Now here’s a classic car that’s perfectly representative of what the cream of the crop were driving around in the Seventies and Eighties. This 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is part of the R107 series of the popular SL-Class from Mercedes-Benz. Made between 1971 and 1989, the R107 became a firm favorite with those who could afford it and demanded signature Mercedes-Benz luxury in a two-door, grand-tourer body. It posed significant threats to models from established American luxury automakers as a result. Of the over 300,000 examples made, over two thirds came to North America! Yes, the R107 was immensely popular, which is why you should seriously check out this Jacksonville-based car. And if you need more convincing, it’s got a super low 28,507 miles on the clock!
Exterior and Interior
Dressed to impress in silver, this 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is shown in most photos wearing its removable, body-color hardtop. Yes, the car’s top is detachable, and you can take it off in fine weather. Then, you’ve got a convertible! This SL also features the North American-mandated elongated safety bumpers and sealed beam headlamps. It’s got a lovely set of classic Mercedes-Benz wheels with star-toting hubcaps too. The black interior of this 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL comes in the two-seat configuration. Most European market cars had a small rear seat, and Americans could also opt for it but few did. Most preferred to keep the car as a two-seater and enjoy the padded luggage space that came behind the seats. Not that the car’s trunk is wanting, but it’s always nice to not have to compromise on your baggage when taking a long trip across the country. Speaking of long cross-country trips, this car is pretty well-equipped for them, even today. It’s got air conditioning, power windows and the original Becker Mexico radio with cassette tape player. This radio alone is a prized piece for automotive enthusiasts who appreciate classic audio gear as well.

This 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL comes with a 4.5-liter V8 under the hood. Reportedly rated at around 180hp and 220lb-ft, the engine uses Bosch mechanical fuel injection. It drives the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel disc brakes and recirculating ball steering are also standard.
