Mercedes Benz 450SLC 1979 - (2) owners (CA), prior to me in which I bought the car about 1 year ago, kept garaged and put less than 100 miles on this car. The below information was supplied by the previous owner in California.
172,470 original miles, complete value job done with timing chain and all timing component replaced.
Always garaged and serviced at Maurice Mercedes service in Costa Mesa CA.
This classic coupe is so elegant with the terracota factory color and the beige leather interior, that always recieve compliments while driving in a Sunday brunch. This is the same model that Onasis gave to Jackie back on the 70's. This is a classic European VB sport coupe that will increase in value with the years.
Mechanically is superb, it runs so strong, fast and smooth at the same time that is a pleasure to drive it. The transmission shift just perfect, no slipping, no knock, no noise. Perfect.
The interior is in very clean condition. The seats are leather, both front seats show wear due to the age of the car, both seats have a tear on the top part of the seat (see photo's) that can be restitched. The headliner, the door panels, the rear seats and back tray are in great shape. The dashboard has a cover in the same beige color tone. The wood trim all around is nice, there is a very little piece missing next to the ignition tumbler, almost not noticeable. The carpets and floor mats are in good shape. All the gauges work, the radio works, the radio antenna works, the AC work, the heather works, the dome lights works, the door locks work, both front seats move back and forward freely. The horn works.
The exterior is almost in excellent condition except for 2 very minor scratches on the panels, one paint bubble next to the grill and very little spot around the radio antenna were the clear coat is peeling off. All the chromes are perfect, they are shining as the first day.
The tires are like new, they still have 90% left thread. All the brakes, belts, water hoes and breather hoses have been checked.
The car comes with a spare tire, floor jack, and original tools.

Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.
Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris
Thu, 11 Apr 2013It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.
Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
