1980 Mercedes Benz 450sl - 36,000 Original Miles, Fully Documented 2 Owner Car on 2040-cars
Year:1980
Mileage:36674
Location:
Santa Barbara, California, United States
|
Offered for sale is our beautiful, fully documented 36,000 original mile, two owner 1980 Mercedes 450SL finished in its original factory Classic
White over its original black leather interior. R107 bodied SLs were the car to
have in the 1970s and 1980s and with their incredibly high build quality and iconic
styling, it’s easy to understand why. It’s for those same reasons that they’ve
become appreciating classic decades later, probably the last regular production
Mercedes model to ever achieve collector car status. Finding well-maintained
original examples is becoming more and more difficult and this car represents
an excellent opportunity at acquiring a beautiful and exceptionally low mileage roadster with well documented service history, original books and
manuals, all of its original keys, a folder full of receipts, the original
first aid kit and the original tool kit. Having only had two doting owners,
it has always been garaged and exceptionally well maintained and was always used
as a weekend driver. The car presents impeccably in Classic White (Mercedes Paint Code DB 737), marred only by minor imperfections acquired during the car’s 32+ years of faithful service, each too insignificant to show up in any of the pictures. All of the panel fits are factory perfect, the glass and rubber are in excellent condition and the chrome is gorgeous. The aluminum wheels are flawless and wrapped in Michelin tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s original interior is like new. The black leather seats are impeccable, the dash and interior panels are excellent and the carpets show no wear whatsoever. The black canvas soft top is original and in great shape with a clear rear window and the hardtop is excellent as well, hardly ever used from new. The car has its original working Becker Europa II radio as well as working air conditioning. The car's two original owners have taken great pride in ownership over the past 34 years, and it shows. As we mentioned above, the original 450SL has always been well
maintained, which is immediately evident upon getting behind the wheel. Far
more reliable than the 380SL engine that followed, the torquey 4.5L V8 starts
without any smoke, idles consistently and pulls strongly and smoothly through
all of the gears. Whether tooling around town, cruising down Highway 1 or
bombing down the Autobahn at 120MPH, the car is a joy to drive – smooth,
comfortable and, above all else, possessing the tightness and rock-solid
stability that Mercedes was known for. The car comes with its original books
and manuals, all of the original keys, a folder full of receipts, the original
first aid kit and the original tool kit. If
you’ve been looking for a solid original, well documented, strong running, low
mileage R107 bodied SL, this car deserves your serious consideration. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further
discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us
at 805-202-4557. You can also visit us online at GoodmanReed. Goodman Reed Motorcars We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the
years have created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d
personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room
for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Mercedes (if the price is
right, of course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate
descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and
we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional
inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our
ability to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper
due diligence before bidding. For
U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the
auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end.
Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end.
Buyer is responsible for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with
recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the
right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end.
Thanks for your interest. |

Sunday Drive: Subaru Ascends up to the hottest market segment in America
Mon, Feb 19 2018Utility vehicles – in other words, crossovers and SUVs – are so hot right now. Two of our top stories from last week revolve around the utilitarian vehicle, but besides their jacked-up, five-door bodystyles, they couldn't be more different. The 2019 Subaru Ascent is headed into an extremely crowded and competitive segment, where it'll have to go up against industry stalwarts like the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot, not to mention upstart contenders like the Volkswagen Atlas. The Mercedes-AMG G63, on the other hand, has very little competition – there simply aren't very many ultra-luxurious, off-road-ready SUVs in the world vying to attract the dollars of the wellest-to-do customers across these United States. Moving on from crossovers and SUVs, our readers remain attracted to classic front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sportscars. The Toyota Supra's upcoming rebirth earns two places on our list of stories worth highlighting from the week that was; one with leaked information from a Japanese magazine, and another with rumors indicating that maybe we shouldn't be quite so excited. And finally, there's the strange case of the long-lost 2009 Chevy Corvette Z06 that one lucky individual happened to find squirreled away in a storage container with just 720 original miles. A high-horsepower head scratcher if we've ever seen one. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the latest automotive news that's fit to print. 2019 Subaru Ascent vs Honda Pilot vs Toyota Highlander: How they compare on paper 2019 Mercedes-AMG G63 set to bare its 577-horsepower heart in Geneva Toyota Supra leaks in Japanese magazine ahead of Geneva debut Toyota Supra to be little more than a rebodied BMW Z4?

2015 Malaysian F1 GP springs hot, humid surprises [spoilers]
Sun, Mar 29 2015In the two weeks since Australia both Mercedes and Ferrari spoke of the improved performance from their respective cars. In Malaysia, Ferrari showed it. Lewis Hamilton still put his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole position, but Sebastian Vettel got within two whiskers of the Brit, lining up second just 0.074 behind. Afterward, Vettel said Ferrari could win the race if everything went well. But in qualifying we didn't know how much of Ferrari's performance was truly down to the car and how much was down to the wet weather that struck near the beginning of Q2. The rain didn't hamper Nico Rosberg's run – the German said "I just didn't drive good enough" – and he took third spot in the second Mercedes-AMG Petronas. Showing what the Infiniti Red Bull Racing chassis can do when the power unit is working properly, teammates Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat grabbed fourth and fifth. Whippersnapper Max Verstappen, in his second race, qualified in sixth with an excellent drive through the rain; just 0.030 behind Kvyat, he said he could have got fifth if he hadn't had a running problem with his brakes. Williams head of vehicle performance Rob Smedley said he wouldn't complain about Mercedes' advantage, but Felipe Massa has spent the whole season so far banging the alarm about Ferrari's pace. He says Williams has lost its straight-line advantage, part of the reason the first Grove car is back in seventh, while Valtteri Bottas is in eighth. Between them was Romain Grosjean in the Lotus, but he got dropped two positions for a pit-lane infraction in Q2, so he'll be tenth. Ahead of him is Marcus Ericsson in the Sauber, who would lead the charge to turn in another surprise for the Swiss team. But the real surprise came from the Scuderia Ferrari, who, on a bright, sunny day proved that they don't need to add water for race-winning pace. While Hamilton got made usual awesome start at the lights, Vettel channeled that other famous German Ferrari driver and immediately cut across the track to intimidate Rosberg, maintaining his second place position into the first turn. Arguably the race-winning move came three laps later at that same turn, when Ericsson plunged in too fast and swapped ends, beaching the rear of his Sauber in the gravel trap. The safety car came out when the recovery truck emerged to retrieve the Sauber, and nearly all of the front-runners took to the pits to swap out of the medium tires. Vettel, however, didn't.
