Overview of 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL For Sale by Owner

If you want to own a luxury Mercedes-Benz that’s a classic but still relatively modern, you can’t go amiss with an R107 example. Made between 1971 and 1989, the R107 SL-Class is a Hollywood darling and a perfect example of what Mercedes-Benz can do when they set their minds on being the best. What’s more, this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is an excellent choice because it’s got a lovely fuel-injected V8 beneath the hood. Packing a mere 98,500 miles, the current owner says that the car has received a new battery and all-new tires too. So, it’s basically a buy-and-drive classic.

Exterior and Interior

The dark brown hue that this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL presents itself in is a stunning color. You rarely see cars with this particular shade anymore, and it looks particularly great in bright sunshine. What’s more, the car comes with a body-colored removable hard top for use during the winter months or periods of heavy rain. When the weather is nicer, you can leave this at home and cruise around. Should you need protection, there’s still a soft top present. The beige interior of this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL comes with features such as air conditioning with climate control, power windows, power mirrors, and a power radio antenna. Meanwhile, the current owner has upgraded the audio system to an aftermarket head unit. This brings Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a USB port and an AUX input. You’ve got a decently-sized trunk behind the two-seat passenger cabin, plus a padded luggage area in the cabin itself, behind the seats. So, you can easily take a cross-country tour in this classic Merc.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL lies a 4.5L naturally aspirated V8 with Bosch electronic fuel injection. The factory-quoted figures for the engine are up to 180hp and 220lb-ft. A 3-speed automatic gearbox handles power transfer duties to the rear wheels. Meanwhile, the car comes with double-wishbone front suspension and semi-trailing arm rear suspension for a comfortable ride. Front and rear disc brakes are present for ample stopping power, while the recirculating ball steering provides you with that sense of comfort and easy-riding maneuverability that’s absent from today’s electric racks.
