If German automotive brands are famous for one thing, it is their build quality. You can opt for one of their models from the ‘70s and they will likely still run as if they were built a couple of years back. To be quite frank, they don’t make them like that anymore. For example, the 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is built like a tank, and we aren’t the only ones who think so. With proper maintenance, these beautiful cruisers will probably run forever. What we are featuring here is an all-original 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible showing 119,000 miles on its clock. It is currently in South Carolina and it's a great opportunity to experience what the three-pointed Star had to offer back in the '70s.
What is better than a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL? A convertible version of it. On sunny days, you can enjoy a top-down cruise, and in bad weather, you get a hard top to keep you and your cabin protected. Cloaked in silver paint, this 450SL Convertible gleams under the sun with subtle chrome accents around, including exterior badging. The design touches of renowned German automotive designer Friedrich Geiger are unmistakable. This car is shod with Goodride SP06 Radial tires and rides on steel wheels displaying the three-pointed star. Hidden behind them are power disc brakes that provide excellent stopping power to this roadster. This 450SL has a gorgeous red leather interior that contrasts beautifully with the silver exterior. This cabin offers you a fully functioning A/C and AM/FM radio. The dash features wood trimming that adds a touch of sophistication to the interior. The driver is presented with the iconic Mercedes-Benz steering wheel and three large old-school gauges.
