Overview of 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible For Sale by Owner

The pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz ownership during the '70s and '80s, the R107 and C107 series of the SL-Class marked the top step of the Star’s hierarchy of luxury cars. These two-door roadsters were available in two-seat form for North America and four-seat form for Europe. Produced between 1971 and 1989, the R107 received plenty of updates during its life, helping keep it fresh and desirable. Anybody who was somebody — and could afford one — drove one. Now, the R107 is a well-respected classic, and one that’s still in significant demand. So, we’ve got a 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible with a reported 51,000 original miles that you really shouldn’t miss out on if an R107 is on your radar. The current owner says that the car’s received a recent oil change, too.

Exterior and Interior

Wearing a lovely shade of Caramel, this 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL exudes class from the moment you set eyes on it. The design is so breathtaking that even the North American-mandated elongated bumpers and sealed-beam headlamps do little to diminish its allure, unlike what they do for so many other beautiful cars. This car remains an item of head-turning capabilities, regardless of whether you’ve fitted its removable hardtop or left it at home for that iconic convertible experience. The original Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels also remain, and they themselves are a timeless design. The interior of this 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL offers two seats in light brown leather, plus a padded luggage area directly behind to augment the car’s trunk. The vehicle reportedly includes factory air conditioning as well. You’ve also got an aftermarket Sony radio with a CD player, just waiting for your choice of smooth cruising tunes. Meanwhile, there’s a set of carpet floor mats with black Mercedes-Benz script on them to help keep the factory carpeting in excellent condition.

Engine

Propelling this 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL along its merry way is a 4.5L naturally aspirated V8, with 180hp and 220lb-ft, as per factory figures. An automatic gearbox powers the rear wheels for the ultimate cruising experience with minimal fuss and fatigue. The car features front and rear disc brakes for sure-footed stopping power. A recirculating ball power steering system is also present, making maneuvering and parking as easy as possible.

The Mercedes-Benz 250GD Wolf comes from a very different branch of G-Wagen history than the luxury-focused models most enthusiasts know today. Built for military use, the Wolf prioritized simplicity, durability, and off-road capability, and this 1992 example preserves that utilitarian character while incorporating a number of thoughtfully executed upgrades. Showing approximately 45,122 miles, it is finished in Mercedes-Benz OEM Desert Sand paint with a matte clear coat over a Black interior with Desert Sand piping. Its specification includes a 2-door military-convertible body, dual-range transfer case, independently locking front and rear differentials, 5-speed manual with crawler first gear, 24-volt electrical system, folding windshield, and military-style exterior mirrors. Custom additions such as the Canadian G-Wagen-inspired front bull bar, Black Rhino wheels, 33x12.50 all-terrain tires, Rhino-lined body tub, and German-made tops give this Wolf an even stronger expedition-ready presence without losing sight of its original military identity.
