Today, the car is a well sought-after collectors' item, with this one reportedly 1 of just 430 made. This Euro Spec Mercedes is also offered with its original certificate, original owner's manual, along with a hardtop and hardtop stand.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior styling of the 1973 Mercedes Benz 350SL was typical of the era, with a long hood and short rear deck, giving the car a sleek and sporty look. The car had a distinctive, angular grille that displayed a large Mercedes Benz emblem in the center. The 350SL had a low, wide stance with a long wheelbase and a sloping roofline that added to its sporty profile. This example sits in a classic red exterior paint complemented by chrome accents, a perfect mix between sporty and luxury. The car also has reportedly has a new set of shocks and brakes, a new thermostat, water pump, fuel pump, and fuel lines installed. The interior of the 1973 Mercedes Benz 350SL really captured the luxurious and comfortable side of the German automaker with a classic and timeless design. The car had a spacious cabin that could comfortably seat two passengers, with supportive bucket seats upholstered in high-quality tan leather. The dashboard was simple and elegant, with a clean layout and easy-to-read gauges and controls. The car featured power windows, power locks, and a modern air conditioning system which the current owner reports has been overhauled on this car.

Engine

The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350SL was equipped with an M116 3.5-liter V8 engine with Bosch Jetronic fuel injection, producing around 200 horsepower and 211 lb-ft of torque. This specific car features a 4-speed automatic transmission and had a top speed of around 130 mph (210 km/h) when new. We don't think you should try test it out; instead, enjoy its smooth cruising abilities.

The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.

This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior.
