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. |

Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.
Brabus rockets the Mercedes S65 to 900 horsepower
Wed, Mar 4 2015Some people you just can't please. They take a look at a vehicle with 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque on tap – one of the most powerful cars money can buy – and say that's still not enough. Fortunately there are companies like Brabus that cater to just such individuals. The Mercedes tuner extraordinaire brought the Rocket 900 to the Geneva Motor Show this year. It's based on the S65 AMG – yeah, the one with the twin-turbo V12 – but takes it a step or ten further. For starters, Brabus has bored the engine out to 6.3 liters and hooked up new turbochargers, exhaust, intake and more – cranking output up to 887 hp and a mind-bending 1,106 lb-ft of torque. Of course it didn't stop there, revising everything from the limited slip differential and air suspension to aero kit and interior. The result? Try 0-62 in 3.7 seconds, a 217-mile-per-hour top speed and a price tag approaching $400,000.

Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX
Mon, Feb 2 2015Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.
