Overview of 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350SL For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL is finished in red and carries the clean, understated lines that made the early R107 such a recognizable grand tourer. Chrome trim, chrome side mirrors, 14-inch Bundt-style alloy wheels, and the classic upright grille give the car a distinctly period-correct appearance. It is equipped with both a removable hardtop and a convertible soft top, allowing the car to shift between coupe-like cruising and open-air motoring. The interior of this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL is finished in Parchment and features the simple, functional layout associated with early R107 models. Equipment includes power windows, power steering, air conditioning, a center console, and an analog clock, while a Sony aftermarket cassette stereo adds a period-style audio upgrade. The combination of light upholstery, broad dashboard design, and extensive brightwork gives the cabin the unmistakable feel of a 1970s Mercedes-Benz grand tourer.

Engine

Under the hood, this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL is powered by a 4.5L naturally aspirated V8 equipped with Bosch D-Jetronic electronic fuel injection. The engine is paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission and sends power to the rear wheels. The 350 SL badge is noteworthy because early U.S.-market examples could retain 350 SL identification despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz standardized the 450 SL name for the American market. That combination gives this car an interesting place in the early development of the U.S.-spec R107 lineup.}

The 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II Hardtop is the kind of Mopar that gets enthusiasts interested before the hood is even opened. Its clean B-body lines, pillarless hardtop profile, Soft Yellow paint, black vinyl roof, and Magnum 500-style wheels give it the restrained factory muscle look of the mid-1960s, but this example carries much more serious hardware underneath. Showing approximately 91,610 miles, it is powered by a 440ci big-block V8 backed by a TorqueFlite 727 automatic, giving it the kind of drivetrain combination that feels right at home in a classic Plymouth. Add power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, and a dual exhaust system, and this Belvedere blends old-school Mopar attitude with enough comfort to make it more than just a weekend bruiser.

The 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS is one of those unmistakable late-G-body cars that wears its era proudly, with squared-off styling, bold graphics, and the kind of rear-wheel-drive V8 layout that made these cars favorites with muscle-car enthusiasts long after production ended. Showing approximately 95,342 miles, this black-over-gray example keeps the classic SS look intact while taking the performance side much further with a 383ci V8 and a collection of supporting upgrades. Red SS graphics, the aerodynamic front fascia, rear spoiler, and 15-inch SS wheels preserve the factory attitude, while the modified drivetrain gives the car a much stronger hot-rod personality than a stock Monte Carlo SS.
