Description.... Please call Matt directly at 513-708-1468 with any questions about this car.Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this beautiful 1976 Mercedes Benz 450SL in excellent condition with only 89,475 original miles. The car looks spectacular, runs great, and is a wonderful driver. This is a two-owner car. It was sold new in Cincinnati, OH to the original owner. He kept the car until June of 1985 when he sold it to his insurance agent who loving cared for the car until this year when we purchased it due to his health reasons. The market on the R107 Mercedes SL is absolutely red hot right now and this example is priced to sell. Low mileage and original examples of the R107 Mercedes SL are exceptionally difficult to find and draw a huge premium in the current market. 89,000 miles is low for a Mercedes of this era as they were built like tanks and when properly maintained can run for hundreds of thousands of miles. The low original mileage is also verified not only by the condition of the car, but also by the clear Ohio title that shows the mileage as "Actual." This 450SL comes with both the soft-top and auxiliary hardtop. It also comes with the original books, data sheet, manuals, and a wealth of original documentation that is picoted in this ad. This is an excellent opportunity to own a classic Mercedes that is ready to be used and enjoyed at an unbeatable value. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come. This Mercedes is finished in the absolutely beautiful and highly desirable color combination of Astal Silver Metallic (735) over Light Tan Leather (204) interior with a Black (740) soft-top. Please peruse all of the photos, video, option codes, and other information in this ad to get a true sense of clean and nice this 450SL really is. As a side note, this Mercedes is not a dealer auction vehicle. We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our classics come from owners who expect their cars to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the 450SL, just give us a call. ExteriorThe Astral Silver exterior is in fantastic condition. As one can see in the photos, the paint has a brilliant gloss, deep shine, and smooth finish. Both doors open and shut nicely; it has that solid Mercedes touch and feels like a vault door closing. The car exhibits very nice body panel fit overall. The chrome and other bright-work look very nice. The original alloy wheels are in great shape with no curb rash. The Michelin tires have plenty of tread left and are correctly sized 205/65R15. There are no major imperfections that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. There is one small spot on the hardtop visible in the photos and some other tiny blemishes around that are too faint so show up in the photos, but nothing that is really noticeable from about five feet away. This car was always stored indoor and has no rust issues. As one can see in the many photos of the underside, this 560SL is very clean underneath. We have included specific photos of the rockers, lower front and rear quarter panels, and other areas on the car most prone to rust to show how nice it looks. InteriorThe Light Tan interior of the 450SL looks absolutely fantastic. The seats look almost brand new and are in excellent condition with no tears, rips, or excessive wear. The seat is not overly worn at all in the typical area on the bolster where the driver gets in and out. All of the gauges faces are crisp and the lenses are clear. The carpet is also in excellent condition with no holes, rips, or stains. The door panels look wonderful and both door pulls are solid and in tact. The Black convertible soft-top is in great condition. The rear windows are not yellowed or foggy. The dash is not faded, but does have some cracks. The original Blaupunkt radio works, most importantly the dash has never been cut or modified for an aftermarket installation. This car has never been smoked in; there is no aroma of cigarettes what so ever and no burn marks. The trunk is very clean and nicely detailed with the correct full size spare tire, matching alloy rim, jack, and tool kit. The excellent condition of this interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention this Mercedes has received throughout its life and another great verification of the low original mileage. MechanicalThis 450SL appears to be in good mechanical condition and it is ready to be enjoyed. The engine idles well and runs great. It is a nice driver that feels great on the road and at highway speeds. In the video one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to a stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note that it runs great, there are no strange noises, and the car performs quite nice overall. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. There is no blue smoke when starting or driving the car. It runs cool and does not overheat. The gauge shows that the engine makes great oil pressure. Also, the engine bay is clean, nicely detailed, and correct as one can see from the photos. Please note in the video the dash warning lights working properly; they light up when the key is first turned on and then go off when the engine is started as they should. There are no "check engine" lights that stay on. The horn works as do the fog lights, headlights, brights, turn signals, interior lights, power windows, power antenna, power locks, indicators, wipers, and blower. The a/c itself works and blows cold. All of the gauges work with the obvious exception of the clock. This Mercedes is smooth and quick with the 4.5 liter V8 engine. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the top down on a beautiful day. Overall ConditionOverall, this 1976 450SL is in excellent condition and is a true bargain at our asking price. The market on for the R107 body style SL Mercedes is very strong right now, particularly for low mileage and original examples like this car. This Mercedes is a great value and will only appreciate over time. Someone could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort. Other sellers are not taking the time to show the car is in such great detail to give you all of the option codes, photos, and video. This information is very valuable and important for pricing.
