Exterior and Interior
Not much changed in design even though production lasted for 18 years, and it didn't have to; the car was stunning, and boy, it turned heads. Unlike typical sports cars, the SL450 was not a cheeky little toy that would zip around the city. No, the SL450 was still a Mercedes-Benz, and a Mercedes-Benz does not deviate when it comes to opulence. This fine 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SL stands in a beautiful Silver Metallic exterior with a removable color-matching hardtop and looks to have sustained its original condition. One need not expect disappointment when it comes to the interior of a Mercedes-Benz. Like this one, many 450SLs received a plush navy-blue leather exterior. From the way this one has held up, it is safe to say that the interior is made of pure, high-quality material, from the plush seats up front to the single bench in the rear, from the color-matching covers that sit over the dash, to the black plastics that are embedded within the leather, the 450SL feels designed.
Engine
In 1973, the North American models of the 350 SL were renamed the 450SL as they were bestowed with larger 4.5L V8 engines tuned to meet U.S. emission requirements. As a result, this 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SL can produce around 180hp and around 220lb-ft of torque.
The 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL represents one of the most iconic eras of Mercedes-Benz roadster design, combining timeless styling, V8 performance, and traditional German engineering. As part of the R107 SL generation, the 450 SL was designed as a luxury grand touring roadster, offering open-air driving enjoyment with the refinement and durability expected from Mercedes-Benz. Showing approximately 120,140 miles, this example is finished in the elegant combination of Light Ivory over a Palomino MB-Tex interior and features desirable equipment including a removable hardtop, dark brown folding soft top, alloy wheels, automatic climate control, and period-correct Becker audio. With its classic proportions, V8 power, and extensive comfort features, this 450 SL embodies the enduring appeal of Mercedes-Benz’s legendary SL lineup.
Introduced in 1971, the R107-generation Mercedes-Benz SL quickly earned a reputation as one of the finest grand touring roadsters of its era, blending timeless styling with exceptional build quality and everyday comfort. This 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL has traveled approximately 128,692 miles and presents as a classic open-top cruiser finished in elegant Manila Beige over a Bambus interior. Equipped with both a folding convertible soft top and a matching body-colored removable hard top, this SL is ready to be enjoyed year-round. Combining V8 power, effortless automatic transmission, and the unmistakable refinement Mercedes-Benz was known for during the 1970s, this 450 SL remains an icon for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL represents the beginning of the iconic R107 generation, a platform that would go on to define luxury roadsters for nearly two decades. Showing 27,315 miles, this example stands out with its striking Signal Red finish and classic Bamboo interior—an unmistakably period-correct combination. Known for its durability, smooth V8 power, and timeless styling, the 450 SL quickly became a symbol of success and refined motoring in the 1970s. With both a removable hardtop and a soft top, it offers year-round usability, making it as practical as it is collectible.
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.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
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. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
