Background Story of this 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL

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

The SL-Class from Mercedes-Benz is one of the Stuttgart automaker's timeless icons. With a lineage tracing back to the legendary 300SL Gullwing of 1954, the SL, or Sport-Leicht in German, is a two-door luxury sports car and grand tourer. One particular generation that spanned much of the Seventies and Eighties was the R107, which ran between 1971 and 1989. Over 300,000 cars were built and sold in many countries across the globe. This 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is an excellent example of a car that was a Hollywood darling in its time. Don't think too much about the 118,471 miles on the odometer, as the current owner reports that the car has received a recent tune-up and repairs. These cars were built to live long lives, after all.

Exterior and Interior

Sporting a lovely hue of gold across its body with color-matched hubcaps, this 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL cuts a fine dash among today's sea of modern vehicles, some of which resemble appliances on wheels. The current owner tells us that the car has received a new convertible top, and we see that it wears a hardtop as well. This was one of the R107's party pieces; you could have a canvas-topped convertible as well as a hardtop in one car. We must also draw your attention to the North American-style headlamps and front bumpers, which, while slightly diluting the R107's original design, were a safety-mandated requirement for sale in North America at the time. The tires are reportedly new, according to the current owner, so you needn't worry about aged rubber. Inside, this 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL offers two leather seats and a luggage area behind them, augmenting the car's trunk. We also observe an automatic climate control and air conditioning control panel in the center stack. Musical avenues have been upgraded, thanks to a Kenwood head unit that supports SiriusXM, Bluetooth, CD, USB and AUX connectivity, in addition to good old FM radio.

Engine

This 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is propelled by a 4.5L V8 that was factory rated for around 180hp and 220lb-ft. A three-speed automatic transmission drives the rear wheels, resulting in a stately cruiser rather than a tire burner. We're told that this car has received a new radiator, as well as new suspension, so you needn't worry much.
