THIS IS A NO RESERVE LISTING.
This is my 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SL roadster convertible in great condition. This is a totally reliable, dependable vintage Mercedes that you can use and enjoy exactly the way it is. I'd trust this car to drive anywhere.
This car was owned by an older couple, and it has always been garaged, and has not been exposed to salt or snow.
This car has the following equipment and options:
- 4.5L fuel-injected V8 engine
- automatic transmission
- removable hard top with heated rear window
- folding cloth soft top
- factory air conditioning
- power windows
- cruise control
- power locks
- leather seats (not vinyl)
- Blaupunkt radio
This car also comes with the full set of books and manuals, three keys, extra floormats, a tool kit, etc.
This car runs and drives beautifully. The V8 engine is powerful, making this a truly FAST car- it will surprise you how powerful the acceleration is! The transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, etc are working well and the car has no known mechanical problems. There are no noted fluid leaks, nor any warning lights illuminated, and all the gauges work properly.
This is the kind of classic car that you can enjoy just the way it is. The car doesn't need to be rebuilt, restored, nor is it any kind of project car- this car is ready to use and enjoy.
These cars were built with motors and transmissions designed for the big luxury sedans that weighed 1000 pounds more than this convertible. Consequently, in addition to having great acceleration, these cars are also amazingly durable and long-lasting. I have seen these SL models with over 300,000 miles that were still running and driving perfectly. This car was built in the era of "bulletproof" Mercedes-Benz cars, and as the most expensive car in the lineup, it is also among the most durable cars ever built by any manufacturer.
This is a great "driver" SL- this is not a garage queen in showroom condition, but rather a clean and well-kept example that you can drive without worries. You won't be afraid to park it at the grocery store- rather you'll think of any excuse to take this car for a drive anywhere. This car is BLAST to drive!
The interior is original, and in very good condition. The seats are genuine leather hides, not vinyl as is more commonly found. The leather is in very respectable condition for being 38 years old- it looks nice. The carpets are very good and the plastics and upholstery are very good. The seat stuffing material is made of horsehair on these cars, and it tends to deteriorate over time. The seats have a little less stuffing in them than they originally did, but they are still comfortable. Included with the car is a set of genuine sheepskin fitted seat covers that are superbly comfortable, as well as being cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.
The removable hard top is body color with glass windows. The folding soft top is in excellent condition- it was replaced a few years back and has seen no significant wear since then.
The paint and body look good for the age. This car looks straight, clean and solid. The paint is of good quality and it shines nicely and the exterior of the car looks clean and quite presentable. This car looks great for a 38-year old unrestored classic car. The chrome and plastic trim are in good condition as well.
The undercarriage is clean and nice and the trunk is solid, clean and excellent. The floors are totally solid.
The tires are older but hold air perfectly and have good tread.
This car is 38 years old and as such it is not brand new. Please expect normal issues of wear and tear and imperfections consistent with the age of the car. Here is a list of known defects and imperfections- there are minor and typical nicks, chips, and small imperfections here and there in the body and paint. There is a crack in the windshield on the far passenger side. The tires are older, and could also stand to be balanced. The car has just a few tiny spots of bubbling and extremely minor rust- the worst part of the entire car is two spots on the driver's door about an inch long and 1/8" wide of rust behind the door molding. I have included a photo of this- this is the worst part of the whole car- otherwise the car is totally solid, clean and I'd say 98% rust free. As mentioned, the seats have minor normal wear for the age.
This is a clean, dependable and beautiful looking classic Mercedes roadster.
You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. Alternatively, you can have the car shipped- please call Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481 for a shipping quote.

Recharge Wrap-up: Cool new Euro VI railroader Unimog, Car2go hearts charity
Wed, Aug 6 2014Mercedes-Benz's mega-cool road-railer Unimog now boasts Euro VI compliance. Used for railroad track maintenance and train shunting work, this diesel-powered Unimog offers about a 90-percent improvement in particulate emissions over the Euro V. The new engine also offers improved efficiency. It provides 231 horsepower, and with eight forward and eight reverse gears, it can travel up to 31 miles per hour in either direction. It also has new in-cabin features that make it easier to use for the driver. Read more about the new road-railer Unimog in the press release below. Carsharing group Car2go has launched a donation feature within its mobile app, called "ride2provide." The feature lets users find "heart cars," which, when used, include a $1 donation to Whole Planet Foundation. The money raised by the ride2provide program goes towards the Whole Planet Foundation's mission of providing microcredit to the poor for creating or expanding home-based businesses. Car2go's ride2provide program started August 4, and runs for 90 days. Learn more in the press release below. China continues to pave the way for more EVs, but some people are still skeptical they'll catch on. Charging station operators will be forgiven some of their electricity fees until 2020, said the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). China has already extended tax exemptions on EVs through 2017. The NDRC is also urging local governments to offer subsidies and free charging. Still, the costs involved with installing chargers are keeping many from doing it, and many consumers are hesitant to become early adopters of EVs.

Mercedes was set to sell version of Nissan Titan, now Infiniti might instead
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz Titan. Mercedes-Benz Frontier. Mercedes-Benz pickup truck. None of these things roll off the tongue particularly well. We'd like to think that's the reason Daimler opted to kill the idea of rebadged Titan and Frontier pickups from corporate ally Nissan. In reality, the execution before the Frankfurt Motor Show was due to more complicated issues.
Yes, Mercedes, byword for German luxury, style and quality, would have slapped a three-pointed star on a pair of Japanese pickup trucks that have failed to resonate with consumers in the world's largest truck market. That slapping of badges isn't much of an exaggeration, at least on the outside. According to the report from Road & Track, the truck's front clip would have been tweaked, but beyond that, the sheetmetal would have been unchanged. The interior would have received a more thorough going-over by the team at Mercedes, while the suspension and noise, vibration and harshness tuning would have also received significant attention.
The trucks would have ended up being sold through the light-commercial branch of Mercedes-Benz - the same folks that will happily sell you a Sprinter van - had the deal gone through. Issues arose, though, first with the engines. Mercedes wanted a wider range of powertrains to allow it to tune models for specific markets, while Nissan said it couldn't engineer the wide variety of engines that MB wanted to drop under the hood. For the smaller truck, meanwhile, MB was interested in a hybrid or plug-in variant, according to R&T, although this was also shot down by Nissan.
Experience the New York Auto Show by drone
Fri, Apr 10 2015The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.
