Overview of 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL Roadster For Sale by Owner

The Mercedes-Benz SL badge had a star-studded debut way back in 1954, on the gorgeous 300SL Gullwing, one of the German automaker’s most iconic models to date. SL Stands for ‘Super Leicht’, and denotes a highly luxurious grand tourer from Mercedes-Benz. Whilst the nameplate is currently on its seventh generation with the R232, the R107 of 1971 was arguably the longest-runner, with a production run of eighteen years. It was sold as a personal luxury car in North America. This 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Roadster belongs to the R107 generation and is a Virginia car with 74,568 miles on the clock. The current seller has owned the car for a few years and done some refurbishment work on it. One key is included with the sale.

Exterior and Interior

Gaze upon the gorgeous silver paintwork adorning this 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Roadster and it’s hard to not feel a Hollywood star vibe about it. These cars were much-loved by the Hollywood elite in their day, after all, and an R107 generation Mercedes-Benz SL cruising down Sunset Boulevard is as iconic as it gets. The soft top is reportedly in great shape, and the hard top is included in the sale as well, so you get the best of both worlds. All lights are reported to function too. The wheels are a departure from the regular Mercedes-Benz alloys, as these are wire wheels which surprisingly gel well with the car. Being a North American model car, you get the North American mandated longer bumpers and individual twin headlamps. The interior features a black color theme with wood trim, leather seating, original steering wheel, power windows, and heater, as well as cruise control. The stereo has been replaced with an aftermarket Kenwood unit, adding a CD player and AUX connectivity. A Kenwood amplifier can also be found in the trunk powering a quartet of speakers behind the two seats.

Engine

This 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Roadster packs a 4.5L V8 with Bosch mechanical fuel injection that helps it put out around 190hp and 240lb-ft to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic gearbox. The seller has reportedly replaced most of the wires, hoses, and wearable items around time of purchase.
