1978 450SL black convertible with hard top 140685 miles






Up for sale is a 1978 Mercedes Benz 450SL convertible with hard top.

*please note this car runs well and will drive BUT it needs the front radiator support replaced. The car was in a Collision that damaged everything above the bumper. The frame was not damaged and I did not replace any bumper parts. I replaced the finders, hood, radiator, electric fan, and started to replace the radiator support. I had a replacement but somebody I used to call a friend needed it and said he would replace it… He never did and now the car is up for grabs. I also installed a new water pump, fuel filter, and fuel pump. I have the regular radiator fan and the air conditioning condenser. They are included in the sale but not installed.

The car has the electric fan installed so it can drive a bit until the car heats up then the fan automatically turns on. I have left the car running parked for a bit with the electric fan on but I only left it on for 5 or 10 minutes checking the car out.

This is a California car and it is perfect for someone who wants to start with a good solid car for restoration or parts. Small bubbles of rust by the rear right tail light. Rear trunk has cracking paint and the whole car needs a good paint job. The AC is disconnected and does not work. It is currently registered as a California non op vehicle so no back fees will be due if you are a California buyer. The car is being sold as is and I will not be responsible for smog. If you are a California buyer you will need to acknowledge that in writing. The car was well cared for before the accident.  The transmission and torque converter were replaced 24500 miles ago. I have a stack of other receipts as well.

Please ask any questions before bidding. I would prefer to sell it to someone local that has the time to come look at the car and check it out.

Buyer is responsible for shipping or moving the car.

Please do not bid unless you are serious, I need the money and thats why I am sell now.

Thanks

Good luck bidding
