nice while the two front seats and top of rear seat need redoing. The dash has some heat cracking and the carpets are tattered on driver side.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic Benz starts well with a good strong engine that could use a tuneup. There is no smoking or dripping. The transmission up and downshifts well though reverse is sluggish, the suspension is smooth and supple with no clunks, rattles or shakes and the braking is smooth and true. Thirty seven years later this is a still a very nice solid driving motor car!
