Overview of 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC For Sale by Owner

Lots of power, a lightweight chassis, and timeless style - that’s the magic of the Mercedes-Benz SL (Super Licht) tag. Starting with the legendary 300SL “Gullwing” and roadster, this 1974 450SLC Mercedes-Benz marked the third-generation of the iconic SL lineup. It was considerably expensive compared to its competition at the time, but the few who could afford a SL knew they were getting a superbly-built, designed and German engineered automobile, as well as one of the safest cars ever made in the ‘70s. A total of 237,000 SL’s were built but only 62,000 SLC’s were reportedly made making this 1974 Mercedes-Benz a rare car to own, especially in this condition. It was the SLC that Mercedes chose for their rally car, and surprisingly as a sumptuous personal coupe, it finished second of the 1979 WRC Drivers Championship in the hands of Hannu Mikkola. Carrying the legacy of the SLs, the current owner has taken good care of the car, reportedly keeping most of this Mercedes-Benz SLC to OEM condition, with a mere 52,000 miles clocked on the odometer.

Exterior and Interior

Just like its fresh out of the factory, this 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC comes with a tasteful blue exterior. You get round sealed beam headlights that were only unique to the North American market due to unique U.S regulations. The front and rear bumpers are the lengthier versions of the 450SLC by a dramatic 8 inches, also unique to the North American market. This SLC stands out from the rest, as one of the most iconic Mercedes-Benz features even used today on S-class models are the pillarless windows, followed by stylish rear quarter window slats. Inside the blue interior has been kept to tip top condition, as the cabin has been entirely replaced with OEM parts a couple of years ago as reported by the owner.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1974 450SLC is a 4.5-litre V8 German engine that is capable of producing 222 hp and 377 Nm of torque, mated to a 3-speed automatic that sends out power to the rear wheels only. Double wishbones, coil springs, and a stabilizing bar for the front suspension and diagonal swing axle, coil springs, and a stabilizing torsion bar for the rear suspension. An all new fuel system including the fuel pump, fuel lines and additionally the fan have been newly installed as reported by the current owner.
