Background Story of this 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL

Overview of 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL For Sale by Owner

Mercedes-Benz's SL-Class line-up has been around since 1954. Representing the pinnacle of Grand Touring, these two-door automobiles have signified presence and class since their inception. They've been the default choice of the rich and famous, and older models have matured into excellent classic cars for anyone to enjoy. This 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is from the R107 generation and comes to you with a light 54,000 miles on the clock. The current owner says that it's an all-original car that's been garage-kept.

Exterior and Interior

The silver paint job worn by this 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is claimed to be the original paintwork that this car will have received when it left the Mercedes-Benz factory gates way back in 1978. We must say that it appears to have been looked after extremely well. Furthermore, you've got the dark blue soft convertible top, as well as the color-matched hardtop included with the sale. That's one of the R107's best features. You get two cars in one. Choose the convertible top for fine-weather days or button up with the hardtop when things are less pleasant outside. The interior of this 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL presents itself in blue and includes plenty of period wood trim on the dashboard and door cards. We see that this car bears the desirable climate control option and includes air conditioning as well. There's a JVC radio cassette installed in the dash, which likely isn't the car's original radio, given that these Mercedes-Benz models came with Becker radios from the factory. The car also has power windows, power mirrors, and cruise control.

Engine

The powerplant that motivates this 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is a 4.5L V8. Developing 180hp and 220lb-ft, it provides a pleasing performance that matches the car's cruising character. A three-speed automatic transmission seamlessly shifts gears and drives the rear wheels. We're told that the car has received an oil change. Power-assisted steering and power disc brakes on all four wheels ensure an easy driving experience, while the 90L fuel tank provides plenty of range for long trips. After all, this car is meant to eat up highway miles with ease and get you to your destination with minimal fuss.

1972 Mercedes-Benz 450SL

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$14,900
SOLD

In the late Sixties, Mercedes-Benz knew that it was time to replace their iconic W114 line-up of grand touring coupes. Development started on a successor, and by 1971, the R107 and C107 generation was released. It bore the name SL, and in the case of the R107, came with a removable hardtop plus a soft top. Meanwhile, the C107 was a fixed-head coupe. The R107 in particular would prove to be a massive success. In total, over 237,000 R107 variants were made between 1971 and 1989. Today, an R107 represents a sound and safe way to get into classic cars, as it’s built tough and can keep going on and on when properly maintained. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 184,122-mile 1972 Mercedes-Benz 450SL from Sandy, Utah for sale today. Its mileage is proof that not only is this a car that can eat up long distances, but it’s also one that encourages you to drive it more and more.
