Everyone knows about the Mercedes-Benz R107-era SL-Class that is one of the most definitive classics you can get your hands on. But did you know that there was also a C107 variant, with a fixed hardtop and a notably different upper body design? That’s what we’ve got here with this sleek white 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC from Beverly Hills, California. This car sports a lovely four-seat tan interior, a 4.5-liter V8 under its hood, and has covered a decent 165,000 miles. That tells us that it’s not a garage queen, but a cruiser, meant for devouring hundreds of miles of open road.
Exterior and Interior
This 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC wears a sleek white coat, and if you look below its beltline, the shape is very similar to the R107 SL. But there are some notable differences which become apparent if you park a C107 next to a R107. For example, the C107’s wheelbase is approximately 15 inches longer, and the car as a whole is around 16 inches longer. That means it’s more spacious on the inside, without looking ungainly from the outside. In fact, the C107’s longer stance enables it to have a longer roof, rear windows and even some stylish chrome slats ahead of the C-pillar. Dual headlamps and classic Merc wheels cap off this car’s exterior package. The tan interior of this 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC is a full four-seat affair with rich leather upholstery and fine wood trim on the dashboard and center console. Unlike the shorter SL, which either offered two tiny seats or a padded luggage area behind the front seats, the SLC has a proper rear bench seat. This example comes with air conditioning, cruise control, and power windows. It also has a newer Kenwood radio with Bluetooth and USB inputs.
Engine
This 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC packs a 4.5-liter V8 under its long hood. The unit uses Bosch Jetronic fuel injection and is reportedly rated for around 190 horsepower. It drives the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission. The car has recirculating ball steering and four-wheel disc brakes with power assistance.
