Overview of 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC For Sale by Owner

One of the most successful classic Mercedes-Benz models in North America has got to be the R107 generation of the SL-Class grand tourer. During its lengthy production run that spanned 1971 to 1989, the model underwent countless upgrades and enhancements. Notably, 68% of all SL production was sold in the United States. Plus, the car was a Hollywood darling, becoming the favored wheels of the stars at the time, as well as starring in several movies and TV series. Today, we’ve got a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC for sale, so you can enjoy that star-studded lifestyle if you desire. This Colorado-based car comes with under 105,000 miles to its name, showing that it’s a car that’s pleasurable to drive. However, it’s also built with a solidarity that’s all but absent from most modern cars, meaning that if you continue to maintain it meticulously, you can easily triple that mileage.

Exterior and Interior

Showcasing its timeless lines penned by Joseph Gallitzendörfer and Friedrich Geiger, this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC comes in a beautiful coat of silver paint. While most R107 examples are removable hardtop convertibles, this car is actually an SLC derivative, which means that it’s got a longer, fixed metal roof and a sleeker side profile overall. There’s an added benefit to that on the inside which we’ll get to in due course. Further exterior highlights include the signature North American-style elongated bumpers which were criticized in their day, but have since become defining features of Seventies and Eighties cars. The car rides on a set of period-correct Mercedes-Benz wheels too. The interior of this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC comes with blue leather seating. Unlike an SL variant, the SLC offers a rear seat, thanks to the longer roofline. So, up to four adults can be accommodated in this car and they’ll enjoy features such as climate control with air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, a moonroof, and real wood trim. Meanwhile, there’s a modern Kenwood radio installed, with a CD player, USB port and AUX input.

Engine

Powering this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC is a 4.5-liter V8, paired with a 3-speed automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive configuration. The car also comes with power brakes and power steering.
